The 22nd Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS 2020) will be held on June 21-26, 2020 in Seoul, South Korea.http://www.ifors2020.kr/
Interested in organizing one or more sessions on the "Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO)" stream at IFORS? We welcome session proposals within the scope of EMO including:
* Applications of EMO to continuous, combinatorial or mixed-integer problems
* Many-objective optimization
* Hybridization with exact methods
* Multi-objective Local search and other multi-objective metaheuristics, such as Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, etc.
* Preference handling and MCDM techniques in EMO and interactive approaches
* Constraint handling techniques
* Parallel EMO
* Performance assessment and benchmarking
* Automatic algorithm selection, configuration and design
* Data-driven and bayesian optimization and other applications of evolutionary machine learning
* Real-world applications
As a session organiser, your role will be to select abstract submissions or invite authors to deliver a talk within your session. A session typically consists of four talks. If there are more than four speakers, it is still possible that the same organisers hold more than one session dedicated to the same topic.
If you are interested in organising a session, please contact us (contact information below) with a tentative title and description of your proposal. Once accepted, we will include your session in the electronic Abstract Submission System and you can invite speakers to your session conveniently (a session can naturally have more than one organizer in which case you'll just have to decide who will chair the session).
The abstract submission deadline is January 17, 2020, so all abstracts of your session should be in the Abstract Submission System before that date. Please note that abstracts must be written in English and contain no more than 1500 characters in plain text format (no formulas allowed). Each registered attendee is allowed to give one presentation at the conference. The speaker must enter the abstract and will be shown as the first author.
IMPORTANT DATES:
* Abstract Submission Deadline - January 17, 2020
* Abstracts Accepted/Rejected Deadline - January 31, 2020
* Early-bird Registration Deadline - February 28, 2020
* Speakers Registration Deadline - March 1, 2020
If you know a colleague who might be interested in organizing a session in this stream, please, feel free to forward this invitation.
If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us!
