ICOMP 2024
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL OPTIMIZATION

October 10–12 / Innopolis, Russia
Call For Papers

The 1st International Conference on Computational Optimization (ICOMP 2024) will be held in Innopolis, Russian Federation October 10–12, 2024, and is planned to be an in person conference with virtual elements.


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.


Featured proceedings of the ICOMP2024 might be published in special issues of the following journals:

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:

  • May 1 – Submissions open
  • Aug 4 – 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.


Double submission is available.
