MESS 2020 is aimed at qualified and strongly motivated MSc and PhD
students; post-docs; young researchers, and both academic and
industrial professionals to provide an overview on the several
metaheuristics techniques, and an in-depth analysis of the
state-of-the-art. The main theme of the 2020 edition is ?Learning and
Optimization from Big Data?, therefore MESS 2020 wants to focus on (i)
Learning for Metaheuristics; (ii) Optimization in Machine Learning;
and (iii) how Optimization and Learning affect the Metaheuristics
making them relevant in handling Big Data.

Deadline for all applications: 15 March 2020
SPECIES, the Society for the Promotion of Evolutionary Computation in Europe
and its Surroundings, is proud to announce the launch of a number of
scholarships for PhD students to spend three months at a hosting institution,
working under the supervision of an advisor.
The selected students will receive an allowance of 900 euros per month to cover
accommodation and living expenses.
The host institution may provide funds to cover up to three additional months,
and any other advantage they wish to offer (e.g., travel funds).
Applicants will be selected based on merit by a committee designated by the
SPECIES Executive Board. Students and host institutions will be matched
following preferences indicated by both sides (at most one student per host
institution).
We are inviting worldwide applications for both, PhD students and host
institutions. More information including conditions of the scholarships and
details on how to apply can be found on the SPECIES website:

META is one of the main event focusing on the progress of the area of
metaheuristics and their applications.
META'2020 welcomes presentations that cover any aspects of metaheuristic
research such as new algorithmic developments, high-impact applications,
new research challenges, theoretical developments, implementation
issues, and in-depth experimental studies. META'2020 strives for a
high-quality program that will be completed by a number of invited
talks, tutorials, workshops and special sessions.
The scope of the META’2020 conference includes, but is not limited to:
* Local search, tabu search, simulated annealing, VNS, ILS, …
* Evolutionary algorithms, swarm optimization, bio-inspired
algorithms, …
* Emergent nature inspired algorithms: quantum computing,
artificial immune systems, bee colony, DNA computing, …
* Quantum computing
* Parallel and distributed algorithms
* Hybrid methods with machine learning, game theory, mathematical
programming, constraint programming, co-evolutionary, …
* Application to: logistics and transportation, networks,
scheduling, data mining, engineering design, energy, cloud, bio-medical, …
* Theory of metaheuristics, landscape analysis, convergence,
problem difficulty, very large neighbourhoods, …
* Multi-objective optimization, bi-level optimization
* Dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty, …
* Parameter tuning (static, dynamic, adaptive, self-adaptive)
* Hyper-heuristics, cross-domain metaheuristics
* Software frameworks for metaheuristics and nature inspired computing
