We are organizing a workshop "Evolutionary computation and its applications" hosted at UIC 2018 in Guangzhou, China. You are welcome to submit your work and come to enjoy the conference! Submission deadline is: July 5, 2018.
Accepted papers will be included in the UIC2018 proceedings published by IEEE (submitted to the IEEE-DL, and EI index).
Evolutionary Computation (EC) is a class of meta-heuristic search algorithms inspired by nature evolution. Typical ECs include Genetic Algorithm (GA), Genetic Programming (GP), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution (DE), and Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA). In the past decades, EC has undergone a rapid development and many improved EC variants have been proposed. The applications of ECs are also multiplying fast, including continuous optimization, combinatorial optimization, classification, time series prediction, evolutionary multi-objective optimization. The objective of this workshop is to reflect the recent developments of EC and its applications in sensor networks, smart cities, and others.
The main topics include but are not limited to:
Genetic Algorithm.
Differential Evolution.
Particle Swarm Optimization.
Genetic Programming.
Ant Colony Optimization.
Parallelization of EC.
Multi-objective EC.
Multi-tasking EC.
Memetic EC.
Cooperative Co-evolutionary EC.
Theoretical analysis of EC.
Applications of EC.
