Final CfP, Matheuristics 2016

Forum 'Annonces' - Sujet créé le 2016-04-29

Dear all,

the submission deadline, May 4, 2016, for the Matheuristics 2016, Sixth International Workshop on Model-based Metaheuristics is approaching.

The Matheuristics workshop series is proposed as a primary forum for researchers working on exploiting mathematical programming techniques in a (meta)heuristic framework, granting to mathematical programming approaches the problem robustness and time effectiveness that characterize heuristics, or exploiting the mathematical programming model formulation in the customization of a heuristic for specific or general problems.

For more details on the workshop, see the page http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/matheuristics2016/.

The conference program will consist of plenary presentations, enriched by a couple of keynote or tutorial lectures. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Model-based metaheuristics,
- Hybridizing (meta)heuristics and exact methods,
- MIP techniques used for defining heuristic solvers (such as local branching and RINS),
- Problem relaxations to guide (heuristic) search,
- Information from exact algorithms to develop heuristics,
- Decompositions and lower/upper bounds in matheuristic codes,
- Stochastic programming and heuristic search,
- Metaheuristics for stochastic problems,
- Design and configuration of matheuristic algorithms,
- Experimental analysis and modeling of algorithms,
- Real world case histories of matheuristic applications, and
- Automatic configuration of matheuristics and algorithm selection among others.

The Workshop will be in Brussels, Belgium and the most important dates are the following.
