CALL FOR PAPERS
=======================================

7th Workshop on Computational Optimization (WCO'14)

Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014

WWW: http://fedcsis.org/wco
E-mail: wco2014@fedcsis.org

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper
to WCO 2014 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014).

FedCSIS is a yearly international multi-conference organized by the
Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation
with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter,
IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, ACM Special
Interest Group on Applied Computing, International Federation for
Information Processing, European Alliance for Innovation, IEEE-CIS
Poland Section Chapter, Informatics Europe, Asociaci?n de T?cnicos de
Inform?tica, Committee of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of
Sciences, Polish Society for Business Informatics, Polish Chamber of
Information Technology and Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of
Commerce for High Technology and Eastern Cluster ICT Poland.

Many real world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and
other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks. These problems
are frequently characterized by non-convex, non-differentiable,
discontinuous, noisy or dynamic objective functions and constraints
which ask for adequate computational methods.
The aim of this workshop is to stimulate the communication between
researchers working on different fields of optimization and
practitioners who need reliable and efficient computational optimization
methods.
We invite original contributions related to both theoretical and
practical aspects of optimization methods.

TOPICS
=======================================

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
- unconstrained and constrained optimization
- combinatorial optimization
- global optimization
- multiobjective optimization
- optimization in dynamic and/or noisy environments
- large scale optimization
- parallel and distributed approaches in optimization
- random search algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search and other
derivative free optimization methods
- nature inspired optimization methods (evolutionary algorithms, ant
colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, immune artificial
systems etc)
- hybrid optimization algorithms involving natural computing techniques
and other global and local optimization methods
- optimization methods for learning processes and data mining
- computational optimization methods in statistics, econometrics,
finance, physics, medicine, biology, engineering etc

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by April 11, 2014. Preprints will be
published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants.
Only papers presented during the conference will be submitted to the
IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. Furthermore,
proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN and ISSN numbers will
posted at the conference WWW site.  Since 2012, Proceedings of the
FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science.
Moreover, extended versions of selected papers presented during the
conference will be published as a volume in the Studies in Computational
Intelligence series.
