["Susana Relvas" <susana.relvas@tecnico.ulisboa.pt>]

Dear colleague,

 

This is an invitation to submit a contribution for the:

 

Computational Optimization and Applications (COA 2020) Workshop

 

of the 20th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2020, http://www.iccsa.org/) will be held on July 1 - 4, 2020 in Cagliari, Italy.

 

TOPICS

======

The scope of the Workshop is to bring together scientists working in Computational Optimization and its applications in science and engineering.

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 

* Computational Optimization: new issues in computational algorithms for continuous and discrete optimization; deterministic and stochastic algorithms, nature-inspired algorithms and other metaheuristic algorithms for solving optimization problems.

 

* Applications: case studies in all areas of sciences, engineering and industry, including economics, medicine, biology, earth sciences and social sciences.

 

IMPORTANT DATES

================

February 15, 2020: Deadline for abstract and paper submission to the COA Workshop

April 15, 2020: Notification of Acceptance.

May 8, 2020: Early-bird Registration ends.

May 8, 2020: Submission deadline for the final version of the Proceeding Papers

July 1-4, 2020: ICCSA 2020 Conference

 

PROCEEDINGS

============

The proceedings of the COA 2020 Workshop will appear in the Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The paper must be camera-ready, between 10 and 16 pages long and formatted according to the LNCS rules

 

SUBMISSION DETAILS

==================

All accepted papers will be included in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs ) series and indexed by Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in ISI Web of Science), and several other indexing services. The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers. Submitted papers will be subject to stringent peer review by at least three experts and carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

 

The authors can submit abstracts and papers to your session accessing the electronic submission site: http://ess.iccsa.org/

 

You can find the instructions to prepare and submit papers on the web site (http://www.iccsa.org/instructions-for-authors )

If you are not registered, you must to register before the submission. From the personal page the author is able to submit first an abstract (phase 1), then a full paper (phase 2), selecting the session from the list of sessions in the submission forms.

 

The author will be able to update the paper until the submission deadline.
