[DMANET] Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO) @ IFORS 2020: Second Call for Abstracts

Dear colleague,

You are kindly invited to submit an abstract to the stream “Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO)� at the 22nd Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS), Seoul, Korea (http://www.ifors2020.kr/).

We welcome contributions 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

If you intend to participate and give a talk, please upload an abstract of maximum 1500 characters to the IFORS 2020 submission platform (https://www.euro-online.org/conf/ifors2020/), using one of the Session Codes:

e52d90f3 - “Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO) 1�

383397e0 - “Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO) 2�

The abstract submission deadline is January 17, 2020, so all abstracts of your session should be in the Abstract Submission System before that date.

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

Also, if you are interested in organising a special 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).

If you have any question, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Happy new year!
