Dear colleague, we kindly want to bring this workshop/conference to your attention: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Theory and Applications of Metaheuristic Algorithms as part of the 17th Int. Conference on Computer Aided Systems Theory http://eurocast2019.fulp.ulpgc.es/workshops-and-participation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- February 17-22, 2019, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain *** Deadline for 2-page abstracts: November 15, 2018 *** Workshop Scope The workshop invites original work concerning all aspects of metaheuristics and heuristic problem solving, in particular: • Theory and applications of metaheuristics such as Evolutionary Algorithms, GRASP, Iterated Greedy, Iterated Local Search, Large Neighborhood Search, Scatter Search, Simulated Annealing, Swarm Algorithms, Tabu Search, and Variable Neighborhood Search • New algorithmic developments • Hybrid approaches • Mathematical programming based approaches, e.g. Matheuristics • Constraint programming based approaches • Parallel metaheuristics • Machine learning and simulation • Data driven modeling and prediction • Simulation based heuristic optimization • Applications of simulation based soft computing • Applications in combinatorial optimization, bio-and medical informatics, networks and telecommunications, logistics, scheduling, and transportation PAPER SUBMISSION An extended two-pages abstract, including references, with indication of the workshop (Theory and Applications of Metaheuristic Algorithms) must be submitted at http://eurocast2019.fulp.ulpgc.es by *November 15, 2018*. Please follow the author instructions for Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science Series (LNCS). Authors will be notified of acceptance around December 1, 2018. After the conference full papers will be invited and accepted ones will be published in a *post-conference volume*. It is anticipated that these final papers will be published in line with prior Eurocast meetings in the Springer LNCS Series. These full papers will have to be submitted by *April 30, 2019*.
