Submission deadline | April 13, 2022 |
The PPSN 2022 conference will be held in Dortmund (Germany) on 10–14 September 2022. The workshops, tutorials and conference will be held “on-site” only. The participants should take this into account in their planning. The local organizers will provide an adequate room and technical equipment for local presentations. A hybrid format is not planned. In case of pandemic-caused restrictions, the event will have to switch to a full online format.
PPSN was originally designed to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of Natural Computing, the study of computing approaches which are gleaned from natural models. Today, the conference series has evolved and welcomes works on all types of iterative optimization heuristics. Notably, we also welcome submissions on connections between search heuristics and machine learning or other artificial intelligence approaches.
Submissions covering the entire spectrum of work, ranging from rigorously derived mathematical results to carefully crafted empirical studies, are invited.
Following PPSN’s unique tradition, all accepted papers will be presented during poster sessions and will be included in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer.
