EVOCOMNET 2013 CfP
Application of Nature-inspired Techniques for Communication Networks and other Parallel and Distributed Systems
featuring a fast-track option for Applied Soft Computing journal
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Colleague,

we would like to inform you of the forthcoming 10th edition of the "Application of Nature-inspired Techniques for Communication Networks and other Parallel and Distributed Systems" (EvoCOMNET) event, to be held in Vienna, Austria,  3-5 April 2013 as a part of EvoStar 2013 International Conference.

This year’s edition is technically sponsored by the World Federation on Soft Computing www.softcomputing.org.

PUBLICATION DETAILS

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoStar, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer.

Furthermore, a selection of the best accepted papers, suitably revised and extended, will be eligible for fast-track publication in Applied Soft Computing journal (www.journals.elsevier.com/applied-soft-computing/) by Elsevier (impact factor 2.612), thanks to the technical sponsorship offered by the World Federation on Soft Computing.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

EvoCOMNET 2013 solicits contributions dealing with the application of ideas from natural processes and systems to the definition, analysis, and development of novel sequential, parallel, and distributed evolutionary computation approaches to the solution of problems of practical and theoretical interest in all domains related to network systems. Use and tuning of hybrid computational approaches based on evolutionary techniques are also welcome.

The scope of the event emphasizes contributions to the following application domains, but is not limited to:
	◦	Communication systems:
		◦	Telecommunication, mobile, satellite, voice, and optical communications
		◦	Distributed inference and cooperative communication systems
		◦	Network analysis and design
		◦	Switching and Routing
	◦	Networks:
		◦	Sensor networks
		◦	Mobile ad hoc networks
		◦	Peer-to-peer networks
		◦	Distributed search and computing in peer-to-peer networks
		◦	Network protection systems
		◦	Network robotics and sensor-actor networks
	◦	Network-related issues:
		◦	Parallel and distributed optimization algorithms
		◦	Grid and cloud  computing
		◦	Load balancing, routing, scheduling, and mapping in network-based computing systems
		◦	Quality-of-service provisioning
		◦	Distributed data mining
	◦	Abstract network systems:
		◦	Transportation
		◦	Supply
		◦	Logistics
		◦	Traffic management and simulation
		◦	Social network systems
		◦	Financial and economic network systems
	◦	Real-world implementations
	◦	Studies based on real-world data sets
	◦	Live demonstrations of algorithm behaviour
