CFP: EvoStim 2001
=====================================================
About the workshop
------------------
Scheduling and Timetabling are amongst the most successful applications of
evolutionary techniques.
EvoStim2001 is the second European event specifically dedicated to the
applications of evolutionary computation to scheduling and timetabling,
following on from the successful EvoStim 2000 held in Edinburgh in April
2000.
It gives European and non-European researchers in those fields an
opportunity to present their latest research and discuss current
developments and applications. It is also an opportunity to meet with other
researchers and industrialists working in the same field.
Topics (Including but not limited to):
Case studies of applications of evolutionary techniques to real-life
problems
in scheduling and timetabling
Theoretical Developments, including benchmarking and other comparative
studies
Hybrid methods and Novel Heuristics
Methods for fast and minimally disruptive rescheduling
Dynamic Scheduling
Distributed Scheduling
Scheduling in industrial environments including transport and distribution
Educational courses and exam timetabling
Employee and workforce scheduling
Organisation and resource scheduling
Submission procedure
