Theme
In the era of big data and Internet of Things (IoT), optimization problems in research domains and engineering are becoming more and more complicated with properties like thousands of variables and high computational burden. Encountering such difficult optimization problems, traditional evolutionary computation techniques executed in sequential would not afford satisfactory solutions in acceptable time. In this situation, distributed and parallel evolutionary computation techniques are critically important for responding fast to these optimization tasks in various areas. Even distributed evolutionary computation methods could make it possible to response to online or real-time optimization tasks, such as intelligent transportation scheduling.
This special session aims to demonstrate how distributed evolutionary computation techniques have contributed, and are contributing to the advancement of evolutionary computation research. It prefers a large scope of submissions, which develop and adopt distributed evolutionary computation techniques to tackle optimization tasks in various areas. In addition, the researchers can exchange their innovative ideas on distributed evolutionary computation techniques by submitting manuscripts to this special session.
Scope
Since complex optimization problems exist in various research domains and engineering areas, all papers that develop and employ distributed evolutionary computation techniques are welcomed. The scope of the special session includes, but is not limited to the following topics:
Distributed evolutionary computation algorithms
Distributed swarm intelligence and agent-based systems
Theoretical basis of distributed evolutionary algorithms
Highly scalable distributed evolutionary computation techniques
Cloud-based evolutionary computation techniques
GPU-based evolutionary computation techniques
Distributed evolutionary big data optimization
Applications of distributed evolutionary computation algorithms
Mobile evolutionary computation techniques
