CALL FOR PAPERS
We are organising the workshop "Understanding of Evolutionary
Optimization Behavior (UEOB 2019)" at the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary
Computation 2019 (http://cec2019.org/programs/workshops.html#cec-02) in
Wellington, New Zealand.
Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate
groups the following opportunity to present original research articles
in CEC 2019.
SCOPE
The focus of the UEOB 2019 is to highlight theoretical and empirical
research that investigates approaches needed to analyze stochastic
optimization algorithms and performance assessment with regard to
different criteria. The main goal is to bring the problem and importance
of understanding optimization algorithms closer to researchers and to
show them how and why this is important for future development in the
optimization community. This will help researchers/users to transfer the
gained knowledge from theory into the real world, or to find the
algorithm that is best suited to the characteristics of a given
real-world problem.
More detailed information can be found at http://cs.ijs.si/ueob/.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
- Data-driven approaches (machine learning/information
theory/statistics) for assessing algorithm performance
- Vector embeddings of problem search space
- Meta-learning
- New advances in analysis and comparison of algorithms
- Operators influence on algorithm behavior
- Parameters influence on algorithm behavior
- Theoretical algorithm analysis
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submissions should be formatted according to the CEC 2019 submission
guidelines provided at http://www.cec2019.org/papers.html#submission.
All submissions will be handled through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ueob2019) and reviewed by the
program committee.
In order to participate to this workshop, a full or a student
registration at CEC 2019 is required.
Selected papers will be invited to be extended for a special issue in
Natural Computing (https://link.springer.com/journal/11047).
