Dear Colleagues,
We have celebrated the 70th anniversary of our colleague and co-author, Dr.
Panos M. Pardalos on June 17, 2024, see https://www.ise.ufl.edu/pardalos/,
https://elliit.se/panos-m-pardalos/,
https://www.hse.ru/en/org/persons/44226286,
https://toxeus.org/panos-pardalos/.
I cordially invite you to contribute to the volume of papers in honor of
Panos. The title of the volume is "*Theory, Algorithms and Experiments in
Applied Optimization: In Honor of Panos M. Pardalos' 70th Birthday*" to
emphasize Panos' contributions to his area of research in the
state-of-the-art in local and global optimization starting with his seminal
paper "An exact algorithm for the maximum clique problem" cited more than
800 times and continued with many solved problems in mathematical theory of
optimization, combinatorial optimization, integer programming,
deterministic and stochastic optimization, scheduling theory and its
applications, supply chain optimization, simulated annealing and genetic
algorithms, Pareto optimality, game theory and equilibria, Raman
spectroscopy for clinical oncology, cell formation in industrial
engineering, energy systems, natural gas industry, vehicle routing problem
and its variations, financial and stock markets, optimization in optimal
control and many other. The scheduled Publisher is Springer. The book will
be processed by a peer reviewing procedure to help maintain a high quality
volume and published in Springer Optimization and Its Applications book
series https://www.springer.com/series/7393.
Each published chapter will be cited in Scopus and MathSciNet at the level
Q2.
Your contribution may include a high portion of previously published
results if presented as a more or less comprehensive review. The upper
bound of your contribution is 50 pages. Topics of interest for submission
include, but are not limited to the above listed areas of Dr. Pardalos'
research activities. The format of your contribution is LaTex or Word see
for details
https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/your-publication-journey/manuscript-preparation
Could you send a preliminary title and abstract of your submission as soon
as possible but not later than *September 25, 2024* to Boris Goldengorin,
goldengorin@gmail.com
Your final version is expected not later than *October 25, 2024*. The
intended date of this book publication is not later than March 31st, 2025.
Please submit your abstracts, papers, list of potential 3 reviewers and
questions to Boris Goldengorin, goldengorin@gmail.com
Thanks for your contribution,
The Editor,
Boris Goldengorin

<br>
The 25th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in <br>
Combinatorial Optimisation<br>
is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together researchers <br>
