We invite you to submit your research on search-based approaches for
improving software to our special session on Genetic Improvement of
Software. We would be grateful if you can forward this mail to colleagues
and potential contributors.
IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), part of the IEEE World
congress on Computational Intelligence 2020 in Glasgow, Scotland, United
Kingdom
19-24 July 2020
Special session chairs: Alexander E.I. Brownlee, Saemundur O. Haraldsson,
Justyna Petke, John R. Woodward
Website Link: http://geneticimprovementofsoftware.com/wcci2020ss.html
=== Aims and Scope ===
In the past ten years there has been a dramatic increase in work on
Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE), an approach to software
engineering in which search-based optimisation algorithms are used to
address problems. The approach is attractive because it offers a suite of
adaptive automated and semi-automated solutions in situations typified by
large complex problem spaces with multiple competing and conflicting
objectives.
An increasingly popular sub-area is that the SBSE for Code Improvement,
which is also called Genetic Improvement of Software. With this special
session, we are providing an opportunity to showcase recent breakthroughs
in this field.
We invite submissions on any aspect of SBSE for Code Improvement, i.e.,
Genetic Improvement, including, but not limited to, theoretical results
and interesting new applications. The suggested topics cover the entire
range of optimisation of functional and non-functional properties:
- bandwidth minimisation
- latency minimisation
- fitness optimisation
- energy optimisation
- software specialisation
- memory optimisation
- software transplantation
- software testing
- bug fixing
- multi-objective code optimisation
In the context of WCCI, we also welcome ANN and Fuzzy based approaches to
support SBSE, e.g. in performance prediction, identifying buggy code,
estimating run times, etc.
=== Submission ===
Papers for IEEE CEC 2020 should be submitted electronically through the
Congress website, and will be refereed by experts in the fields and ranked
based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality and clarity.
To submit your papers to the special session, please select the Special
Session name in the Main Research topic.
For more submission information please visit: (https://wcci2020.org). All
accepted papers will be published in the IEEE CEC 2020 electronic
proceedings, included in the IEEE Xplore digital library, and indexed by
EI Compendex.
Please note that you should select the CEC-12 under the main research
topic during upload if you wish to submit to our SS.
=== Important deadlines ===
Paper Submission Deadline: 15 Jan 2020
Notification of Acceptance: 15 Mar 2020
Final Paper Submission Deadline: 15 Apr 2020
