Synopsis: The book is a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the Workshops on Computational Optimization 2022. Our everyday life is unthinkable without optimization. We try to minimize our effort and to maximize the achieved profit. Many real world and industrial problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine, and other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks. This book presents recent advances in computational optimization. The book includes important real problems like modeling of physical processes, parameter settings for controlling different processes, agricultural modeling transportation problems, energy management, machine scheduling, air pollution modeling, optimization of fast-food restaurant chain, and solving engineering and financial problems. It shows how to develop algorithms for them based on new intelligent methods like evolutionary computations, ant colony optimization, constrain programming Monte Carlo method, and others. This book demonstrates how some real-world problems arising in engineering, economics, and other domains can be formulated as optimization problems.
