This volume collects the accepted papers presented at the Learning
and Intelligent OptimizatioN conference (LION 2007 II) held
December 8-12, 2007, in Trento, Italy. The motivation for the
meeting is related to the current explosion in the number and
variety of heuristic algorithms for hard optimization problems,
which raises - merous interesting and challenging issues.
Practitioners are confronted with the b- den of selecting the most
appropriate method, in many cases through an expensive algorithm
configuration and parameter-tuning process, and subject to a steep
learning curve. Scientists seek theoretical insights and demand a
sound experimental meth- ology for evaluating algorithms and
assessing strengths and weaknesses. A necessary prerequisite for
this effort is a clear separation between the algorithm and the
expe- menter, who, in too many cases, is "in the loop" as a crucial
intelligent learning c- ponent. Both issues are related to
designing and engineering ways of "learning" about the performance
of different techniques, and ways of using memory about algorithm
behavior in the past to improve performance in the future.
Intelligent learning schemes for mining the knowledge obtained from
different runs or during a single run can - prove the algorithm
development and design process and simplify the applications of
high-performance optimization methods. Combinations of algorithms
can further improve the robustness and performance of the
individual components provided that sufficient knowledge of the
relationship between problem instance characteristics and algorithm
performance is obtained.
