[DMANET] CFP Metaheuristics and Decision Making Methods

Dear Colleague, On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you to participate in the special session (workshop) on "Application of Metaheuristics and Decision Making Methods to Large-Scale Problems" at the 16th International Conference on Large Scale Scientific Computation - LSSC'27, June 14 - 18, 2027, Sozopol, Bulgaria, with arrival: June 13 and departure: noon June 18. 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 decision making methods 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). Important deadlines Deadline for submission of abstracts January 15, 2027 Notification of acceptance of the talks on the basis of the submitted abstract January 31, 2027 Deadline for registration March 01, 2027 Deadline for submission of full papers March 01, 2027 Notification of acceptance of full papers April 15, 2027 Abstracts and contributed papers The abstracts (up to 1 page stating clearly the originality of the results) are to be written in standard LaTeX. The length of the contributed papers is limited to 8 pages. It is assumed that ONE participant will present not more than ONE talk. Send the abstracts and papers to special session organizers and conference organizers, indicating the name of the special session. After sending the abstract go to the conference web page and fill in the registration form (personal data of the participants, minimum one per paper, and the name of the special session).
