CALL FOR PAPERS
2009 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Scheduling
(CI-Sched 2009)
http://www.ieee-ssci.org/index.php?q=node/13
March 30 - April 2, 2009
Sheraton Music City Hotel, Nashville, TN, USA
----------------------------------------------------------------
CI-Sched 2009 covers research on all aspects of computational
intelligence applied to scheduling. Due to the huge search spaces that
have to be explored, scheduling problems cannot usually be solved by
exact approaches. Therefore we often have to turn to techniques in
Computational Intelligence (including evolutionary computation, memetic
algorithms, neural networks, swarm intelligence, fuzzy logic, etc.) This
symposium aims to explore recent advances in this area.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Computational Intelligence in:
- Course and Examination Timetabling
- Commercial Scheduling packages
- Employee Scheduling
- Production Scheduling
- Sports Scheduling
- Transport Scheduling
* Complexity Issues in scheduling
* Interactive Scheduling using Computational Intelligence
* Comparison of Techniques (e.g. compare Neural Networks with Fuzzy
Logic or comparison of a meta-heuristic approach with a CI approach)
* Experiences of CI within Scheduling
* Case Studies
* Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms and
representations for scheduling
Prospective authors are invited to prepare papers of no more than eight
(8) pages in IEEE double-column conference style, including results,
figures and references. Submissions to
http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cisched2009/upload.php.
Authors of papers related to memetic algorithms are invited to submit
extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the journal of
Memetic Computing.
Important Dates:
Submission Deadline October 31, 2008
Notification to Authors November 30, 2008
Camera-Ready Due January 15, 2009
