COMS 2019 - 10th Workshop on Computational Optimization, Modelling and Simulation

The 10th Workshop on Computational Optimization, Modelling and Simulation (COMS 2019)
12-14 June 2019, Faro, Algarve, Portugal https://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2019/
[Workshop Organizers: Xin-She Yang, Slawomir Koziel, Leifur Leifsson]
The 10th workshop "Computational Optimization, Modelling and Simulation (COMS 2019)" will be a part of the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2019). This will be the 10th event of the COMS workshop series with the first held during ICCS 2010 in Amsterdam, then within ICCS in Singapore, USA, Spain, Australia, Iceland, USA, Switzerland and China. COMS 2019 intends to provide a forum and foster discussion on the cross-disciplinary research and development in computational optimization, computer modelling and simulation. Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNCS Series.
COMS2019 will focus on new algorithms and methods, new trends, and latest developments in computational optimization, modelling and simulation as well as applications in science, engineering and industry.
Topics include (but not limited to):
· Computational optimization, engineering optimization and design
· Bio-inspired computing and algorithms
· Metaheuristics (ant and bee algorithms, cuckoo search, firefly algorithm, genetic algorithms, PSO, simulated annealing etc)
· Simulation-driven design and optimization of computationally expensive objectives
· Surrogate- and knowledge-based optimization algorithms
· Scheduling and network optimization
· Integrated approach to optimization and simulation
· Multiobjective optimization
· New optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization
· Design of experiments
· Application case studies in engineering and industry.
