[Event at CIG] [PPSN 2026] Call for Papers, Tutorials, and Workshops | Trento, Italy | August 29 - September 2

[Jessica Mégane]

Dear Colleague(s),

The 19th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving From Nature (PPSN) will be held in Trento, Italy, from August 29 to September 2. PPSN is a biannual open forum on the study of natural models, iterative optimization heuristics, machine learning, and other artificial intelligence approaches.

Originally designed to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of Natural Computing, PPSN has evolved and welcomes works on all types of iterative optimization heuristics, including connections between search heuristics and machine learning. We invite submissions covering the full spectrum of work, ranging from rigorously derived mathematical results to carefully crafted empirical studies.

The deadline for workshop and tutorial proposals is approaching:

Workshop proposal deadline: February 8, 2026
Tutorial proposal deadline: February 8, 2026
Paper submission deadline: March 28, 2026
