Variable
Neighborhood Search (VNS) is a metaheuristic which has shown to
be very
successful for solving hard combinatorial and global
optimization
problems.
During the EURO Mini-Conference on VNS took place
in Herceg Novi,
Montenegro, October 4th-7th 2012, researchers all around
the world
presented their most recent findings on VNS, either from a
methodological
viewpoint or as applications to real world
problems.
Authors of papers presented at the EURO Mini-Conference on VNS
are
especially encouraged to submit their work to this special issue in
the
Journal of Global Optimization. However, the issue is open to
all
researchers who can contribute to a better
knowledge of VNS.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Theory and
Methodology:
* Theoretical or empirical analysis of VNS
* New variants
of deterministic and stochastic VNS
* Continuous global VNS
*
Mat-heuristics and VNS
* Formulation space VNS
* Multi-objective VNS
*
Parallel VNS
* VNS hybrids
Applications:
* Mixed integer programming
*
Graphs, communication networks
* Clustering, data mining, location
*
Inventory, routing, supply chains
* Packing and covering
* Discovery
sciences
* Other real world problems
Before submission authors should
carefully read over the journals Author
Guidelines. Prospective authors
should submit an electronic copy of their
complete manuscript through
the journal's editorial manager
http://jogo.edmgr.com/ and specifying
that their paper is for the special
issue "SI: VNS 2012".
