[DMANET] CFP: Special Session on Evolutionary Computation in Scheduling and Combinatorial Optimization at IEEE CEC2013

Call for papers

Special Session on
Evolutionary Computation in Scheduling and Combinatorial Optimization http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~rxq/CEC2013ECSchedCO.htm

at
2013 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation http://cec2013.org/
20-23 June 2013
Cancun Mexico

This special session aims to bring together state-of-the-art research on evolutionary computation in a wide range of combinatorial optimization and scheduling problems. Examples of evolutionary methods include ant colony systems, artificial immune systems, cultural algorithms, evolutionary strategies, genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary based hyper-heuristics, memetic algorithms, path relinking, particle swarm optimization and scatter search, etc. Topics of applications include but not limited to:

* 2D/3D strip packing
* assignment problem
* cutting stock
* dynamic scheduling and rescheduling
* educational timetabling
* grid scheduling
* knapsack problems
* multi-objective scheduling
* network routing
* personnel scheduling
* production scheduling
* project scheduling
* scheduling for the web
* space allocation
* sports timetabling
* transport scheduling
* and many more
