Aims & Scope

The HM Workshops are intended to be an international forum for
researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental
evaluation of metaheuristics. Metaheuristics, such as simulated
annealing, evolutionary algorithms, tabu search, ant colony
optimization, scatter search and iterated local search, are
considered state-of-the-art methods for many problems. In
recent years, however, it has become evident that the
concentration on a sole metaheuristic is rather restrictive. A
skilled combination of concepts from different optimization
techniques can provide a more efficient behavior and a higher
flexibility when dealing with real-world and large-scale
problems.

Hybrid Metaheuristics are such techniques for optimization that
combine different metaheuristics or integrate AI/OR techniques
into metaheuristics. Previously organized Workshops were held
in Ischia Island (HM 2013), Vienna (HM 2010), Udine (HM 2009),
Malaga (HM 2008), Dortmund (HM 2007), Gran Canaria (HM 2006),
Barcelona (HM 2005), and Val?ncia (HM 2004).

HM2014 is organized as a non-profit event.

************************************************************************

Topics of Interest

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but
not limited to:

- Novel combinations of components from different metaheuristics
- Hybridization of metaheuristics and AI/OR techniques
- Low-level hybridization
- High-level hybridization, portfolio techniques, expert systems
- Cooperative search
- Automated parameter tuning
- Empirical and statistical comparison
- Theoretical aspects of hybridization
- Parallelization
- Software libraries

************************************************************************

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit a full paper describing original,
unpublished research with at most 15 pages (in LNCS style).
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an
appendix to be read by the program committee members at their
discretion.

Electronic submissions should be formatted in pdf. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences or workshops with published
proceedings is not allowed.

The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS series.

******************************
WG 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS
40th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science

June 25-27, Domaine de Chal?s near Orl?ans, France
http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/evenements/WG2014/

submissions on https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wg2014
******************************

The WG 2014 conference is the 40th edition of the WG series. It will take place in the region of the wonderful castles at the Loire, near Orl?ans. The conference will be from the 25th to the 27th of June 2014, with participants expected to arrive in Orl?ans on the 24th of June.

AIMS AND SCOPE
***************
WG conferences aim to connect theory and applications by demonstrating how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of computer science. The goal is to present recent results and to identify and explore directions for future research. Submitted papers should describe original results in any aspects of graph theory related to computer science, including but not restricted to:
- design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized, parameterized and distributed graph and network algorithms,
- structural graph theory with algorithmic or complexity applications,
- computational complexity of graph and network problems,
- graph grammars, graph rewriting systems and graph modeling,
- graph drawing and layouts,
- computational geometry,
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks, and
- support of these concepts by suitable implementations and applications.

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
***************
Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12 pages Springer LNCS format including title, abstract and references. Proofs omitted due to space restrictions must be placed in an appendix, to be read by program committee members at their discretion. Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with published proceedings or submitting papers previously accepted for journal publication is not allowed. Authors are encouraged to post full versions of their submissions in a freely accessible repository such as the arXiv or ECCC.

Invited papers and accepted contributions will be published in the conference proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag.

WG 2014 offers an award for the best paper written by students only. Three papers selected by the PC will be invited to contribute to a special section in Algorithmica.
