[DMANET] APPLICATIONS OF METAHEURISTICS TO LARGE-SCALE PROBLEMS

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you to participate in the
special session (workshop) on
"APPLICATIONS OF METAHEURISTICS TO LARGE-SCALE PROBLEMS" at the 15th
International Conference on
Large Scale Scientific Computation - LSSC'25, June 16 - 20, 2025, Sozopol,
Bulgaria,
with arrival: June 15 and departure: noon June 20.

The session is organized by:
Prof. Stefka Fidanova (stefka.fidanova@gmail.com)
from the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Bulgarian
Academy of Sciences and
Gabriel Luque (gabriel@lcc.uma.es) from University of Malaga, Spain.

Topics

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

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
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
optimization methods for learning processes and data mining
computational optimization methods in statistics, econometrics, finance,
physics, medicine, biology, engineering etc

Proceedings
We plan to continue publishing the proceedings of only refereed and
presented papers as a
special volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
