Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to submit your research to the special session
on *"New frontiers in evolutionary computation for real-world optimization:
Smart initialization and dynamic operators"* at the *IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation (CEC) 2025*, which will take place in Hangzhou,
China, from June 8th to 12th, 2025.
*Overview and Scope:*
This special session aims to bring together leading researchers and
practitioners in evolutionary computation (EC) to explore innovative
techniques that enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of evolutionary
algorithms (EAs) for tackling real-world optimization problems. We focus on
three key areas:
- *Intelligent Initialization:* Techniques to generate high-quality
initial solutions for faster convergence and improved solution quality.
- *Dynamic Operators:* Evolving and adapting operators throughout the
search process to improve adaptability to changing environments.
- *Performance Indicators:* Developing metrics to guide exploration vs.
exploitation balance and enhance robustness in dynamic environments.
*Topics of Interest:*
- Initialization techniques: Data-driven, knowledge-based approaches and
their impact on performance.
- Dynamic operators for adaptive EAs: Evolutionary and adaptive operator
selection, self-adaptation mechanisms, and hybridization strategies.
- Decision-making for EC: Integration of Machine Learning, fuzzy
systems, and reinforcement learning.
- Search Guidance Indicators: Developing metrics to guide search
direction and promote robustness.
*Real-world applications and numerical benchmarks are highly encouraged.*
*Submission Guidelines:*
Follow the submission guidelines on the *IEEE CEC 2025 Submission Website* (
https://www.cec2025.org/). During submission, clearly specify that your
paper is for the *"New frontiers in evolutionary computation for real-world
optimization: Smart initialization and dynamic operators"* special session.
*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
