CALL FOR PAPERS
Global Optimisation Meta-Heuristics for Industrial Systems Design and Management
A Special Issue of Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing to appear in year 2001
http://www.univ-troyes.fr/JIM/
The aim of this special issue of Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing is to
present recent developments and applications concerning global optimisation
techniques for industrial engineering.
Possible topics for papers submitted to the special issue include but are
not limited to:
- Greedy random adaptive search procedures
- Natural evolutionary computation
- Non-monotonic search strategies
- Partitioned search methods (branch-and-bound, …)
- Statistical methods
- Simulated annealing
- Tabu search
- Threshold algorithms and their hybrids
We are very much interested in methods which:
- combine intelligently different concepts for exploring and exploiting the
search space, and use learning strategies in order to find efficiently
near-optimal solutions
- couple optimisation techniques and discrete events simulation models
- apply global optimisation approaches for multi-objectives optimisation
This special issue will focus on the following industrial applications:
- Line Balancing
- Layout and Location
- Supply Chain Planning and Inventory Control
- Scheduling and Sequencing
Important Dates:
Immediately: Short abstract of tentative paper
May 1, 2000: Deadline for full paper submission
July 3, 2000: Completion of paper review
October 2, 2000: Camera-ready copy of final paper
Authors should follow the Notes for Authors at the end of each issue of JIM
when preparing their manuscripts for submission. (see
http://www.wkap.nl/kaphtml.htm/IFA0956-5515)
Four copies of the manuscript should be sent to
