Black-Box-Optimization Benchmarking (BBOB) methodology
introduced by the long-standing and successful BBOB-GECCO
workshops series has become a well-established standard for
quantifying and comparing the performance of optimization
algorithms for continuous optimization. The aim of this
workshop is to develop a similar standard methodology for
the benchmarking of black-box optimization algorithms for
discrete and combinatorial domains. We want to produce:</span></p>

style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">This second instalment
of the new BB-DOB workshop series focuses on a debate
regarding which functions should be included in the
benchmarking testbed. These benchmark functions should
capture the difficulties of combinatorial optimization
problems in practice, but at the same time be comprehensible
so that the resulting algorithm behaviors can be understood
or interpreted. In this way, the mutual advantages and
disadvantages of algorithms can be analyzed in depth.
Gaining such insights is vital for the design of improved
algorithms. The sought benchmark functions should ideally be
scalable with the problem size and non-trivial in the
black-box optimization sense, i.e., allow for shifting the
optimum to any point. This workshop wants to provide a
common forum to bring together experts on benchmarking of
optimization algorithms. Interested participants are
encouraged to submit papers related to black-box
optimization benchmarking of discrete optimizers in the
widest sense. In particular if they suggest,</span></p>
