[DMANET] CFP for Matheuristic Session on ALIO/EURO Workshop (Corrected Version)

Matheuritics Session

VII ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization

Porto, Portugal, May 4 - 6, 2011

http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/ALIO-EURO-2011


In the framework of the seventh conference on Combinatorial Optimization
jointly organized by the Association of Latin-Iberoamerican Operational
Research Societies (ALIO) and the Association of European Operational
Research Societies (EURO), we are soliciting submissions to the special
session on Matheuristics.

Topics of interest include:

* Model-based metaheuristics

* Dual information and metaheuristics

* Decompositions and lower/upper bounds in metaheuristic codes

* Stochastic programming and heuristic search

* MIP solvers as search components (local branching, RINS, ...)

* Hybridizing heuristics and exact methods

* Upper and lower bounds interacting evolutions

* Real world case histories of successful metaheuristic
applications


Important Dates

January 31, 2011 - Deadline for Abstract Submission.

February 28, 2011 - Notification of acceptance.

March 14, 2011 - Deadline for early registration and authors
registration.

May 4-6, 2011 - VII ALIO/EURO Workshop.


Abstract Submission

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of 2 to 4 pages on
A4-size paper. Please use the conference LaTeX template to prepare your
