SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of areas including engineering design, telecommunications, logistics, biology, etc., have been modeled and tackled successfully with optimization approaches. These approaches fall into two major categories: meta-heuristics (evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm, ant or bee colonies, simulated annealing, Tabu search, etc.) and exact methods (Branch-and-X, dynamic programming, etc.).
Nowadays, optimization problems become increasingly large and complex, forcing the use of parallel computing for their efficient and effective resolution. On the other hand, multi and many-core computing (e.g. GPU, FPGA) has recently undergone a significant evolution with the emergence of new high performance computing environments. Indeed, multi and many-core computing are provided in laptops, high performance workstations, clusters, grids, and clouds.
The design and implementation of parallel optimization methods raise several issues related to the characteristics of these methods and those of the new hardware execution environments at the same time. This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for the researchers to present their original contributions on the joint use of advanced (discrete or continuous, single or multi-objective, static or dynamic, deterministic or stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and distributed and/or parallel multi/many-core computing, and any related issues.
The POMM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Parallel models for optimization methods
Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of optimization methods
Redesign of parallel real or simulation-based optimization algorithms
Implementation issues of parallel optimization algorithms
Parallel-aware frameworks for parallel optimization techniques
Computational studies reporting results for hard and challenging optimization problems
Issues and novel approaches and experiments in parallel solving real-world applications
Theory and performance metrics for parallel optimization
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to Parallel Computing for Simulation and Optimization. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column IEEE formatted pages, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s). Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and poster (please refer to http://hpcs2015.cisedu.info/home/cts-2015-posters for posters submission details) will also be accepted. Please specify the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.
Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript using the Workshop Easy Chair link at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pomm2015. Submissions will be acknowledged within 48 hours.
Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the link above. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and attend the HPCS 2015 conference to present the paper at the workshop.
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2015 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly (e.g., EI indexing).
If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the workshop organizers.
