Please apologize for multiple copies ********************************************************************** Call for Papers Evolutionary Computation in Dynamic and Uncertain Environments (ECiDUE) Special Session 2013 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) Cancún, Mexico, June 20 - 23, 2013 Submission deadline: February,15 ,2013 ********************************************************************** Many real-world optimization problems are subjected to dynamism and uncertainties that are often impossible to avoid in practice. The tools to solve these dynamic and uncertain optimization problems (DOP) should be flexible, able to tolerate uncertainties, fast to allow reaction to changes and adaptive. Moreover, the objective of such tools is no longer to simply locate the global optimum solution, but to continuously track the optimum in dynamic environments, or to find a robust solution that operates properly in the presence of uncertainties. SPECIAL SESSION INFORMATION This special session aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to review the latest advances and explore future directions in this field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Benchmark problems and performance measures * Dynamic single-objective and multi-objective optimization * Adaptation, learning, and anticipation * Models of uncertainty and their management * Handling noisy fitness functions * Searching for robust optimal solutions * Algorithm comparison and benchmarking * Hybrid approaches * Theoretical analysis * Real-world applications MORE DETAILS Special Session: http://decsai.ugr.es/~dpelta/ECiDUE2013 Conference: http://www.cec2013.org/ IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: February, 15 , 2013 Notification of acceptance: April, 8 , 2013 Camera ready papers: April, 26 , 2013 CEC 2013 Conference: June, 20-23 2013 CHAIRS Dr David Alejandro Pelta, Department of Computer Science and A.I.
