Call for Papers Workshop PCO'13 

Parallel Computing and Optimization 

http://conf.laas.fr/PCO13/ 

to be held in conjunction with IEEE IPDPS, Boston, USA, May 24, 2013 

http://www.ipdps.org 

Paper Submission Deadline: January 4, 2013.

Scope of the Workshop: 

The workshop on Parallel Computing and Optimization aims at providing a 
forum for scientific researchers 
and engineers on recent advances in the field of parallel or distributed 
computing for difficult combinatorial optimization 
problems, like 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problems and cutting stock 
problems, large scale linear programming 
problems, nonlinear optimization problems and global optimization 
problems. Emphasis will be placed on new techniques 
for the solution of these difficult problems like cooperative methods 
for integer programming problems and polynomial 
optimization methods. Aspects related to Combinatorial Scientific 
Computing (CSC) will also be treated. Finally, the 
use of new approaches in parallel computing like GPU or hybrid 
computing, peer to peer computing and cloud computing 
will be considered. Application to planning, logistics, manufacturing, 
finance, telecommunications and computational biology 
will be considered. 

Topics: 
* Integer programming, linear programming, nonlinear programming. 
* Global optimization, polynomial optimization. 
* Exact methods, heuristics 
* Graph partitioning, preconditioning, Combinatorial Scientific Computing, 
* Parallel algorithms for combinatorial optimization. 
* Parallel metaheuristics. 
* Distributed optimization algorithms. 
* Hybrid computing and the solution of optimization problems. 
* Peer-to-peer computing and optimization problems. 
* Applications: planning, logistics, manufacturing, finance, 
telecommunications, computational biology, 
combinatorial algorithms in high performance computing.
