    LION16: The 16th Learning and Intelligent Optimization Conference

    June 5-10, 2022, Milos Island, Cyclades, Greece

    Conference website: https://lion16.sba-research.org/

    Paper submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lion16

    Submission deadline:    February 15, 2022

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

    Submission Guidelines
    ----------------------

    All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
    journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

         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 LION16, 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         Long paper: original novel and unpublished work (max. 15 pages in LNCS format);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.

    List of Topics
    --------------

    LION16 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
