This is the last reminder for submssion to Matheuristics 2008, June 16-18, 2008, Bertinoro, Italy. Deadline, April 15. Building on the success of the first Matheuristics meeting (August, 2006), the Matheuristics 2008 workshop is proposed as a primary forum for researchers working either on exploiting mathematical programming (MP) techniques in a (meta)heuristic framework or on granting to mathematical programming approaches the cross-problem robustness and constrained-CPU-time effectiveness which characterize metaheuristics. Discriminating landmark is some form of exploitation of the mathematical formulation of the problems of interest. Metaheuristic algorithms and frameworks, such as tabu search, genetic algorithms, VNS, etc., were in fact usually proposed in years when Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) was seldom a viable option for solving real-world problem instances, or significant subproblems thereof. However, research on mathematical programming, and in particular on d...
