[cmath] LION 15, June 20-25, 2021, Athens, Greece, Call For Papers

[Ilias Kotsireas]

The 15th Learning and Intelligent Optimization Conference
LION 15
June 20-25, 2021 (Athens, Greece)
https://lion15.sba-research.org/


Call for Papers

Paper Format
Please prepare your paper in English using the Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science (LNCS) template, which is available here. Papers must be submitted in 
PDF.

Types of Submissions

When submitting a paper to LION15, authors are required to select one of the 
following three types of papers:

Long paper: original novel and unpublished work (max. 15 pages in LNCS format);

Short paper: an extended abstract of novel work (max. 6 pages in LNCS format);

Work for oral presentation only (no page restriction; any format). For example, 
work already published elsewhere, which is relevant and which may solicit 
fruitful discussion at the conference.

Topics of Interest

LION15 welcomes high quality submissions on the broad topics of machine 
learning, artificial intelligence, energy, mathematical programming, 
optimization (models, algorithms and applications) and heuristics.

Additionally, more specialized, submission topics for long and short papers may 
include, but are not limited to:

automatic solver configuration
parallel methods for search and optimization
hard combinatorial optimization problems
intelligent optimization in health, e-health, bioinformatics and neurosciences
machine learning and optimization methods in tourism and hospitality
nature-inspired algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems
hard combinatorial optimization problems in combinatorics, computational 
geometry and machine learning
DC (difference of convex functions) learning: theory, algorithms and 
applications
computational intelligence for smart cities
computational intelligence for autonomous driving
optimization and management in smart manufacturing
algorithms and applied optimization for environmental data science
machine learning and robust optimization techniques in finance applications
machine learning and optimization methods in software engineering
