[DMANET] CFA - IWOBIP 2024

IWOBIP 24 - CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Dear all,

The Institute of Complex Engineering Systems (ISCI) and the Universidad de
O'Higgins invite you to the 3rd International Workshop on Bilevel
Optimization (IWOBIP 2024) to be held at the Universidad de O'Higgins in
Rancagua and the city of Santa Cruz, Chile, between January 22 and 26, 2024.

Official webpage: iwobip2024.cl

Abstract submission

Presentations at the workshop will be selected based on abstracts (3000
characters). Interested authors should submit their abstracts
electronically in plain text by September 15th, 2023. Only a single
presentation per speaker will be permitted. Multiple submissions involving
the same authors are allowed, but authors will be asked to confirm speaker
details at the decision stage.

The abstract submission platform can be found at the following link:

Scope and Topics

Bilevel Programming is a branch of optimization that deals with programs
whose constraints embed an auxiliary optimization problem. Bilevel programs
are pervasive and are commonly found in several real-world problems. This
includes problems in transportation, energy, economics, decision science,
environmental economics, and machine learning.

The topics of interest of the IWOBIP'24 are theory, exact methods,
heuristic algorithms, and interesting applications modeled as bilevel
programming problems.

Structure

Two mini-courses aimed at postgraduate students will be held on January 22
and 23:

-

Exploring Integer Programming to Solve Games with Multiple Leaders and
Multiple Followers (M. Carvalho)
-

A Primer on Bilevel and Robust Optimization (M. Schmidt)

The workshop will take place from January 24 to January 26, 2024, and will
include the attendance of three prestigious and world-renowned invited
speakers: Ted Ralphs, Claudia D'Ambrossio, and Alain Jean-Marie. We also
expect to have at least twenty contributions.

See you in Chile!
