Computational Optimization, Modelling and Simulation (COMS 2011)

Tsukuba, Japan, June 1 - June 3, 2011

The workshop "Computational Optimization, Modelling and Simulation (COMS 2011)''
will be a part of the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2011).
This will be a second event of the COMS workshop series with the first held
during ICCS 2010 in Amsterdam. COMS 2011 intends to provide a forum and foster
discussion on the cross-disciplinary research and development in
computational optimization, computer modeling and simulations.
It will focus on new optimization algorithms, new trends, and
latest developments in numerical techniques as well as application studies
of optimization in science, engineering and industry.

A post-conference special issue of the international journal:
"Computational Optimization and Applications"
(http://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/10589 )
will be published from selected high-quality submissions.

Topics include (but not limited to):
· Computational optimization, engineering optimization and design
· Bio-inspired computing and metaheuristic algorithms
· Simulation-driven design and optimization of computationally expensive objectives
· Surrogate- and knowledge-based optimization algorithms
· Scheduling and network optimization
· Integrated approach to optimization and simulation
· Multiobjective optimization
· New optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization
· Design of experiments
· Application case studies in engineering and industry.

Scientific Program Committee:
· D. Echeverría, Stanford University, USA
· Z. W. Geem, IGlobal University, USA
· G.A. Gray, Sandia National Labs, USA
· O. Kolb, Technical University Darmstadt, Germany
· R. S. Parpinelli, University of Santa Catarina State, Brazil
· B. Protas, McMaster University, Canada
· J. Sklenar, University of Malta, Malta
· L. Wright, National Physical Laboratory, UK
· Q. J. Zhang, Carleton University, Canada

Authors wishing to have their contribution considered for the
workshop should submit the paper before January 25, 2011,
using the online submission system of the ICCS 2011 conference
(select "Computational Optimization, Modeling and Simulation (COMS 2011)"
in the "Workshop" field). Information about paper format and submission
procedure can be found on the conference website at
