IEEE Workshop on Parallel / Distributed Combinatorics and
Optimization aims at providing a forum for scientific
researchers and engineers on recent advances in the field of
parallel or distributed combinatorics for difficult optimization
problems, ranging from theoretical to applied problems. The
latter include for instance 0-1 multidimensional knapsack
problems and cutting stock problems, large scale linear
programming problems, nonlinear optimization problems, global
optimization and scheduling problems. </span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Emphasis
will be placed on new techniques for solving difficult
optimization problems, like cooperative methods for integer
programming problems, nature-inspired techniques and hybrid
methods. Aspects related to Combinatorial Scientific Computing
(CSC) will also be treated. We also solicit submissions of
original manuscripts on sparse matrix computations and related
topics (including graph algorithms); and related methods and
tools for their efficiency on different parallel systems.
Applications combining traditional parallel and distributed
combinatorics and optimization techniques as well as theoretical
issues (convergence, complexity, etc.) are welcome.</span></p>
