The African Workshop on Machine Learning, Optimization and Applications (AWMOA2026) is dedicated to fostering research excellence and global competitiveness. As a premier forum for exploring Optimization Theory in the age of Artificial Intelligence, the workshop bridges the gap between rigorous theoretical proofs, algorithms  and high-impact  computational   applications. By integrating  Machine Learning with Optimization problems, AWMOA2026 aims to transform complex algorithms into interpretable, reliable frameworks designed to solve tangible industrial challenges.
