Call for papers to GECCO 2015 Continuous Optimization (CO) Track (former
ESEP Track)
[Apologies for cross-posting]
Continuous Optimization (CO) Track (former ESEP Track)
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2015/
at 24th International Conference on
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2015)
July 11–15, 2015, Madrid, Spain
Description:
The CO (former ESEP) track is concerned with black-box search paradigms
for optimization in continuous search spaces. It aims to cover but is
not limited to stochastic methods like evolution strategies (ES) and
Evolutionary Programming (EP), as well as the continuous versions of
genetic algorithm (GA), estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA),
particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), and more
generally stochastic methods for continuous optimization, such as Markov
Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and cross-entropy methods.
The track invites submissions that present original work on stochastic
optimization in continuous domains. We encourage papers focusing on
theoretical analysis as well as applications to real-world problems and
benchmark function suites. We welcome further development, improvement
and analysis of optimization algorithms, as well as work on problems
such as large-scale and budgeted optimization, handling of constraints,
multi-modality, noise, uncertain and/or changing environments, and
mixed-integer problems.
