                               META'2023
International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired Computing
                             01-04 Nov 2023
                           Marrakech, Morocco

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

META is one of the main event focusing on the progress of the area of 
metaheuristics and their applications. As in previous editions, 
META’2023 will provide an opportunity to the international research 
community in metaheuristics to discuss recent research results, to 
develop new ideas and collaborations, and to meet old friends and make 
new ones in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

All selected long papers will be published in the Springer (SCOPUS, ISI, 
DBLP) conference proceedings.

META'2023 welcomes presentations that cover any aspects of metaheuristic 
research such as new algorithmic developments, high-impact applications, 
new research challenges, theoretical developments, implementation 
issues, and in-depth experimental studies. META'2023 strives for a 
high-quality program that will be completed by a number of invited 
talks, tutorials, workshops and special sessions.

The scope of the META conference includes, but is not limited to:
     * Local search, tabu search, simulated annealing, VNS, ILS, …
     * Evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, bio-inspired 
algorithms, …
     * Emergent nature inspired algorithms: artificial immune systems, 
bee colony, DNA computing, …
     * Quantum computing, neuromorphic computing
     * Parallel and distributed algorithms
     * Decomposition methods
     * Hybrid methods with machine learning, game theory, mathematical 
programming, constraint programming, co-evolutionary, …
     * Application to real-lide problems: logistics and transportation, 
networks, scheduling, data mining, engineering design, energy, cloud, 
bio-medical, …
     * Theory of metaheuristics, landscape analysis, convergence, 
problem difficulty, very large neighbourhoods, …
     * Multi-objective optimization, bi-level optimization
     * Dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty, stochastic 
optimization, robust optimization, …
     * Parameter tuning (static, dynamic, adaptive, self-adaptive)
     * Hyper-heuristics, cross-domain metaheuristics
     * Software frameworks for metaheuristics and nature inspired computing


Submission of papers:
____________________

- Submission of papers via the website

     S1) Short papers: Extended abstracts of work-in-progress and 
position papers of a maximum of 3 pages.
     S2) Long papers: Original research contributions of a maximum of 12 
pages.
     S3) Journal papers: High-quality manuscripts that have recently, 
within the last year, been submitted or accepted for journal 
publication. For this special case, the submission should have the same 
title that the accepted work, the abstract AND the complete reference of 
the work.
