Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research to the *4th Special
Session on Partitioning, Clustering, and Decomposition in Evolutionary
Computation* at the *IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) 2025*,
which will be held in Hangzhou, China, from June 8th to 12th, 2025.
*Overview and Scope:*
This special session explores the powerful techniques of partitioning,
clustering, and decomposition in Evolutionary Computation (EC). We seek
research that investigates how these methods can enhance performance,
tackle large-scale problems, and optimize parameter selection in various EC
algorithms.
The session covers applications at three levels:
- *Population Level:* Partitioning populations into subpopulations for
improved diversity and escape from local optima.
- *Individual Level:* Grouping variables within individuals for
cooperative coevolutionary algorithms.
- *Parameter Level:* Partitioning techniques targeting parameter
optimization.
We welcome submissions covering all evolutionary paradigms and applications
in domains like image processing, pattern recognition, scheduling, and
transportation.
*Topics of Interest:*
- Partitioning strategies in EC (random, dynamic, seed-based,
hierarchical)
- Multi-population techniques (dynamic, clustering-based, multi-level)
- Partitioning with the master population for enhanced exploration
- Decomposition approaches for large-scale problems
- Clustering for parameter value selection in EC algorithms
- Decomposition in multi-objective and multi-modal optimization
*Submission Guidelines:*
Follow the general submission guidelines on the *IEEE CEC 2025 Submission
Website* (https://www.cec2025.org/). During submission, clearly state that
your paper is for the *"4th Special Session on Partitioning, Clustering,
and Decomposition in Evolutionary Computation"*.
*Important Dates:*
- *Paper Submission Deadline:* January 15, 2025
- *Paper Acceptance Notification:* March 15, 2025
- *Final Paper Submission & Early Registration Deadline:* May 1, 2025
- *Conference Dates:* June 8-12, 2025
