Dear colleagues,


This is the first call for participation and the call for special sessions for the 12th International Workshop on Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization (NEO 2025).

The NEO 2025 will be held in Tijuana, Baja California, from September 23 - 26, 2025.

Please find below further information on the event as well as on the call for special sessions. We are looking forward to welcome you at the NEO 2025 in September.

Scope and Topics
================

The goal of the Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization (NEO) workshop series is to bring together people from all optimization fields to discuss, compare and merge their complimentary perspectives. NEO encourages the development of fast and reliable hybrid methods that maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of each underlying paradigm, while also being applicable to a broader class of problems. Moreover, NEO fosters the understanding and adequate treatment of real-world problems, particularly in emerging fields that affect us.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

A) Search and Optimization:

  • Single and multi-objective optimization
  • Advances in evolutionary algorithms and genetic programming
  • Hybrid and memetic algorithms
  • Set oriented numerics
  • Stochastic optimization
  • Robust optimization

B) Real World Problems

  • Health systems
  • Computer vision and pattern recognition
  • Energy conservation and prediction
  • Modeling and control of real-world systems
  • Smart cities
  • Machine Learning in Robotics
Hybrid Event
============

The NEO 2025 will be held as a hybrid event, participants have the possibility to attend in person or virtually.


Invited Speakers
============

  • Jian-Qiao Sun, University of California, Merced, USA
  • Ryan J. Urbanowicz, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA
Publication
============

The NEO 2025 will accept abstracts that will be published in the book of abstracts of the event. Further, there is the possibility to publish substantially extended works in a special issue in Mathematical and Computational Applications (JCR, Q2).
