CFP IC on VNS (submission system is open) deadline May 1, 2014
Forum 'Annonces' - Sujet créé le 2014-04-13 par jbassem
website: http://vns-metaheuristic.com/index.html
The 3rd International Conference dedicated to Variable Neighborhood Search (IC on VNS) will be held in Djerba (Tunisia) October 8-11,2014.
VNS is a metaheuristic based on systematic changes in the neighborhood structure within a search, for solving optimization problems and related tasks. The main goal of the IC on VNS is to provide a stimulating environment in which researchers coming from various scientific fields can share and discuss their knowledge, expertise and ideas related to the VNS Metaheuristic and its applications.
The aim of the 3rd IC on VNS is to allow specialists and practitioners on Variable Neighborhood Search to effectively screen papers and participate in lively debates.
