This involves making a number of design decisions such as parameter tuning, identifying moves or operators to use, deciding on the control flow of the algorithm or determining which low-level heuristics to use in the case of combinatorial optimization problems. In some cases it may be necessary to create new operators or algorithms or hybridize different metaheuristics to solve a problem. Hyper-heuristics and adaptive metaheuristics have proven to be effective for making some of these design decisions, thereby facilitating automated design. Hyper-heuristics have been successfully used for the selection and generation of lowlevel heuristics in solving various combinatorial optimization problems including timetabling, vehicle routing and packing problems, amongst others and have also been applied to dynamic environments and multiobjective optimization. More recent trends in hyper-heuristic research have focused on the design of metaheuristics. Selection hyper-heuristics have been used for determining parameter values, choice of operators and control flow in metaheuristics, e.g. evolutionary algorithms and ant colonization, as well as for the hybridization of techniques, e.g. multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, different metaheuristics.<br /><br />Generation hyper-heuristics have been employed to create new operators for metaheuristics, e.g. selection and mutation operators. An emerging area in hyper-heuristics is hyper-hyper-heuristics, i.e. using hyper-heuristics to generate or design hyper-heuristics. The aim of this special session is for researchers to present recent developments in the field thereby paving the way for future advancement.<br /><br />The main topics include but are not limited to:<br /> <ul> <li>Applications of selection and generative hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for metaheuristic design, e.g. parameter tuning, control flow, operator selection</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for the creation of new operators and algorithms</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for the derivation of hybrid methods, e.g. hybridization of metaheuristics</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for the design hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Cross domain applications of hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Parallelization of hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Theoretical aspects of hyper-heuristics</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Organizers</h4> <b>Nelishia Pillay</b>,<br />University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa<br />E-mail: <a href="mailto:pillayn32@ukzn.ac.za">pillayn32@ukzn.ac.za</a><br /><br /><b>Rong Qu</b>,<br />University of Nottingham, UK<br />E-mail: <a href="mailto:Rong.Qu@nottingham.ac.uk">Rong.Qu@nottingham.ac.uk</a><br /><br /><b>Hisao Ishibuchi</b>,<br />Osaka Prefecture University, Japan<br />E-mail: <a href="mailto:hisaoi@cs.osakafu-u.ac.jp">hisaoi@cs.osakafu-u.ac.jp</a><br /><br /> <h4> Important Dates</h4> Paper submission deadline: 15 January, 2016<br />Paper acceptance notification: 15 March, 2016<br />Final paper submission deadline: 15 April, 2016<br />Early registration: 15 April, 2016<br /><br /> <h4> Paper Submission</h4> Special session papers are treated the same as regular papers and must be submitted via the CEC 2016 submission website.

The capacity developing focuses on moving the algorithm’s search to the area(s) where higher search potential may be obtained, while the capability learning focuses on its actually search from the current solution for single point based optimization algorithms and from the current population for population-based swarm intelligence algorithms.  The swarm intelligence algorithms with both capability learning and capacity developing can be called as developmental swarm intelligence algorithms.<br /><br />The capacity developing is a top-level learning or macro-level learning methodology. The capacity developing describes the learning ability of an algorithm to adaptively change its parameters, structures, and/or its learning potential according to the search states of the problem to be solved. In other words, the capacity developing is the search strength possessed by an algorithm. The capability learning is a bottom-level learning or micro-level learning. The capability learning describes the ability for an algorithm to find better solution(s) from current solution(s) with the learning capacity it possesses.<br /><br />The Brain Storm Optimization (BSO) algorithm is a new kind of swarm intelligence, which is based on the collective behaviour of human being, that is, the brainstorming process. It is natural to expect that an optimization algorithm based on human collective behaviour could be a better optimization algorithm than existing swarm intelligence algorithms which are based on collective behaviour of simple insects, because human beings are social animals and are the most intelligent animals in the world. The designed optimization algorithm will naturally have the capability of both convergence and divergence.<br /><br />The BSO algorithm is a good example of developmental swarm intelligence algorithm. A “good enough” optimum could be obtained through solution divergence and convergence in the search space. In the BSO algorithm, the solutions are clustered into several categories, and the new solutions are generated by the mutation of cluster or existing solutions. The capacity developing, i.e., the adaptation during the search, is another common feature of the BSO algorithms.  <br /><br />The BSO algorithm can be seen as a combination of swarm intelligence and data mining techniques. Every individual in the brain storm optimization algorithm is not a solution to the problem to be optimized, but also a data point to reveal the landscapes of the problem. The swarm intelligence and data mining techniques can be combined to produce benefits above and beyond what either method could achieve alone.<br /><br /> <h4> Topics of Interest</h4> This special session aims at presenting the latest developments of BSO algorithm, as well as exchanging new ideas and discussing the future directions of developmental swarm intelligence. Original contributions that provide novel theories, frameworks, and applications to algorithms are very welcome for this Special Session. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:<br /> <ul> <li>Analysis and control of BSO parameters</li> <li>Parallelized and distributed realizations of BSO algorithms</li> <li>BSO for Multi-objective optimization</li> <li>BSO for Constrained optimization</li> <li>BSO for Discrete optimization</li> <li>BSO algorithm with data mining techniques</li> <li>BSO in uncertain environments</li> <li>Theoretical aspects of BSO algorithm</li> <li>BSO for Real-world applications</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Submission</h4> Please follow the IEEE CEC2016 instruction for authors and submit your paper via the IEEE CEC 2016 online submission system.

Big data is defined as the dataset whose size is beyond the processing ability of typical databases or computers. Big data analytics is to automatically extract knowledge from large amounts of data. It can be seen as mining or processing of massive data, and “useful” information can be retrieved from large dataset. Big data analytics can be characterized by several properties, such as large volume, variety of different sources, and fast increasing speed (velocity). It is of great interest to investigate the role of evolutionary computing (EC) techniques, including evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence algorithms for the optimization and learning involving big data, in particular, the ability of EC techniques to solve large scale, dynamic, and sometimes multi-objective big data analytics problems.<br /><br /> <h4> Topics of Interest</h4> This special session aims at presenting the latest developments of EC techniques for big data problems, as well as exchanging new ideas and discussing the future directions of EC for big data. Original contributions that provide novel theories, frameworks, and solutions to challenging problems of big data analytics are very welcome for this Special Session.

Optimization models that consider these two kind of parameters simultaneously are referred to as mixed-integer problems and are exceptionally difficult to solve. While there exists comprehensive analysis of deterministic algorithms for mixed-integer problems, evolutionary algorithms for this kind of problem is still a young and emerging field. Considering the robustness of evolutionary algorithms and their often existing capability for parallelization and multi/many-objective optimization, evolutionary algorithms can offer a significant new potential for the class of mixed-integer problems.

The uncertainties cannot be modeled using the conventional statistical tools, e.g. Gaussian distribution model. Instead, some tools like Evidence Theory or Belief Function Theory can be used to model the uncertainties. Plausibility and belief, which describe the upper and lower bounds of the possible results, are used to evaluate the uncertainty impacts.<br /><br />In some more complex problems, the epistemic uncertainties takes a more complex form, e.g. the uncertainties with Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) structure of the estimated values and variances.  In some other design problems, both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties can be found as well. In this case, interaction between the epistemic and aleatory uncertainties should be considered in the design optimization. <br /><br />The design optimization under uncertainties can be formulated as multi-objective optimization problem, with the objectives to minimize system function values and the objective to maximize corresponding beliefs. In all mentioned cases, the step-like optimal Pareto front should be obtained.<br /><br />Another problem the designers face frequently in real-life engineering optimization is the fidelity management in the design optimization. A common way to tackle the design problems with multi-fidelity models is to start the optimization with the low fidelity model, and then use the expensive high fidelity model to refine the design solutions. The strategy works well in some problems but have a risk to trap into the pseudo optimal solutions if the values the low level model predicts is not consistent well with the high fidelity ones in that region. Therefore, the model fidelity management strategy for determining when the high fidelity model should be used is required. The strategy can be kriging, space mapping, and trust region method, etc. However, most of the strategies are designed for the single objective design cases, e.g to maximize the lift-drag ratio of the airfoil under specified Mach number. For a more complex design problem with multi-objective optimization under uncertainties, such strategies should be improved before they can be used in the design optimization.<br /><br />In recent years, methods of optimization under epistemic uncertainties and multi-fidelity models are developed, but in a separate way. However, in many cases, both the epistemic uncertainties and the multi-fidelity models are involved. The session aims to develop efficient and combinatory strategies for these problems, and incorporate efficiently the evidence computation and model fidelity management in the design optimization. As the evidence computation can cost huge amount of computational resources if numbers of epistemic uncertainties are involved, high efficiency approximation techniques are required, and bench mark functions for the design optimization should be developed as well.<br /> <br /> <h4> Session Topics</h4> The design problem under epistemic uncertainties and multi-fidelity models can be found in many practical problems, particularly in aerospace engineering design problems. The issues involved include MOO algorithm, uncertainty modeling, model fidelity management, and the strategies to integrate them to implement the optimization efficiently. The session seeks to promote the discussion and presentation of novel works related with (but not limited to) the following issues:<br /> <ul> <li>Application of robust design optimization in engineering problems</li> <li>Uncertainty modeling</li> <li>Parameter reduction technique</li> <li>Model fidelity management</li> <li>Surrogate of expensive model</li> <li>Multi-objective optimization for the problems with step-like optimal front</li> <li>Approximation techniques for evidence computation</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Important Dates</h4> Paper Submission: 15 January 2016<br />Decision Notification: 15 April 2016<br />Note that the submission should go to the special session in the submission system at IEEE-WCCI/CEC2016.<br /> <br />All accepted papers in the special sessions will be included in the published conference proceedings. <br /><br /> <h4> Session Organisers</h4> Dr. Liqiang Hou<br />State Key Laboratory of Astronautic Dynamics<br />Xi'an Satellite Control Center, Xi'an, China<br /><a href="mailto:Houliqiang2008@139.com">Houliqiang2008@139.com</a><br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>IEEE CIS</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/12/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/12/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-12-01T01:27:00-08:00'>01:27</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/12/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-210035814'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=1777002270343796906&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=1777002270343796906&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=1777002270343796906&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

In the literature, MC has been successfully manifested as memetic algorithm, where meme has been typically perceived as individual learning procedures, adaptive improvement procedures or local search operators that enhance the capability of population based search algorithms. More recently, novel manifestations of meme in the forms such as knowledge building-block, decision tree, artificial neural works, fuzzy system, graphs, etc., have also been proposed for efficient problem-solving. These meme-inspired algorithms, frameworks and paradigms have demonstrated with considerable success in various real-world application.<br /><br /> The aim of this special session on memetic computing is to provide a forum for researchers in this field to exchange the latest advances in theories, technologies, and practice of memetic computing.<br /><br /> <h4> Topics</h4> Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work in the areas including, but not limited to:<br /> <ul> <li>Single/Multi-Objective memetic algorithms for continuous or combinatorial optimization,</li> <li>Theoretical studies that enhance our understandings on the behaviors of memetic computing,</li> <li>Adaptive systems and meme coordination,</li> <li>Novel manifestations of memes for problem-solving,</li> <li>Cognitive, Brain, individual learning, and social learning inspired memetic computation,</li> <li>Self-design algorithms in memetic computing,</li> <li>Memetic frameworks using surrogate or approximation methods,</li> <li>Memetic automaton, cognitive and brain inspired agent based memetic computing,</li> <li>Data mining and knowledge learning in memetic computation paradigm,</li> <li>Evolutionary Multi-Tasking,</li> <li>Memetic computing for expensive and complex real-world .</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Paper Submission:</h4> Papers for IEEE WCCI 2016 should be submitted electronically through the Congress website at<a href="http://www.wcci2016.org/"> http://www.wcci2016.org</a>, and will be refereed by experts in the fields and ranked based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality and clarity.

However a big challenge is the resulting high computational cost of the models which often even hinders the application of evolutionary optimization and design methods. In the literature various methods are proposed to tackle the problem like for example approximation methods or surrogates which are used to reduce computationally expensive optimization problems. However this involves many challenges in tailoring the approximation/surrogate to each problem in question. The aim of this session is to bring together researchers from evolutionary algorithms who deal with computationally expensive problems. This is an ideal platform for researchers and practitioners to interact and present ideas for handling computationally expensive problems.<br /><br /> <h4> List of main topics:</h4> The topics include (but not limited to):<br /> <ul> <li>Reducing of function evaluations using function, fitness, problem approximation and multi-level approaches</li> <li>Surrogate based methods in optimization</li> <li>Preference based methods including preference learning and many objective optimization</li> <li>Parallelization/grid/cloud of evolutionary algorithms</li> <li>Data-driven optimization using big data and data analytics</li> <li>Real world applications</li> </ul> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>IEEE CIS</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_24.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_24.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-08-04T12:00:00-07:00'>12:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_24.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-210035814'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=3407941883961690908&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=3407941883961690908&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=3407941883961690908&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=3407941883961690908&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=3407941883961690908&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=3407941883961690908&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/search/label/call%20for%20papers' rel='tag'>call for papers</a>, <a href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/search/label/CEC%202016' rel='tag'>CEC 2016</a>, <a href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/search/label/special%20session' rel='tag'>special session</a>, <a href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/search/label/WCCI%202016' rel='tag'>WCCI 2016</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='7567202214513841869' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='723135447945352603' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='723135447945352603'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_4.html'>Call for Papers WCCI 2016 Special Session: Optimization Methods in Energy Internet System</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-723135447945352603' itemprop='description articleBody'> Dear colleagues,<br /><br />We cordially invite you to submit your work (8 pages maximum) to the Special Session on Optimization Methods in Energy Internet System at WCCI 2016.

This involves making a number of design decisions such as parameter tuning, identifying moves or operators to use, deciding on the control flow of the algorithm or determining which low-level heuristics to use in the case of combinatorial optimization problems. In some cases it may be necessary to create new operators or algorithms or hybridize different metaheuristics to solve a problem. Hyper-heuristics and adaptive metaheuristics have proven to be effective for making some of these design decisions, thereby facilitating automated design. Hyper-heuristics have been successfully used for the selection and generation of low level heuristics in solving various combinatorial optimization problems including timetabling, vehicle routing and packing problems, amongst others and have also been applied to dynamic environments and multiobjective optimization. More recent trends in hyper-heuristic research have focused on the design of metaheuristics. Selection hyper-heuristics have been used for determining parameter values, choice of operators and control flow in metaheuristics, e.g. evolutionary algorithms and ant colonization, as well as for the hybridization of techniques, e.g. multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, different metaheuristics.<br /> <br />Generation hyper-heuristics have been employed to create new operators for metaheuristics, e.g. selection and mutation operators. An emerging area in hyper-heuristics is hyper-hyper-heuristics, i.e. using hyper-heuristics to generate or design hyper-heuristics. The aim of this special session is for researchers to present recent developments in the field thereby paving the way for future advancement.<br /> <br />The main topics include but are not limited to:<br /> <ul> <li>Applications of selection and generative hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for metaheuristic design, e.g. parameter tuning, control flow, operator selection</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for the creation of new operators and algorithms</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for the derivation of hybrid methods, e.g. hybridization of metaheuristics</li> <li>Hyper-heuristics for the design hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Cross domain applications of hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Parallelization of hyper-heuristics</li> <li>Theoretical aspects of hyper-heuristics</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Organizers:</h4> <b>Nelishia Pillay</b><br />University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa<br />E-mail: <a href="mailto:pillayn32@ukzn.ac.za">pillayn32@ukzn.ac.za</a><br /><b> </b><br /> <b>Rong Qu</b><br />University of Nottingham, UK<br />E-mail: <a href="mailto:Rong.Qu@nottingham.ac.uk">Rong.Qu@nottingham.ac.uk</a><br /><b> </b><br /> <b>Hisao Ishibuchi</b><br />Osaka Prefecture University, Japan<br />E-mail: <a href="mailto:hisaoi@cs.osakafu-u.ac.jp">hisaoi@cs.osakafu-u.ac.jp</a><br /><br /> <h4> Important Dates:</h4> Paper submission deadline: 15 January, 2016<br />Paper acceptance notification: 15 March, 2016<br />Final paper submission deadline: 15 April, 2016<br />Early registration: 15 April, 2016<br /><br /> <h4> Paper Submission:</h4> Special session papers are treated the same as regular papers and must be submitted via the CEC 2016 submission website.

Big data, also known as massive data or mass data, referring to the amount of data involved that are too great to be interpreted by a human. The Obama administration invested nearly two hundred million US dollars on the program of "Big Data Research and Development Initiative", aiming to protect the national security. In addition, sociologists use the big data from social interaction network to analyze the human behavior, communication methods.<br /> <br />However, the methods to process big data are ineffective. Currently, the suitable technologies include A/B testing, crowdsourcing, data fusion and integration, genetic algorithms, machine learning, natural language processing, signal processing, simulation, time series analysis and visualization. But real or near-real time information delivery is one of the defining characteristics of big data analytics. It is important to find new methods to enhance the effectiveness of big data.<br /> <br />Fireworks algorithm (FWA) achieved great success on solving many complex optimization problems effectively. FWA has a unique search manner in the solution space and is a strong capability to solve optimization problems. It has many effective variants and huge amount of successful applications. Moreover, FWA is suitable for parallelization and works significantly better than other SI algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization and genetic algorithm.<br />The main aim of this special session is to bring together both experts and new-comers from either academia or industry to discuss fireworks algorithm and its application, especially on big data. However, both the improvement of FWA and the application of FWA are acceptable for this special session.<br /><br /> <h4> Scope and Topics</h4> Full papers are invited on recent advances in the development of FWA, i.e., FWA improvements and applications. In addition, we are interested in various studies discussing processing big data issues by FWA. The session seeks to promote the discussion and presentation of novel works related with (but not limited to) the following issues:<br /> <ul> <li>Theoretical analysis of FWA</li> <li>Algorithmic improvement of FWA</li> <li>FWA for single-, multi-, and many-objective optimization</li> <li>FWA for data mining and machine learning</li> <li>FWA for big data and data analysis</li> <li>Parallelized and distributed realizations of FWA</li> <li>Applications of FWA in big data</li> <li>FWA for all the other applications</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Important Dates</h4> Authors are welcome to submit original, latest, and unpublished contributions to the Special Session by using the online submission system at the IEEE CEC 2016 website at <a href="http://www.wcci2016.org/">http://www.wcci2016.org/</a>.<br />Please notice<br /> <ul> <li>Paper submission: 16 Jan 2016.</li> <li>Conference dates: 25-29 July 2016.</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Submission</h4> Please visit the forum of FWA <a href="http://www.cil.pku.edu.cn/research/fwa/index.html">http://www.cil.pku.edu.cn/research/fwa/index.html</a> before your submission.<br /> <br />When submitting their manuscripts, authors are recommended to follow these steps:<br /> <ul> <li>Identify the conference associated to the Special Session they are interested in, by looking at the “Provisionally Accepted Special Session” list under the column called ID;</li> <li>Go to the conference submission website <a href="http://www.wcci2016.org/submission.php">http://www.wcci2016.org/submission.php</a>;</li> <li>Select the Special Session name in the Main Research topic dropdown list;</li> <li>Fill out the input fields, upload the pdf file and finalize the submission by January 16, 2016.</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Special Session Co-Chairs</h4> <br /> <ul> <li>Prof. Ying Tan, Peking University, China</li> <li>Dr. Liangjun Ke, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China </li> </ul> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>IEEE CIS</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_3.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_3.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-08-03T09:00:00-07:00'>09:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://ieee-cis.blogspot.com/2015/08/call-for-papers-wcci-2016-special_3.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-210035814'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=7263451577101253257&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=7263451577101253257&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7567202214513841869&postID=7263451577101253257&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Among various ideas adopted for many-objective optimization, one big challenge is to develop highly efficient and effective non-dominated sorting methods and Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) for MaOPs. The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers in the evolutionary computation community dedicated to solving MaOPs using non-dominated sorting and Pareto-based approaches to MaOPs. Topics of the special session include, but are not limited to<br /> <ul> <li>Reducing the computational cost of non-dominated sorting for MaOPs</li> <li>New Pareto dominance relationships for MOEAs to solve MaOPs</li> <li>New convergence/diversity-related metrics combined with dominance comparison for MaOPs</li> <li>Efficient Pareto-based MOEAs for large scale multi-objective optimization problems</li> <li>Real world applications of efficient non-dominated sorting and/or Pareto-based MOEAs for MaOPs</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Organizers:</h4> <b>Xingyi Zhang</b>, School of Computer Science and Technology, Anhui University, China <a href="mailto:xyzhanghust@gmail.com">xyzhanghust@gmail.com</a><br /> <b>Ran Cheng</b>, Department of Computer Science, University of Surrey, UK. <a href="mailto:r.cheng@surrey.ac.uk">r.cheng@surrey.ac.uk</a><br /> <b>Yaochu Jin</b>, Department of Computer Science, University of Surrey, UK. <a href="mailto:yaochu.jin@surrey.ac.uk">yaochu.jin@surrey.ac.uk</a><br /><b> </b><br /> <b>Xingyi Zhang</b> received the B.Sc. from Fuyang Normal College in 2003, and the M.Sc. in 2006and Ph.D. in 2009 both from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

The hierarchical structure of the problem requires that every feasible solution to the upper level problem should satisfy the optimality conditions of the lower level problem. Such a requirement makes bilevel optimization problems difficult to solve. These problems are commonly found in many practical problem solving tasks, which include optimal control, process optimization, game-playing strategy development, transportation problems, coordination of multi-divisional firms, machine learning and others. Due to the computation expense and other difficulties involved in handling such problems, they are often handled using approximate solution procedures. There is a need for theoretical as well as methodological advancements to handle such problems efficiently.<br /><br />IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) being one of the leading conferences in evolutionary computation will give an opportunity to researchers and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas for handling bilevel problems, which have yet not been widely explored by the evolutionary computation community. The special session on Bilevel Optimization will bring together researchers working on the following topics:<br /> <ul> <li>Evolutionary algorithms for bilevel optimization problems</li> <li>Evolutionary algorithms for multi-objective bilevel optimization problems</li> <li>Approximate procedures to handle bilevel optimization problems</li> <li>Hybrid approaches to handle bilevel optimization problems</li> <li>Theoretical results on bilevel optimization problems</li> <li>Bilevel Application Problems</li> <li>Hierarchical decision making</li> </ul> <br /> <h4> Keywords</h4> Bilevel Optimization, Bilevel Multi-objective Optimization, Evolutionary Algorithms, Multi-Criteria Decision Making, Theory on Bilevel Programming, Hierarchical Decision Making, Bilevel Applications, Hybrid Algorithms<br /><br /> <h4> Short Biography</h4> <b>Ankur Sinha</b> is an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, India in the area of Production and Quantitative Methods.

Big data is defined as the dataset whose size is beyond the processing ability of typical databases or computers. Big data analytics is to automatically extract knowledge from large amounts of data. It can be seen as mining or processing of massive data, and “useful” information can be retrieved from large dataset. Big data analytics can be characterized by several properties, such as large volume, variety of different sources, and fast increasing speed (velocity). It is of great interest to investigate the role of evolutionary computing (EC) techniques, including evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence algorithms for the optimization and learning involving big data, in particular, the ability of EC techniques to solve large scale, dynamic, and sometimes multi-objective big data analytics problems.<br /><br /> <h4> Topics of Interest</h4> This special session aims at presenting the latest developments of EC techniques for big data problems, as well as exchanging new ideas and discussing the future directions of EC for big data. Original contributions that provide novel theories, frameworks, and solutions to challenging problems of big data analytics are very welcome for this Special Session.

The capacity developing focuses on moving the algorithm’s search to the area(s) where higher search potential may be obtained, while the capability learning focuses on its actually search from the current solution for single point based optimization algorithms and from the current population for population-based swarm intelligence algorithms.  The swarm intelligence algorithms with both capability learning and capacity developing can be called as developmental swarm intelligence algorithms.<br /> <br />The capacity developing is a top-level learning or macro-level learning methodology. The capacity developing describes the learning ability of an algorithm to adaptively change its parameters, structures, and/or its learning potential according to the search states of the problem to be solved. In other words, the capacity developing is the search strength possessed by an algorithm. The capability learning is a bottom-level learning or micro-level learning. The capability learning describes the ability for an algorithm to find better solution(s) from current solution(s) with the learning capacity it possesses.<br /> <br />The Brain Storm Optimization (BSO) algorithm is a new kind of swarm intelligence, which is based on the collective behaviour of human being, that is, the brainstorming process. It is natural to expect that an optimization algorithm based on human collective behaviour could be a better optimization algorithm than existing swarm intelligence algorithms which are based on collective behaviour of simple insects, because human beings are social animals and are the most intelligent animals in the world. The designed optimization algorithm will naturally have the capability of both convergence and divergence.<br /> <br />The BSO algorithm is a good example of developmental swarm intelligence algorithm. A "good enough" optimum could be obtained through solution divergence and convergence in the search space. In the BSO algorithm, the solutions are clustered into several categories, and the new solutions are generated by the mutation of cluster or existing solutions. The capacity developing, i.e., the adaptation during the search, is another common feature of the BSO algorithms. <br /> <br />The BSO algorithm can be seen as a combination of swarm intelligence and data mining techniques. Every individual in the brain storm optimization algorithm is not a solution to the problem to be optimized, but also a data point to reveal the landscapes of the problem. The swarm intelligence and data mining techniques can be combined to produce benefits above and beyond what either method could achieve alone.<br /><br /> <h4> Topics of Interest</h4> This special session aims at presenting the latest developments of BSO algorithm, as well as exchanging new ideas and discussing the future directions of developmental swarm intelligence.
