[DMANET] CFP: 2016 IEEE WCCI/CEC Theory Special Session

CALL FOR PAPERS

WCCI/CEC 2016 Special Session on
Theoretical Foundations of Bio-inspired Computation

July 25 - 29, 2016, Vancouver, Canada

*** Paper submission deadline: January 15, 2016 ***

Website: https://hpi.de/friedrich/conf/cec2016.html

==========
Motivation
==========

Bio-inspired search heuristics often turn out to be highly successful
for optimization in practice. The theory of these randomized search
heuristics explains the success or the failure of these methods in
practical applications. Theoretical analyses lead to the understanding
of which problems are optimized (or approximated) efficiently by a
given algorithm and which are not.

The benefits of theoretical understanding for practitioners are
threefold.

1. Aiding the algorithm design,

2. guiding the choice of the best algorithm for the problem at
hand,

3. determining the optimal parameter settings.

The theory of evolutionary computation has grown rapidly in recent
years. The primary aim of this special session is to bring together
people working on theoretical aspects of bio-inspired computation. The
latest breakthroughs in the theory of bio-inspired computation will be
reported and new directions will be set.

=====
Scope
=====

Potential authors are invited to submit papers describing original
contributions to foundations of evolutionary computation. Although we
are most interested in theoretical foundations, computational studies
of a foundational nature are also welcome.

The scope of this special session includes (but is not limited to) the
following topics:

* Theoretical foundations of bio-inspired heuristics

* Exact and approximation runtime analysis

* Black box complexity

* Self-adaptation

* Population dynamics

* Fitness landscape and problem difficulty analysis

* No free lunch theorems

* Statistical approaches for understanding the behavior of
bio-inspired heuristics

* Computational studies of a foundational nature

All problem domains will be considered including:

* combinatorial and continuous optimization

* single‐objective and multi‐objective optimization

* constraint handling

* dynamic and stochastic optimization

* co‐evolution and evolutionary learning

================
Paper Submission
================

To submit to the special session:

1. prepare your manuscript following the WCCI 2016 paper
submission guidelines (see http://www.wcci2016.org/),

2. submit your manuscript electronically in the CEC 2016 system:
http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2016/upload.php,

[DMANET] Call for chapters - Springer Volume - "Modelling, Computing and Data Handling Methodologies for Maritime Transportation"

Call for Volume Chapters in Series

"Advances on Learning, Analytics and Intelligent Computing Systems"

published by Springer

Volume Title:

"Modelling, Computing and Data Handling Methodologies for Maritime
Transportation"

Purpose

Maritime transportation is the major conduit of international trade. In
terms of cost, maritime transport is very competitive against land and
airborne transport, increasing only by a few percent the total product cost.
On the other hand, maritime transportation takes longer or may cause harbor
congestion which further increase the voyage time. Furthermore, there are
difficulties in integrating this transportation mode efficiently with other
transport or distribution options. On top of that, the safety and the
environmental impact of maritime transportation, in particular, in the case
of sea accidents, are always two challenging issues.

As recent advances on maritime transportation require the synergy of both
computer science and maritime science, the main focus in this edited volume
will be upon the latest developments on IT methodologies for maritime
transportation. Computational intelligence, data mining and knowledge
discovery/representation, risk assessment methodologies as well as
combinatorial optimization are the IT fields that have gain importance in
maritime studies because of their potential in giving solutions for
effective sea transportation.

Book chapters on timely topics, state-of-the-art reviews providing a
comprehensive survey and evaluation of a subject area are welcomed for
submission. The main emphasis should be on the presentation of research
aiming for more effective and safer sea transportation, targeting complex
and large-scale optimization problems with conflicting criteria, requiring
innovative solution techniques and ideas from mathematical optimization,
theoretical computer science, massive data analysis and operations research.
Specifically, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Graph and Network algorithms for Maritime Transportation

* Combinatorial optimization techniques for Maritime Transportation

* Environmentally Safe Shipping

* Safety and Security of Maritime Shipping

* GIS in Maritime Applications

* Spatiotemporal and Maritime Data Handling

* Route Planning and Monitoring

* Piracy Protection

* Risk Analysis, Assessment and Prediction

* Maritime Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Applications: surveillance,
maritime traffic control, anomaly detection, emergency management, situation
recognition, etc.

* Decision Support Tools for Maritime Transportation

* Integration of Heterogeneous Maritime Data Sources

Submission Information

The volume will be published by Springer in Series "Advances on Learning,
Analytics and Intelligent Computing Systems". First a chapter proposal of
1500 words should be sent to Volume Editors for evaluation. Upon proposal
acceptance, the authors will be called to submit the full manuscript before
a certain deadline. Then, the submissions will be double-blind reviewed for
deciding the chapters that will be included in the volume.

Important dates

Submission of chapter proposals: December 11, 2015

Notification for proposal acceptance: January 11, 2016

Submission of full chapters: April 11, 2016

Notification for chapter acceptance: May 31, 2016

Regular papers:

Regular papers should report on original research, submitted exclusively
to this conference. Submissions may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced
double-column pages. (Papers will be judged based on their quality and
not their length---short papers are welcome.) The title page,
bibliography and designated figure pages (containing only figures) are
not counted toward the ten pages. (Illustrative figures are
encouraged.) All necessary details to substantiate the main claims of
the paper should be included in a clearly marked appendix. Regular
papers will be allotted up to 10 pages in the proceedings.

Brief announcements:

SPAA also solicits brief announcements that raise issues of interest to
the SPAA community. Brief announcements may not exceed two pages.
Examples of good brief announcements include: (i) papers previously
published elsewhere of interest to SPAA, (ii) work in progress, (iii)
announcement of tools/libraries, (iv) challenge problems posed to the
community, (v) corrections to earlier results. Brief announcements may
also include smaller results of interest.

Authors may request that a regular paper be considered as a brief
announcement. As far as possible, the program committee will remain
blind to this request until status as a regular paper has been resolved.
Such a request will not affect the chances of the manuscript to be
accepted as a regular paper.

Submission details:

Papers should be submitted in standard ACM format, i.e., 9-point font on
8.5x11 inch pages. For detailed submission instructions and formatting,
please see http://spaa.acm.org.

Awards:

Every regular paper is eligible for the best paper award.
