Matheuristics 2016
---
Sixth International Workshop on Model-based Metaheuristics
4-7 September, 2016. Brussels, Belgium
More details and up-to-date information at
iridia.ulb.ac.be/matheuristics2016
Scope of the Workshop
======================
The Matheuristics workshop series is proposed as a primary forum for
researchers working on exploiting mathematical programming techniques
in a (meta)heuristic framework, granting to mathematical programming
approaches the problem robustness and time effectiveness that
characterize heuristics, or exploiting the mathematical programming
model formulation in the customization of a heuristic for specific or
general problems.
Metaheuristics such as tabu search, simulated annealing, GRASP, VNS,
genetic algorithms and ant colonies, have been originally proposed and
developed when the available Mixed Integer Programming (MIP)
algorithms and software or Constraint Programming methods were not an
efficient or even feasible alternative for solving real-world problem
instances, or significant subproblems thereof.
However, research on mathematical programming, and in particular on
discrete optimization, has led to a state of the art where MIP solvers
or customized MIP codes can be effective even in a heuristic context,
both as primary solvers or as subprocedures.
Matheuristics 2016 aims at collecting contributions that define the
state of the art for the computational effectiveness and efficiency or
the theoretical properties of matheuristics, which are algorithms
and codes that integrate metaheuristics and MIP strategies and
software. The workshop will be entirely devoted to this subject of
research and its applications. The conference program will consist of
plenary presentations, enriched by a couple of keynote or tutorial
lectures. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Model-based metaheuristics,
- Hybridizing (meta)heuristics and exact methods,
- MIP techniques used for defining heuristic solvers (such as local branching and RINS),
- Problem relaxations to guide (heuristic) search,
- Information from exact algorithms to develop heuristics,
- Decompositions and lower/upper bounds in matheuristic codes,
- Stochastic programming and heuristic search,
- Metaheuristics for stochastic problems,
- Design and configuration of matheuristic algorithms,
- Experimental analysis and modeling of algorithms,
- Real world case histories of matheuristic applications, and
- Automatic configuration of matheuristics and algorithm selection among others.
Although we do not discard their importance, Matheuristics 2016 is not
interested in heuristics tailored to a specific problem that have no
element which can be generalized to other problems (no matter how
mathematically sophisticated they are) nor in metaheuristics variants
or implementations that are not justified by a mathematical model.
Submission Instructions
========================
Submissions to Matheuristics 2016 should be comprehensive and self-contained,
and relevant to the topic of the workshop.
Submissions can be done in one of two categories:
* Contributed article of up to 12 pages. These will be distributed in
informal proceedings for the workshop.

high-quality conferences) and is relevant for the workshop for oral
presentation only (free format).
The submission site is open and submissions can be done at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=matheuristics2016
Publication Details
====================
The workshop will have informal proceedings that are distributed
through the Matheuristics 2016 webpage. The post-conference
publication will happen through a special issue in the journal
International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR).
Further Information
====================
Up-to-date information will be published on the web site
iridia.ulb.ac.be/matheuristics2016. For information about local
arrangements, registration forms, etc., please refer to the
