 CFP: EvoStim 2001
 =====================================================
 
 About the workshop
 ------------------
 
 Scheduling and Timetabling are amongst the most successful 
 applications of evolutionary techniques.

 EvoStim2001 is the second European event specifically dedicated       to
the applications of evolutionary computation to scheduling and timetabling,
following on from the successful EvoStim 2000 held in  Edinburgh in April
2000.
 
 It gives European and non-European researchers in those fields an
opportunity to present their latest research and discuss current
developments and applications. It is also an opportunity to  meet with other
researchers and industrialists working in the same field.
 
 Topics (Including but not limited to):
 
 - Case studies of applications of evolutionary techniques to 
 real-life problems  in scheduling and timetabling
 - Theoretical Developments, including benchmarking and other 
 comparative  studies
 - Hybrid methods and Novel Heuristics
 - Methods for fast and minimally disruptive rescheduling
 - Dynamic Scheduling
 - Distributed Scheduling
 - Scheduling in industrial environments including transport and 
   distribution
 - Educational courses and exam timetabling
 - Employee and workforce scheduling
 - Organisation and resource scheduling
