SUMMARY:Matheuristics 2018\, Tours
DESCRIPTION:18-20 june 2018\, Tours\, France\nThe Matheuristics workshop series is proposed as a primary forum for researchers working on exploiting mathematical programming techniques in a (meta)heuristic framework\, granting to mathematical programming approaches the problem robustness and time effectiveness which characterize heuristics\, or exploiting the mathematical programming model formulation in the customization of a heuristic for specific or general problems. \nMetaheuristics such as tabu search\, simulated annealing\, GRASP\, VNS\, genetic algorithms and ant colonies\, have been originally proposed and developed when the available Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) algorithms and software or Constraint Programming methods were not an efficient as today\, nor even feasible alternative for solving real-world problem instances\, or significant subproblems thereof. \nHowever\, research on mathematical programming\, and in particular on discrete optimization\, has led to a state of the art where MIP solvers or customized MIP codes can be effective even in a heuristic context\, both as primary solvers or as subprocedures. \nMatheuristics 2018 aims at collecting contributions that define the state of the art for the computational effectiveness and efficiency or the theoretical properties of «matheuristics»\, which are algorithms and codes that integrate (meta)heuristics and MIP strategies and software. The workshop will be entirely devoted to this subject of research and to its applications. The conference program will consist of plenary presentations\, enriched by a couple of keynote or tutorial lectures. \nTopics of interest include (but are not limited to):\n\nModel-based metaheuristics\,\nHybridizing (meta)heuristics and exact methods\,\nMIP techniques used for defining heuristic solvers (such as local branching and RINS)\,\nProblem relaxations to guide (heuristic) search\,\nInformation from exact algorithms to develop heuristics\,\nDecompositions and lower/upper bounds in matheuristic codes\,\nStochastic programming and heuristic search\,\nMetaheuristics for stochastic problems\,\nDesign and configuration of matheuristic algorithms\,\nExperimental analysis and modeling of algorithms\,\nReal world case histories of matheuristic applications\, and\nAutomatic configuration of matheuristics and algorithm selection among others.\n\nAfter successful matheuristic workshops organized in 2006 and 2008 in Bertinoro (Italie)\, in 2010 in Vienna (Austria)\, in 2012 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)\, in 2014 in Hamburg (Germany) and in 2016 in Brussel (Belgium)\, the current edition will be held in the city of Tours (France) in the heart of the Loire Valley; a place reputed for science\, magestic castles\, and excellent wines. \nLatest news:\n\n01/09/2017: Submissions are now open\n15/11/2017: Submission deadline extended up to 01/12/2017\n\nImportant dates:\n\n1st september 2017: submissions open\n15th november 2017: submissions close\n1st december 2017: submissions close\n15th february 2018: notifications\n1st march 2018: camera ready papers\n1st April 2018: early bird registration closes\n18th-20th june 2018: workshop
