META'2021
International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired Computing
27-30 Oct 2021
Marrakech, Morocco
http://meta2021.sciencesconf.org/
**********************************************************************
META is one of the main event focusing on the progress of the area of
metaheuristics and their applications. As in previous editions, META’2021 will
provide an opportunity to the international research community in
metaheuristics to discuss recent research results, to develop new ideas and
collaborations, and to meet old friends and make new ones in a friendly and
relaxed atmosphere.
All selected long papers will be published in the Springer (SCOPUS, ISI, DBLP)
conference proceedings.
At least, 2 special special issues in ISI and SCOPUS journals are also
confirmed.
META'2021 welcomes presentations that cover any aspects of metaheuristic
research such as new algorithmic developments, high-impact applications, new
research challenges, theoretical developments, implementation issues, and
in-depth experimental studies. META'2021 strives for a high-quality program
that will be completed by a number of invited talks, tutorials, workshops and
special sessions.
The scope of the META conference includes, but is not limited to:
* Local search, tabu search, simulated annealing, VNS, ILS, …
* Evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, bio-inspired algorithms, …
* Emergent nature inspired algorithms: quantum computing, artificial immune
systems, bee colony, DNA computing, …
* Quantum computing
* Parallel and distributed algorithms
* Decomposition methods
* Hybrid methods with machine learning, game theory, mathematical
programming, constraint programming, co-evolutionary, …
* Application to: logistics and transportation, networks, scheduling, data
mining, engineering design, energy, cloud, bio-medical, …
* Theory of metaheuristics, landscape analysis, convergence, problem
difficulty, very large neighbourhoods, …
* Multi-objective optimization, bi-level optimization
* Dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty, stochastic optimization,
…
* Parameter tuning (static, dynamic, adaptive, self-adaptive)
* Hyper-heuristics, cross-domain metaheuristics
* Software frameworks for metaheuristics and nature inspired computing
Submission of papers:
____________________
- Submission of papers via the website
