[DMANET] CFP EvoINDUSTRY 2017 at Evo*

---------------------------------
SUBMISSION DEADLINE : November 1st, 2016.
---------------------------------

EvoINDUSTRY 2017 @ Evo* 2017
Evolutionary and Bio-Inspired Computational Techniques within Real-World Industrial and Commercial Environments.

---------------------------------

EvoINDUSTRY is being held as a track within the EvoApplications 2017 Conference, itself part of the Evo* 2017 event to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 19 to 21 April 2017.

---------------------------------

Evolutionary and Bio-Inspired Computation has established itself as a powerful technique for design, search and optimisation with applications in areas such as routing, scheduling, timetabling and planning. There are a number of challenges in moving from academic research to use within industrial environments, these challenges are not only technical, but may also encompass issues such as user interaction and adoption within organisations. EvoIndustry seeks contributions from researchers, developers and industrialists who have utilised Evolutionary Computation within an industrial context.

---------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST include (but are not limited to):
---------------------------------

Case studies on the adoption of Evolutionary Computation within organisations, examining hard and soft issues

Hybrid methods and novel heuristics developed to solve specific problems

The handling of real-world soft constraints

The construction of user interfaces to allow non-experts to use evolutionary based techniques

Organisation, resource and workforce scheduling

Scheduling and planning in industrial environments including production planning, transportation and distribution

---------------------------------
PUBLICATION DETAILS
---------------------------------
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoStar, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science, which will be available at the Conference. Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the conference and attend the conference and present the work.The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper.

***An extended version of the EvoAPPLICATIONS best papers will be published in a special issue of Memetic Computing (Impact Factor: 1.00)***
