The XII International Conference "Optimization and Applications" (OPTIMA-2021) will take place in Petrovac, Montenegro on September 27 - October 1, 2021.

For those who will not be able to come to Montenegro this year, an online session will be organized.

The goal of the Conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of optimization theory, methods, software, and related areas. The official working languages of the Conference are English, Russian, and Montenegrin.

A first part of the OPTIMA-2021 proceedings was published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 13078). Springer. Also, it is part of the Theoretical Computer Science and General Issues book sub series (LNTCS, volume 13078).

OPTIMA-2021 participants are entitled to get free access via the http-referral from the conference website to their publication Optimization and Applications (LNCS, volume 13078) until the mid of December 2021.

LNCS 13078 is now available online and can be accessed at http://link.springer.com/openurl.asp?genre=issue&issn=0302-9743&volume=13078
