==========================================================
Hyper-heuristics have recently attracted an increasing research
attention in a wide range of disciplines including artificial
intelligence, operations research, engineering and computer science.
Researchers in hyper-heuristics aim to design and develop general
solvers for a range of problems rather than concerning dedicated
algorithms for specific problems or problem instances. Due to its
efficiency and generality in providing good enough, fast enough
solutions in solving various problems with less amount of tuning effort,
hyper-heuristics have been applied to a range of domains including
optimization functions, combinatorial optimization, as well as
scheduling, timetabling and planning.
This special session is being organized as an activity of the
Intelligent Systems Applications Technical Committee of the
Computational Intelligence Society at IEEE, and aims to bring together
advanced developments in both research and practice of hyper-heuristics
and widen the existing applications on various problems in education,
industry, engineering, management and business, etc. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
Applications:
- Bin packing
- Combinatorial optimization
- Engineering design
- Resource management
- Hybrid methods for scheduling problems
- Routing
- Scheduling, timetabling, planning
- Other real world problems
Theory:
- Theoretical or empirical analysis of hyper-heuristics
- Cooperative hyper-heuristics
- Multi-objective hyper-heuristics
- Hyper-heuristics in dynamic environments
- Parallel hyper-heuristics
- Benchmark problems and performance metrics in evaluation of -
hyper-heuristic
- Hybrid methods between hyper-heuristics and other computational
intelligence techniques
- Comparative studies of hyper-heuristics and other computational
intelligence techniques
