<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">Scope: </span><br class="">
<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">====== </span><br class="">
<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">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, scheduling problems and planning problems. </span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">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 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 parallel and distributed combinatorics and optimization techniques as well as theoretical issues (convergence study, complexity, etc.) are welcome.</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">Application domains of interest include (but are not limited to) cloud computing, planning, robotics, logistics, manufacturing, finance, telecommunications and computational biology. </span><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">Topics: </span><br class="">
<span style="line-height: normal;" class="">======= </span><br class="">
Integer programming, linear programming, nonlinear programming.<br class="">
Exact methods, heuristics. <br class="">
Parallel algorithms for combinatorial optimization.<br class="">
Graph computing, combinatorial pattern matching.<br class="">
Parallel metaheuristics. <br class="">
Parallel and distributed computational intelligence methods, <br class="">
e.g. evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, ant colonies, cellular automata, DNA and molecular computing) for problem solving environments. <br class="">
Parallel and distributed metaheuristics for optimization (algorithms, technologies and tools). <br class="">
Applications combining traditional parallel and distributed computing and optimization techniques as well as theoretical issues (convergence, complexity). <br class="">
Distributed optimization algorithms. <br class="">
GPU computing and optimization.<br class="">
Parallel sparse matrix computations, graph algorithms, load balancing. <br class="">
