[DMANET] CFP: Special session "Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization" at WCCI'2014

-----------------------------------------------
Call for Paper

Special Session on
*Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization*
http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~rxq/CEC2014ECCO.htm

at 2014 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC'2014), WCCI'2014

Extended deadline: 20 January 2014
-----------------------------------------------

This special session aims to bring together state-of-the-art research on evolutionary computation in a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Examples of computational algorithms 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 and bin packing
- assignment problem
- cutting stock
- scheduling, dynamic scheduling and rescheduling
- educational timetabling
- grid scheduling
- knapsack problems
- multi-objective scheduling
- network routing
- personnel scheduling
- portfolio optimisation
- production scheduling
- project scheduling
- recourse allocation
- space allocation
- sports timetabling
- transport scheduling
- and many more

*Paper submission*
