Matheuritics Session		  (2nd CALL FOR PAPERS)

VII ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization

Porto, Portugal, May 4 - 6, 2011

http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/ALIO-EURO-2011


In the framework of the seventh conference on Combinatorial Optimization
jointly organized by the Association of Latin-Iberoamerican Operational
Research Societies (ALIO) and the Association of European Operational
Research Societies (EURO), we are soliciting submissions to the special
session on Matheuristics.

Topics of interest include:

      * Model-based metaheuristics
        
      * Dual information and metaheuristics
        
      * Decompositions and lower/upper bounds in metaheuristic codes
        
      * Stochastic programming and heuristic search
        
      * MIP solvers as search components (local branching, RINS, ...)
        
      * Hybridizing heuristics and exact methods
        
      * Upper and lower bounds interacting evolutions
        
      * Real world case histories of successful metaheuristic
        applications
        


Important Dates

January 31, 2011 - Deadline for Abstract Submission.

February 28, 2011 - Notification of acceptance.

March 14, 2011 - Deadline for early registration and authors
