http://www.iccsa.org/) will be held on
July 1 - 4, 2020 in Cagliari, Italy.
TOPICS
======
The scope of the Workshop is to bring together scientists working
in Computational Optimization and its applications in science and
engineering.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Computational Optimization: new issues in computational
algorithms for continuous and discrete optimization; deterministic
and stochastic algorithms, nature-inspired algorithms and other
metaheuristic algorithms for solving optimization problems.
* Applications: case studies in all areas of sciences, engineering
and industry, including economics, medicine, biology, earth
sciences and social sciences.

Science), and several other indexing services. The papers will
contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers.
Submitted papers will be subject to stringent peer review by at
least three experts and carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
The authors can submit abstracts and papers to your session
accessing the electronic submission site:
http://ess.iccsa.org/
You can find the instructions to prepare and submit papers on the
web site (
http://www.iccsa.org/instructions-for-authors )
If you are not registered, you must to register before the
submission. From the personal page the author is able to submit
first an abstract (phase 1), then a full paper (phase 2),
selecting the session from the list of sessions in the submission
