Call for Papers
-------------------------------
*Special Session on **Partitioning and Clustering for Evolutionary
Computation*
-------------------------------
*IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI)*
<https://2024.ieeewcci.org/>
*June 30th-July 5th, 2024.*Venue - Yokohama, Japan.
-------------------------------
**** Scope and Topics*
Partitioning points out techniques in which the samples are divided into
different groups in terms of some criteria. Clustering is a special type of
partitioning approach in which the samples are categorized into a group
according to their similarities. Partitioning can be applied for different
purposes in evolutionary computation, such as improving performance,
finding a promising region, solving a large-scale problem, and finding a
proper value for a specific parameter. Generally speaking, partitioning and
clustering can be seen in different levels of an algorithm. The goal of
this special session is the use of partitioning and clustering approaches
for evolutionary computation, covering all different evolutionary
paradigms. The aim is to investigate both the new theories and methods in
different evolutionary paradigms in different domains, such as image
processing, pattern recognition, scheduling, and transportation.
Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work to this
special session; the topics of interest (but not limited) are the following:
- Random partitioning in evolutionary computation
- Dynamic sub-swarm number strategy in evolutionary computation
- Seed and distance-based partitioning techniques in evolutionary
computation
- Hierarchical partitioning techniques in evolutionary computation
- Dynamic multi-population techniques in evolutionary computation
- Clustering-based multi-population techniques
- Multi-level clustering-based multi-population techniques
- Random partitioning with master-population
- Decomposition-based approaches in large-scale optimization
- Clustering approaches for finding proper parameter values
- Decomposition approaches in multi-objective evolutionary algorithms
- Decomposition approaches in Multi-modal multi-objective Evolutionary
Algorithms
**** Important Dates*
*Important Dates:*
*Paper Submission Deadline: * ̶J̶a̶n̶u̶a̶r̶y̶ ̶1̶5̶t̶h̶,̶ ̶2̶0̶2̶4̶, January
15th, 2024 (EXTENDED)
*Paper Acceptance Notification:* March 15th, 2024
*Final Paper Submission & **Early Registration:* May 1st, 2024
The submission procedure, deadlines, and paper format are the same as the *IEEE
WCCI 2024 *main conference. In particular, we recall that papers must be
submitted through the *IEEE WCCI 2024* online *submission system
<https://edas.info/N31614>* while selecting the special session on Partitioning
and Clustering for Evolutionary Computation under the list of *Main
research topics* in the submission system.
