Call For Papers
The International Conference on Computational Optimization (ICOMP) will be held in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, in October 2025, and is planned to be an in-person conference with virtual elements. Dates of the conference will be announced shortly.

We invite submissions of papers on all topics related to optimization. All papers will be reviewed in a double-blind process and accepted papers will be presented at the conference. Papers need to be prepared and submitted as a single file: 9 pages as main paper, with unlimited pages for references and appendix.


There will be no separate deadline for the submission of supplementary material. In addition, we require that, barring exceptional circumstances (such as visa problems) upon the acceptance of their papers, at least one of the authors must attend the conference, in person.

Topics of interest:
  • Efficient training and inference methods
  • IoT
  • Edge Computing
  • Novel architectures
  • Machine Learning with new compute paradigms (optical, quantum, etc.)
  • Data and model compression
  • Optimization for Neural Networks
  • Dimensionality Reduction
  • Feature Selection
  • Large Scale, Parallel, and Distributed Algorithms
  • Model Selection
  • Online Learning
  • Software Packages
  • Computational Learning Theory
  • Optimization for Representation Learning
  • Implementation issues
  • Efficient and scalable vision
  • Transfer/ low-shot/ continual/ long-tail/ learning
  • Infrastructure (e.g., libraries, improved implementation and scalability, distributed solutions)
  • Applications in any field
Abstracts and papers can be submitted through OpenReview

As noted above, this year, ICOMP will use a single paper submission deadline with a single review cycle, as follows:

  • June 1 – Submissions open
  • Aug 15 – Full paper submission deadline

Style Files and an Example Paper. Submitted papers that do not conform to these policies will be rejected without review. Authors are kindly asked to make their submissions as accessible as possible for everyone including people with disabilities and sensory or neurological differences.
