CALL FOR PAPERS – SPECIAL ISSUE
Advances in metaheuristics for hard optimization: new trends and case studies
Deadline for paper proposals: May 15, 2009.
Expected publication date: March 2010.
AIM & SCOPE
In recent years, metaheuristics have become important tools for solving hard optimization problems encountered in industry as well as in the theoretical field. Many different metaheuristics exist (and new ones are under constant development). Some of the most famous ones are Evolutionary Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing, GRASP, Ant Systems, Memetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization,...This special issue aims at bringing together outstanding research and recent developments in the field of metaheuristics and their applications in the industrial world.
The topics of this special issue include but are not limited to methodological developments aimed at adapting some metaheuristics to various industrial problems, which handle continuous variables, or miscellaneous continuous and discrete variables; theoretical and experimental studies on metaheuristics, e.g., convergence analysis, performance evaluation methodology, test-case generators, constraint handling, etc.; software implementations and algorithms for metaheuristics; real-life applications of metaheuristics; performance comparisons of metaheuristics with competing approaches; new metaheuristics; hybrid metaheuristics; metaheuristics for dynamic optimization.
We encourage submissions from academia or submissions from practitioners describing real case studies. The aim of this CFP is then to focus on new trends and case studies. Both highly prospective and technical (industrial feasibility) papers are welcomed but have to suit to Elsevier standards.
Scientific areas (not limited to):
Convergence analysis
New metaheuristics, especially hybrid metaheuristics
Adaptation of metaheuristics to mixed discrete-continuous variable problems
Statistical techniques for comparison of competing metaheuristics
Metaheuristics for dynamic optimization
Application domain (not limited to):
Real-life applications
Test-case generators
Constraint handling
Parallel implementations
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Full papers can be submitted to: http://ees.elsevier.com/eaai
During the submission process, please select special issue on 'Metaheuristics' as paper category.
Please submit papers until May 15, 2009.
The special issue is planned to be published in March 2010.
