Call for Papers

-------------------------------
*Workshop on Decomposition Techniques in Evolutionary Optimization (DTEO)*
-------------------------------
*Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO)*
<https://gecco-2025.sigevo.org/HomePage>
*July 14 - 18, 2025*
Venue - Málaga, Spain.
-------------------------------

Supported by IEEE CIS Task Force on Decomposition-based Techniques in
Evolutionary Computation <https://cola-laboratory.github.io/docs/misc/dtec/>

**** Overview and Scope*

Tackling an optimization problem using decomposition consists of
transforming (or re-modeling or re-thinking) it into multiple, a priori
smaller and easier, problems that can be solved cooperatively. A number of
techniques are being actively developed by the optimization and
evolutionary computing community in order to explicitly or implicitly
design decomposition with respect to four facets of an optimization
problem: (i) the environmental parameters, (ii) the decision variables,
(iii) the objective functions, and (iv) the available computing resources.
The workshop aims to be a unified opportunity to report the recent advances
in the design, analysis, and understanding decomposition techniques and to
discuss the current and future challenges in applying decomposition to the
increasingly big and complex nature of optimization problems (e.g., large
number of variables, large number of objectives, multi-modal problems,
simulation optimization, uncertain scenario-based optimization) and its
suitability to modern large scale compute environments (e.g., massively
parallel and decentralized algorithms, large scale divide-and-conquer
parallel algorithms, expensive optimization).

**** Topics of interest*

The workshop focus is on (but not limited to) the developmental,
implementational, theoretical, and applied aspects of:


   - Large-scale decomposition, e.g., decomposition in decision space,
   gray-box optimization, co-evolutionary algorithms, grouping and cooperative
   techniques, and decomposition for constraint handling.
   - Multi- and Many-objective decomposition, e.g., aggregation and
   scalarizing approaches, cooperative and hybrid island-based design,
   (sub-)population decomposition, and mapping.
   - Parallel and distributed evolutionary decomposition, e.g., scalability
   with respect to decision and objective spaces, divide-and-conquer
   decentralized techniques, distribution of compute efforts, and scalable
   deployments on heterogeneous and massively parallel computing environments.
   - General-purpose decomposition-related techniques include machine
   learning and model-assisted decomposition, offline and online configuration
   of decomposition, search-region decomposition, multiple surrogates, and
   parallel expensive optimization.
   - Understanding and benchmarking decomposition techniques.

**** Submission*
We invite submissions of the following types of papers:

   - Research papers (up to 8 pages)
   - Position papers (up to 2 pages)

Accepted submissions will be presented during the workshop and will appear
in the GECCO Companion ACM proceedings. The paper's format should follow
the *GECCO 2025* <https://gecco-2025.sigevo.org/HomePage> instructions.

Submissions of early and in-progress work are encouraged. Authors of
accepted papers proposing novel software developments will be encouraged to
give a demo or a short introductory tutorial. Authors of accepted papers
describing novel software or technical developments will be encouraged to
give a demonstration during the workshop.

**** Important Dates*

*Submission opening*: February 10, 2025
*Submission deadline*: March 26, 2025
*Acceptance notification*: April 28, 2025
*Camera-ready*: May 5, 2025
*Author's mandatory registration*: May 8, 2025

The submission procedure, deadlines, and paper format are the same as
the *GECCO
2025* leading conference. In particular, we recall that papers must be
submitted through the online *submission system
<https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/gecco/>* while selecting the DTEO
workshop under the list of *available workshops*
