[DMANET] Event on Emerging optimization methods: from metaheuristics to quantum approaches

*Dear Colleague*

*

We are proud to announce an International event

*

Emerging optimization methods: from metaheuristics to quantum approaches


Troyes, 17th - 21st of April 2023.

This a joint international event composed of:

*

a conference parton emergent metaheuristics: the 21st edition of
EUME meeting initiated by the working groups EUME (member of EURO)
and GT2L.

*

a training parton quantum approaches (set of tutorials and practical
work on quantum computing for optimization) initiated by the working
groups EUME and GT ROQ.

and supported by 3 national organizations and several international
organizations.

Location: University of Technology of Troyes

Date: Monday April 17 to Friday April 21, 2023.


Short description:

Optimization research brings together various disciplines such as
operations research (OR) and artificial intelligence. All of them use
algorithms which include, among other things, learning, logic or
knowledge engineering, but also planning, constraints and
metaheuristics. This theme has experienced enormous growth with the
development of computer science, and the new promises of quantum
computers offer rich prospects for the field, which essentially deals
with complex combinatorial problems.

The purpose of this event is to present the latest advances in terms of
metaheuristics for optimization (conference part) and to introduce the
community to quantum computing (training part) in order to take the
turning point brought by quantum deployment, and enable optimization
researchers to meet future challenges.

Practical work on the use of quantum computers will be offered with
applications to very concrete problems such as graph coloring, SAT
and/or TSP.

How to participate:

You can:

*

submit your contribution to the session ;

*

organize a session (contact shortly the organizer) ;

*

participate to both conference and classes.


Certificates of attendance will be issued and may be used by PhD
students to request validation of courses in doctoral schools.

Tutorials by:

Jin-Kao Hao, Eric Taillard, Christophe Couteau, Olivier Ezratty, Fred
Glover, Olivier Hess, Simon Perdrix, Anita Schöbel, Vedran Dunjko
