[DMANET] CFP: Special Session "Evolutionary Computation in Scheduling" at WCCI 2010

---------------------------------------------------------
Special Session on Evolutionary Computation in Scheduling
2010 IEEE World Congress On Computational Intelligence
July 18-23, 2010, Barcelona, Spain
---------------------------------------------------------

/*Call for Papers and Participations*/

Scheduling problems have received considerable attention due to their
wide applications in real world. The objectives of scheduling problems
are constrained, complex, large-scale, multiple, or mixture of them. In
addition, dynamic scheduling problems with uncertain, noisy, or
time-varying fitness functions have gained an increasing interest recently.

Evolutionary computation has shown to be effective for scheduling
problems. This special session is to explore recent research advances on
all aspects of evolutionary computation on scheduling problems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms for
scheduling problems
Benchmark problems and performance metrics
Dynamic scheduling problems
Single and multi-objective scheduling
Hybrid methods for scheduling problems
Applications (production scheduling, educational timetabling, project
scheduling, network routing, self-organization of wireless networks, etc.)
Comparative studies
