This special issue will provide an opportunity to the international research community in opti-

mization and machine learning to publish recent research results in the application of machine

learning approaches to optimization methodologies (e.g. metaheuristics, mathematical program-

ming, constraint programming, exact algorithms, heuristics).

This special issue welcomes papers that cover any aspects of the application of machine learning

to optimization such as parameter tuning, hybridization, optimization-simulation, meta-modeling,

algorithm configuration, surrogate modeling, real-life applications, high-performance computing,

multi-objective optimization.

The deadline for submissions is May 31, 2018.

Although we strongly encourage submissions from authors that will present their work in the

OLA’2018 International Workshop on Optimization and Learning, which will be held in Alicante,

Spain, from February 26 to 28, 2018, this Call for Papers is also open to and welcomes submissions

from the entire community of academics and practitioners.

Each paper will be peer-reviewedaccording to the editorial policy of the International Transactions

in Operational Research(ITOR), published by the International Federation of OperationalResearch

Societies (IFORS). Papers should be original, unpublished, and not currently under consideration

for publicationelsewhere. They should be prepared according to the instructions to authors that can

be found on the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions using the submission

site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itor, indicating in their cover letter that the paper is intended

for this special issue. Other inquiries should be sent directly to either of the Guest Editors in charge

of this issue: El-Ghazali Talbi (el-ghazali.talbi@univ-lille1.fr) and Celso Ribeiro (celso@ic.uff.br).
