The submission of abstracts for the OPTIMA-2025 optimization conference is open until July 1

The XVI International Conference OPTIMA 2025 will take place from September 22 to 26, 2025, in Petrovac (Budva, Montenegro). The event will be held in a hybrid format — an online session will be available for participants unable to attend in person. The official languages of the conference are English, Russian, and Montenegrin. The conference is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Academician Milojica Jacimovic

Abstracts and full papers must be submitted strictly by July 1. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by August 1.

The conference brings together researchers and practitioners working in optimization theory, computational methods, software development, and related areas. Topics include:

— Mathematical Programming

— Global Optimization

— Nondifferential Optimization

— Continuous Optimization

— Multicriteria Optimization

— Equilibrium Programming

— Game Theory

— Optimal Control

— Optimization Software

— Optimization in Data Analysis

— Computational Optimization

— Optimization in Economics and Finance

— Applications of Optimization in Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering, Data and Information Mining, Biology, Medicine, etc.

Papers from other fields related to optimization are also welcome.

The first part of the OPTIMA-2025 proceedings (Optimization and Applications) will be published in main volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, Springer).

The second part of the OPTIMA-2025 proceedings (Advances in Optimization and Applications) we plan to publish in supplementary volume of the Communications in Computer and Information Science book series (CCIS, Springer).

Detailed author instructions are available on the Springer website. More information about the conference can be found on the official website.
