Dear Colleague,
The 27th European Conference on Operational Research, EURO 2015 (http://www.euro2015.org/) will take place in Glasgow, on July 12-15th, we will be organising a stream on
“Data Science for Optimisation”.
We invite you to contribute to one of the following sessions within the Data Science for Optimisation Stream:
- Adaptive Runtime Operator Selection and Hyper-heuristics (invitation code: 2d033f15)
Session Chair: Daniel Karapetyan
- Machine Learning for Improved Heuristic Optimisation (invitation code: 376b1a47)
Session Chair: Shahriar Asta
- Automated Algorithm Configuration and Selection (invitation code: 9d71f2a1)
Session Chair: Kevin Tierney
Please submit your abstract to the appropriate session using the corresponding invitation code via the abstract submission page: http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro27.
The deadline is March 16, 2015.
If you know a colleague who might be interested in submitting an abstract please feel free to forward this invitation.
The general scope of the stream is the usage of data science methods, including machine learning and statistics, to improve the effectiveness of optimisation and metaheuristics, as well as to reduce the time and cost of producing and maintaining them. The broader aim is to encourage interaction between optimisation and data science; bringing together researchers and practitioners from related fields, such as Operational Research (OR), Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- heuristics that exploit data science techniques, such as machine learning, data mining, statistical analysis or analytics
- (automated) parameter tuning/control in (meta)heuristics
- (meta)heuristics to generate (create) heuristics (e.g., generation hyper-heuristics)
- (meta)heuristics to choose heuristics (e.g., selection hyper-heuristics, adaptive operator selection)
- self-adaptive (meta)heuristics
- reactive search
- software tools and frameworks
- performance prediction, performance robustness and scalability issues
We hope that you are interested in contributing to the stream. If you have any questions, or wish to organise a session, then please do not hesitate to contact us. Apologies, if you have received multiple copies of this announcement.
Best Wishes
Stream Organisers
