2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Scheduling
at IEEE SSCI 2013
with 14 Keynotes & 25 Special Sessions (planned) in Singapore

15-19 April 2013, Singapore

The 2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Scheduling (CI-Sched 2013) invites research on all aspects of computational intelligence applied to scheduling problems. Due to their huge search spaces that have to be explored, scheduling problems cannot usually be solved by exact approaches. Therefore, significant research attention has been attracted on exploring techniques in Computational Intelligence (including evolutionary computation, neural networks, swarm intelligence, fuzzy logic, and their hybridizations, etc.). This symposium aims to explore recent advances in this area.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Computational Intelligence in:
- Production Scheduling
- Personnel Scheduling
- Sports Scheduling
- Educational Timetabling
- Commercial Scheduling packages
- Transport Scheduling
- Other scheduling problems
- Complexity Issues in scheduling
- Comparison of Techniques (e.g. compare Neural Networks with Fuzzy Logic; comparison of a meta-heuristic approach with a CI approach)
- Interactive Scheduling using Computational Intelligence
- Experiences of CI within Scheduling
- Case Studies
- Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms and representations for scheduling

Important Dates:
Paper submission: 23 Nov 2012
Decision: 05 Jan 2013
Final submission: 05 Feb 2013
Early Registration: 05 Feb 2013

Symposium Chairs:
Rong Qu, University of Nottingham, UK
Ling Wang, Tsinghua University, China
Quanke Pan, Liaocheng University, China
