********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************



Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we 

would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text 

generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless 

the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.



*********************************************************************



Many real world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and 

other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks. These problems 

are frequently characterized by non-convex, non-differentiable, 

discontinuous, noisy or dynamic objective functions and constraints 

which ask for adequate computational methods.



The aim of this workshop is to stimulate the communication between 

researchers working on different fields of optimization and 

practitioners who need reliable and efficient computational optimization 

methods.



We invite original contributions related to both theoretical and 

practical aspects of optimization methods.



Topics



The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:



+    combinatorial and continuous global optimization

+    unconstrained and constrained optimization

+    multiobjective and robust optimization

+    optimization in dynamic and/or noisy environments

+    optimization on graphs

+    large-scale optimization, in parallel and distributed computational 

environments

+    meta-heuristics for optimization, nature-inspired approaches and 

any other derivative-free methods

+    exact/heuristic hybrid methods, involving natural computing 

techniques and other global and local optimization methods

+    numerical and heuristic methods for modeling



The applications of interest are included in the list below, but are not 

limited to:



+    classical operational research problems (knapsack, traveling 

salesman, etc)

+    computational biology and distance geometry

+    data mining and knowledge discovery

+    human motion simulations; crowd simulations

+    industrial applications

+    optimization in statistics, econometrics, finance, physics, 

chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering

+    environment modeling and optimization



Best Paper Award



The best WCO'23 paper will be awarded during the social dinner of 

FedCSIS 2023.



The best paper will be selected by WCO'23 co-Chairs by taking into 

consideration the scores suggested by the reviewers, as well as the 

quality of the given oral presentation.
