Dear Colleagues, 

You are warmly welcome to the University of Jyvaskyla to attend the Future of Interactive Multiobjective Optimization Forum on June 19-20, 2023. 

If you are interested in the future of the field of interactive multiobjective optimization, interactive methods and software, challenges of various real applications in decision making, and tools for decision support, this event is for you! 

Please, come and share your thoughts and join the discussion on where we should take the field. The registration is open till May 30, 2023 at jyu.fi/desdeo23

The Forum consists of invited talks, panel discussions, contributed talks and presentations of DESDEO, the open-source software framework developed at the University of Jyvaskyla. We have updated information about the invited speakers and their abstracts at the event web site.

DESDEO contains implementations of many interactive multiobjective optimization methods, both scalarization-based and evolutionary ones. DESDEO can be used for research and teaching purposes. We provide further details of the modular structure and potential ways of utilizing DESDEO in tutorial sessions at the beginning of the Forum. 

The Forum also offers an opportunity for a hands-on experience of applying DESDEO in a bring-your-own-problem session. Please, can give some information about your problem in the registration form. 

There is also room for contributed talks: Submission of max ½-page abstracts of contributed talks is open till May 5, 2023. But if you are interested in submitting an abstract, please, inform us by email as soon as possible. 

The forum takes place during the time when the days are the longest in Finland, so come and enjoy this special season of the year.  

For further information, contact us at optim@jyu.fi.
