PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR WORKSHOP: June 8, 2012
Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (EMO), i.e., the simultaneous
optimization of 2 or more objective functions by means of bio-inspired
search
heuristics, has become one of the main research fields in evolutionary
computation in recent years and as such also gained interest from the
classical field of multicriteria decision making (MCDM). Together with the
rapid development in practice, also theoretical analyses of EMO gained more
and more interest.
To foster this growing interest, the PPSN 2012 workshop on Theoretical
Aspects
of EMO aims at bringing together both theoreticians working in the field of
EMO and from single-objective optimization as well as EMO practitioners.
Besides presenting the newest theoretical results about EMO, the
workshop aims
at providing hands-on sessions in which practitioners and theoreticians
work
in collaboration on selected open questions proposed by the audience.
In this regard, we would like to invite both theoreticians and
practitioners
to either present an open problem or discuss about the latest
developments in
the field of theoretical analysis of evolutionary multiobjective
optimization.
The workshop covers all theoretical topics of EMO, including but not
limited
to
* convergence analysis
* decision making
* diversity mechanisms
* experimental studies based on theoretical considerations
* hybridized EMO approaches
* indicator-based search
* many-objective optimization
* multiobjectivization
* performance assessment
* preference handling
* runtime analyses (incl. approximation results)
* set-based EMO
* variation operators specific to the multiobjective case
We invite submissions as proposals for a talk in form of a short
abstract of
maximally 2 pages (preferably in Springer's LNCS format). The talks should
either propose an open research question to be solved by the audience or
present recent research ideas. In both cases, the main goal is to foster
discussions rather than showing finalized results. In tradition with the
PPSN
workshops, the abstracts are not published in the conference proceedings.
However, we will make both abstracts and slides available online via our
web
page http://taemo.gforge.inria.fr and publish the workshop proceedings
including the abstracts of accepted talks as an INRIA research report which
will be available via HAL (http://hal.inria.fr).
The submission deadline for the extended abstracts is June 8, 2012. Please,
send your submission in PS or PDF format directly to Dimo Brockhoff via the
e-mail address [log in to unmask]
The workshop is a follow-up of a GECCO'2010 workshop on the same topic
(http://taemo.gforge.inria.fr/2010/) and is hopefully a step forward
towards
a regular meeting of researchers interested in both evolutionary
multiobjective optimization and theory.
