Call for Papers
Special Session on "Nature Inspired Constrained Optimization" at IEEE
WCCI 2014
IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence
July 6 - 11, 2014, Beijing International Convention Center, Beijing,
China
http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2014/
Motivation
In their original versions, nature-inspired algorithms for optimization
such as evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and swarm intelligence algorithms
(SIAs) are designed to sample unconstrained search spaces. Therefore, a
considerable amount of research has been dedicated to adapt them to deal
with constrained search spaces.
Objective
The objective of the session is to provide a forum for the presentation
of the most recent advances in constrained optimization using different
nature-inspired techniques. The session seeks to promote the discussion
and presentation of novel works related with (but not limited to) the
following issues:
• Novel constraint-handling techniques
• Novel/adapted search-engines for constrained optimization
• Memetic algorithms in constrained search spaces.
• Parameter adaptation in constrained optimization
• Mixed (discrete-continuous) constrained optimization.
• Theoretical analysis and complexity of algorithms in constrained
optimization.
• Performance evaluation of algorithms in constrained optimization.
• Constraint-handling techniques in multi- and many-objective
optimization
• Dynamic constraint-handling
• Surrogate-assisted constrained optimization
• Design of difficult and scalable test functions
• Applications.
