Participation in the SYM-OP-IS 2026 Conference

Colleagues from the Department of Numerical Mathematics and Optimization participated in the SYM-OP-IS 2026 conference, where they presented the results of research in which a metaheuristic method assisted by a machine learning algorithm was applied to solve the NP-hard p-next center problem.

The authors of the paper are Kristina Ivanović, Jelena Tasić, Zorica Stanimirović and Zorica Dražić.

We are proud of our colleagues and of yet another successful participation of the Department in a scientific conference!
