            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
