The deadline for submission of results and codes was 30-03-2017. All interested participants were encouraged to send an email to by 30-01-2017, indicating their names, affiliation, and the algorithm to be used. It was indicated that the first three ranked algorithms will be selected for presentation at the panel, for which only PowerPoint presentations are required. The call for competition was made on 14-01-2017. They are only allowed to improve the methodological framework of their algorithms. Developers: Zita Vale and João Soares (Institute of Engineering – Polytechnic of Porto)īesides, the panel presented the results and a comparative evaluation concerning the performance of different modern heuristic optimization algorithms, which are developed by different researchers worldwide. Researchers are challenged to solve the benchmarks, which are treated as black-box problems.
