===============================================================================
Workshop on Landscape-Aware Heuristic Search
http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/events/gecco2017-landscape/
Held in conjunction with the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Conference (GECCO 2017)
Berlin, Germany, 15-19 July 2017
===============================================================================
IMPORTANT DATES
===============
Submission deadline: 29 March 2017
Acceptance notification: 10 April 2017
Workshop date (TBC): 15 or 16 July 2017
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
==================
Fitness landscape analysis and visualisation can provide significant
insights into problem instances and algorithm behaviour. The aim of the
workshop is to encourage and promote the use of landscape analysis to
improve the understanding, the design and, eventually, the performance
of search algorithms. Examples include landscape analysis as a tool to
inform the design of algorithms, landscape metrics for online adaptation
of search strategies, mining landscape information to predict instance
hardness and algorithm runtime.
The workshop will focus on, but not be limited to, topics such as:
- Evolvability and searchability characterisation
- Exploiting problem structure
- Exploratory landscape analysis
- Fitness landscape analysis
- Fitness landscape visualisation
- Fitness landscape theory
- Grey-box optimisation
- Informed search strategies
- Local optima networks
- Multi-objective fitness landscapes
- Performance and failure prediction
