The International Conference in Optimization and Learning (OLA2020) focuses on the future challenges of optimization and learning methods and their applications.

OLA2020 will provide an opportunity to the international research community in optimization and learning to discuss recent research results and to develop new ideas and collaborations in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. OLA2020 welcomes presentations that cover any aspects of optimization and learning research such as new high-impact applications, parameter tuning, 4th industrial revolution, new research challenges, hybridization issues, optimization-simulation, meta-modeling, high-performance and exascale computing, surrogate modeling, multi-objective optimization, optimization for machine learning, machine learning for optimization, optimization and learning under uncertainty, et cetera.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings that will be available at the conference. Additionally, best accepted papers will be published in a Springer volume of Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series. Several Journal Special Issues are planned after OLA2020:
-) Applied Soft Computing (Elsevier) IF 4,873
-) Applied Sciences (MDPI) IF 2,217
-) Algorithms (MDPI)

The previous iteration of this conference was held in January 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand.
