Evolutionary Optimization 2006CALL FOR PAPERSEvoOpt 2006 Special Track on Evolutionary Optimization at the 19th International FLAIRS Conference (in cooperation with the American Association for Artificial Intelligence) 11th-13th May, 2006, Melbourne, Florida, USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Deadline: November 21, 2005 EvoOpt 2006 website: http://evoopt2006.dei.uc.pt FLAIRS 2006 website: http://www.indiana.edu/~flairs06/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EvoOpt-2006 will focus on the application of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) to complex optimization problems. In the past few years, these algorithms have been successfully applied to a large number of optimization problems. Some of the most relevant examples belong to the class of combinatorial optimization problems such as the traveling salesperson, scheduling, packing, planning or routing. Additionally, there are many other situations appearing in various industrial, economical, and scientific domains that have also been solved using evolutionary methods. The topics of interest of the track include (although not limited to them): * Application of evolutionary algorithms and related nature-inspired techniques, such as ant colony optimization, particle swarm algorithms or memetic algorithms, to optimization problems; * Representation techniques and evolutionary operators; * Hybridization of EAs with other search methods; * Multi-objective optimization; * Application to dynamic optimization problems; * Constraint handling techniques; * Search space analysis; * Neighborhoods and efficient algorithms for searching them; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Papers must be prepared using the AAAI instructions for authors, and may be up to 6 pages. Reviewers will be asked to focus on the technical content of the papers, so that all reviews are substantive, providing expert constructive feedback to the authors. There will be no expectation that reviewers should act as editorial proof-readers - high quality presentation is the responsibility of the authors, and inadequately prepared papers may be rejected. Papers must be submitted in PDF format through the online submission system. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. An author of each accepted paper is required to register and attend FLAIRS, and present the paper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: November 21, 2005 Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2006 Camera ready papers: February 13, 2006 EvoOpt 2006: May 11-13, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAIRS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Francisco B.
