The Black-Box Discrete Optimization Benchmarking Workshop (BB-DOB@PPSN) has just been accepted to be a part of the Fifteenth International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN XV), September 8-12, 2018, in Coimbra, Portugal: http://ppsn2018.dei.uc.pt/).
The Black-Box-Optimization Benchmarking (BBOB) methodology introduced by the long-standing and successful BBOB-GECCO workshops series has become a well-established standard for benchmarking continuous optimization algorithms. The aim of workshop is to develop a similar standard methodology for the benchmarking of black-box optimization algorithms for discrete and combinatorial domains. The goal of this second edition of the BB-DOB workshop series is to define a suitable set of benchmark functions for discrete and combinatorial optimization problems.
Our workshop is cordially inviting the submission of original and unpublished research papers. Here you can download the BB-DOB@PPSN Workshop Call for Papers (CfP) in PDF format and here as plain text file. The deadline for workshop submissions will be June 26, 2018.
Disclaimer: Two BB-DOB workshops will take place in 2018, i.e., the first edition as BB-DOB@GECCO and the second edition as BB-DOB@PPSN. Both are independent events of the same series.
