[DMANET] Calls for Sessions on EMO for the IFORS2020 conference

Dear colleague,
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

We are the organisers of the "Evolutionary
Multi-objective Optimization (EMO)" stream at IFORS and 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<br>
* 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!

With best regards,
Richard and Manuel
