/*Aims and Topics*/
This special issue aims to bring together the latest research advances
in investigating and understanding algorithms in evolutionary
computation for solving a wide range of scheduling problems. We invite
papers representing high quality research which reflects the recent
advances of evolutionary computation in scheduling and demonstrates
state-of-the-art theory and practice in this area.
Please note that work on simple applications of evolutionary algorithms,
without fundamental investigations on the theory of evolutionary
computation in scheduling, will not be considered for this special
issue. We will also not accept papers that use computational
intelligence methods lacking any evolutionary computation component.
Authors are encouraged to submit their original work on the following
(but not limited to) topics:
- Evolutionary computation in:
* Production scheduling
* Personnel scheduling
* Sports scheduling
* Educational timetabling
* Project scheduling
* Transportation scheduling
* Dynamic scheduling and rescheduling
* Other scheduling problems
- Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms in
scheduling
- Representation issues in evolutionary scheduling
- Complexity issues of evolutionary algorithms in scheduling
- Comparison and integration of other techniques with evolutionary
approaches in scheduling. Integrations with cross-discipline techniques
including exact methods, meta-heuristics, computational intelligence and
decision support methodologies, etc, are strongly encouraged.
- Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in scheduling
- Adaptive evolutionary algorithms in scheduling
- Cooperative search of evolutionary algorithms in scheduling
- Parallel distributed processing / frameworks in scheduling
