<span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">The IEEE Workshop on Parallel / Distributed Combinatorics and Optimization aims at providing a forum for scientific researchers and engineers on recent advances in the field of parallel or distributed combinatorics
for difficult optimization problems, ranging from theoretical to applied problems. The latter include for instance 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problems and cutting stock problems, large scale linear programming problems, nonlinear optimization problems,
global optimization and scheduling problems. </span></div>

<span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Emphasis will be placed on new techniques for solving difficult optimization problems, like cooperative methods for integer programming problems, nature-inspired techniques and hybrid methods. Aspects related
to Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC) will also be treated. We also solicit submissions of original manuscripts on sparse matrix computations and related topics (including graph algorithms); and related methods and tools for their efficiency on different
parallel systems. Applications combining traditional parallel and distributed combinatorics and optimization techniques as well as theoretical issues (convergence, complexity, etc.) are welcome.</span></div>
