Call for Papers
Paper Format
Please prepare your paper in English using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) template, which is available here. Papers must be submitted in PDF.
Types of Submissions
When submitting a paper to LION15, authors are required to select one of the following three types of papers:

Long paper: original novel and unpublished work (max. 15 pages in LNCS format);
Short paper: an extended abstract of novel work (max. 6 pages in LNCS format);
Work for oral presentation only (no page restriction; any format). For example, work already published elsewhere, which is relevant and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference.

Topics of Interest
LION15 welcomes high quality submissions on the broad topics of machine learning, artificial intelligence, energy, mathematical programming, optimization (models, algorithms and applications) and heuristics. Additionally, more specialized, submission topics for long and short papers may include, but are not limited to:

automatic solver configuration
parallel methods for search and optimization
hard combinatorial optimization problems
intelligent optimization in health, e-health, bioinformatics and neurosciences
machine learning and optimization methods in tourism and hospitality
nature-inspired algorithCall for Papers
