[DMANET] WCO12 workshop

------------

First Call for Papers

5th Workshop on Computational Optimization (WCO 2012)
Wroclaw, Poland, September 9 - 12, 2012

organized in the framework of FEDERATED CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER SCIENCE
AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
FedCSIS - 2011

http://www.fedcsis.org/

====================

We invite original contributions related with both theoretical and
practical aspects of optimization methods.
The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

* unconstrained and constrained optimization
* combinatorial optimization
* global optimization
* multiobjective optimization
* optimization in dynamic and/or noisy environments
* large scale optimization
* parallel and distributed approaches in optimization
* random search algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search and other
derivative free optimization methods
* nature inspired optimization methods (evolutionary algorithms, ant
colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, immune artificial
systems etc)
* hybrid optimization algorithms involving natural computing techniques
and other global and local optimization methods
* computational biology and optimization
* distance geometry and applications
* optimization methods for learning processes and data mining
* application of optimization methods on real life and industrial problems
* computational optimization methods in statistics, econometrics,
finance, physics, medicine, engineering etc

====================

Important dates:

22.04.2012 (April 22, 2012) – Full paper submission

17.06.2011 (June 17, 2012) – Notification of acceptance

8.07.2012 (July 8, 2012) – Camera-ready version of the accepted paper
