Questionnaire on Real-World Optimization Problems

[Vanessa Volz]

Have you been working on a real-world optimization problem? Help us understand its properties and peculiarities by answering this questionnaire: https://tinyurl.com/opt-survey

We would like to learn more about the challenges of real-world optimization problems in order to align research in Evolutionary Computation (EC) more closely to the problems faced by practitioners. By participating in the questionnaire, you will enable the EC research community to develop benchmarks and algorithms that are more useful for your kind of problem. The outcomes of the questionnaire (available from https://sites.google.com/view/macoda-rwp) will also give you an overview of the types of problems your colleagues face. You can fill in the questionnaire anonymously or be acknowledged for your collaboration.

Thank you for participating,
The MACODA* working group on real-world optimization problems
