========================
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms are among the most powerful
techniques for solving computationally hard problems in many areas of
computer science, operational research and engineering. SLS techniques
range from rather simple constructive and iterative improvement
algorithms to general-purpose methods, also widely known as
metaheuristics, such as ant colony optimisation, evolutionary
computation, iterated local search, memetic algorithms, simulated
annealing, tabu search and variable neighbourhood search.
========================
SCOPE
========================
The SLS 2020 workshop will give researchers interested in the principles
and practice of the design, implementation and analysis of stochastic
local search algorithms, with a focus on automated algorithm design and
analysis approaches, the opportunity to meet, to present their latest
research, and to discuss current developments and applications.
The SLS Workshop solicits contributions dealing with any aspect of
engineering stochastic local search algorithms. Typical, but not
exclusive, topics of interest are:
- New algorithmic developments
- Automated design of SLS algorithms
- In-depth experimental studies of SLS algorithms
- Theoretical analysis of SLS behaviour and their impact on the design
- Extensions to multi-objective optimisation
- Applications of SLS algorithms to real-world problems
========================
SUBMISSIONS
========================
There are no format requirements. You can submit your ideas
([log in to unmask]) by simple mail, or as PDF. Please indicate the
format of your suggested contribution (talk, discussion, breakout,
brainstorming, etc.) and how much time you suggest for this activity.
The workshop is also a perfect venue to share your recently published work.
Please note that PPSN workshop papers are not published in the
conference proceedings.
If you do not care about being listed in the conference proceedings, you
can send us your ideas/contributions/position papers/suggested
activities/... any time, ideally before July 14, 2020.
Please send your suggestions for presentations and/or discussions by
e-mail to [log in to unmask]
