SCOPE
The Institute of Fluid Science (IFS), Tohoku University, is proud to
invite you to the Fourth International Conference on Evolutionary
Multi-Criterion Optimization (EMO 2007), which will be held at Hotel
Taikanso, Matsushima, near Sendai, Japan, from 5 to 8 March,
2007. Sendai is two hours north from Tokyo the by bullet train.
Following the very successful EMO 2001, EMO 2003 and EMO 2005
conferences, which were held at Zurich, Switzerland, Faro, Portugal,
Guanajuato, Mexico, respectively, this will be the fourth international
conference dedicated entirely to this important topic.
The EMO 2007 conference will highlight recent research in the rapidly
growing field of evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO).
Theory, practice and applications of all forms of evolutionary
computation related to multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) will
be covered. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* EMO algorithm developments (e.g., constraint handling, diversity
preservation, elitism, many objectives and/or decision variables;
either evolutionary or based on other heuristics such as particle
swarm optimization, differential evolution, cultural algorithms, etc.)
* Theoretical analysis of EMO algorithms
* Test problem, metrics and comparative studies for EMO
* Comparison/Integration of EMO and MCDM
* EMO software development
* Real-world/Industrial applications of EMO algorithms
EMO 2007 will include Keynote Lectures, Regular Oral Sessions,
Interactive Poster Sessions, Late-Breaking Poster Sessions
(new event), and Industrial Sessions (new event) to encourage
industrial participation. Student travel awards will be announced on
the conference web site.
KEYNOET SPEAKERS
* Prof. Hirotaka Nakayama, Konan University, Japan,
"Aspiration Level Methods in Interactive Multi-objecitve Programming
and Their Engineering Application"
* Dr. Kay Chen Tan, National University of Singapore,
"Improving the efficacy of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for
real-world applications"
* Dr. Carlos Fonseca, Universidade do Algarve, Portugal,
"Decision Making in Evolutionary Optimization"
SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit original, full-length papers (maximum 15
pages) in PDF format. EMO 2007 submissions must be made
electronically via the Conference URL Address. The EMO 2007
proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as a volume of the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). Formatting details and
templates are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/ authors.html.
Please follow the guidelines for Proceedings and Other Multiauthor
Volumes under Information for LNCS Authors. Papers for Late-Breaking
Poster Sessions and Industrial Sessions will be published in the separate
proceedings.
VENUE
The conference venue is Hotel Taikanso at Matsushima,
a resort hotel near Sendai.
Various types of rooms will be available at conference rate and
special discount will be provided for young researchers and students.
