[DMANET] Computational Optimization

------------

Second Call for Papers

4th Workshop on Computational Optimization (WCO 2011)
Szczecin, Poland, 19-21 September, 2011

satellite workshop of 6th International Symposium Advances in
Artificial Intelligence and Applications
organized in the framework of FEDERATED CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER SCIENCE
AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
FedCSIS - 2011

http://fedcsis.org/

====================

We invite original contributions related with both theoretical and
practical aspects of optimization methods.
The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

* unconstrained and constrained optimization
* 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 and
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

====================

Important dates:

31.05.2011 (May 31, 2011) – Full paper submission

30.06.2011 (June 12, 2011) – Notification of acceptance
