Scope: <br>
====== <br>
The IEEE Workshop on Parallel / Distributed Combinatorics and
Optimization aims at providing a forum for scientific
researchers and engineers on recent advances in the field of
parallel or distributed combinatorics for difficult
optimization problems, ranging from theoretical to applied
problems. The latter include for instance 0-1 multidimensional
knapsack problems and cutting stock problems, large scale
linear programming problems, nonlinear optimization problems,
global optimization, scheduling problems and planning
problems. <br>
<br>
Emphasis will be placed on new techniques for solving
difficult optimization problems, like cooperative methods for
integer programming problems, nature-inspired techniques and
hybrid methods. Aspects related to Combinatorial Scientific
Computing (CSC) will also be treated. We solicit submissions
of original manuscripts on sparse matrix computations and
related topics (including graph algorithms); and related
methods and tools for their efficiency on different parallel
systems. Applications combining parallel and distributed
combinatorics and optimization techniques as well as
theoretical issues (convergence study, complexity, etc.) are
welcome.<br>
<br>
Application domains of interest include (but are not limited
to) cloud computing, planning, robotics, logistics,
manufacturing, finance, telecommunications and computational
biology. <br>
<br>
<br>
Topics: <br>
======= <br>
Integer programming, linear programming, nonlinear
programming.<br>
Exact methods, heuristics. <br>
Parallel algorithms for combinatorial optimization.<br>

for problem solving environments.<br>
Parallel and distributed metaheuristics for optimization
(algorithms, technologies and tools). <br>
Applications combining traditional parallel and distributed
computing and optimization techniques as well as theoretical
issues (convergence, complexity). <br>
Distributed optimization algorithms. <br>
GPU computing and optimization.<br>
