What is MIC?

MIC is the main event focusing on the progress of the area of 
metaheuristics and their applications. MIC provides an opportunity to 
the international research community in metaheuristics to discuss recent 
research results, to develop new ideas and collaborations, and to meet 
old and make new friends in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. MIC has a 
long tradition in the metaheuristics community that dates back to the 
first MIC held in Breckenridge, Colorado (USA, 1995). Since then, MIC 
has been held in Sophia-Antipolis (France, 1997), Angra dos Reis 
(Brazil, 1999), Porto (Portugal, 2001), Kyoto (Japan, 2003), Vienna 
(Austria, 2005), Montréal (Canada, 2007), Hamburg (Germany, 2009), Udine 
(Italy, 2011), Singapur (Singapur, 2013), Agadir (Morocco, 2015), and 
Barcelona (Spain, 2017).

Topics

MIC welcomes presentations covering all aspects of metaheuristic 
research in five broad topics: 1) techniques; 2) empirical and 
theoretical research; 3) novel industrial applications; 4) interfaces of 
metaheuristics; and 5) challenging new problems.

1) Techniques. This category includes research on algorithmic frameworks 
such as tabu search, simulated annealing, iterated local search, 
variable neighborhood search, bio-inspired algorithms, memory-based 
optimization, evolutionary algorithms, memetic algorithms, ant colony 
optimization, particle swarm optimization, scatter search, path 
relinking, hybrid metaheuristics, simheuristics, and matheuristics, 
among others. Equally welcome is research that enhances the usability 
and increases the potential of metaheuristic algorithms such as 
parallelization of algorithms, reactive search mechanisms for 
self-tuning, offline metaheuristic algorithm configuration techniques, 
algorithm portfolios, among others.

2) Empirical and Theoretical Research. This category welcomes research 
on large-scale experimental analyses, algorithm comparisons, new 
experimental methodologies, engineering methodologies for stochastic 
local search algorithms, search space analysis, theoretical insights 
into properties of metaheuristic algorithms, among other provoking ideas.

3) Industrial Applications. We welcome novel and real applications with 
strong impact in fields such as transportation, healthcare, 
bioinformatics, energy systems, analytics, big data, data mining, 
planning and scheduling, production and operations management, finance 
and economics, marketing, telecommunications, logistics and supply 
chain, agriculture, among other fields.

4) Interface of Metaheuristics. Metaheuristics have proven useful at the 
interface with other disciplines, such as agent-based models, integer 
programming (matheuristics), constraint programming, machine learning, 
and deep learning, among other domains.

5) Challenging New Problems. New problems continuously evolve and we are 
looking for their connections with metaheuristics. For instance, new 
problems are rising in the fields of big data, machine learning, 
analytics, and transportation and logistics, just to cite a few.

Paper Submissions

Authors are encouraged to submit unpublished and outstanding original 
contributions in one of the above topics (1) Techniques, (2) Empirical 
and Theoretical Research, (3) Industrial Applications, (4) Interface of 
Metaheuristics, and (5) Challenging New Problems. Submissions are 
electronic, in PDF format, using the easychair system.

S1)Extended abstracts of work-in-progress of maximum 3 pages

S2)High-quality manuscripts that have been recently submitted or 
accepted in a journal (within the last six months)

All submissions will be peer reviewed. All submitted papers must follow 
the submission guidelines outlined below. Accepted contributions of 
categories S1 will be published in the MIC 2019 conference proceedings. 
Accepted contributions of category S2 will be orally presented at the 
conference, but not included into the conference proceedings.

Submission Guidelines

Authors can submit papers either to the open or the invited sessions. 
For the latter, authors should specify the session where they have been 
invited to contribute. All papers must be formatted according to the 
guidelines using the electronic templates (LaTeX and Microsoft Word) 
available at the conference site. Submissions are electronic, in PDF 
format, using the easychair system 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mic2019.

At least one author of each accepted contribution is required to 
register and attend the conference to present their work, otherwise 
their paper will be withdrawn. Authors will be required to agree to this 
requirement at the time of submission.  MIC accepts only one 
presentation per registered author.

Special Issue

After the conference, we will publish an Special Issue on Metaheuristics 
in the International Transactions in Operational Research 
<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14753995>(ITOR) edited by Celso 
Ribeiro. We will invite the best work presented at MIC2019 to submit 
extended papers to the special issue. This call will also be open to the 
whole metaheuristics community. ITOR stats: impact factor: 2.4; ISI 
Journal Citation Reports Ranking 2017,21/83 in Operations Research & 
Management Science.
