International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems

Hybrid Metaheuristics for Combinatorial Optimization and Modelling Complex Systems

  • Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems (HAIS) have been engaged in recent years to obtain better models and address complex problems by means of the combination and association of several different techniques from artificial intelligence such as neuro-fuzzy systems, genetic fuzzy systems, fuzzy experts systems, swarm intelligence techniques, evolutionary models, multi-agent systems, etc.

    Complexity, emergence and self-organization represent essential aspects of today's world real systems. The study and in-depth analysis of these elements needs computational perspectives able to significantly impact the study of complexity and the solving process of dynamic complex problems. Furthermore, real-world complex problems usually involve imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness in their data and measurements. Because of their inherent complexity and uncertainty they usually can not be modeled with only one technique, and multiple/hybrid methods are needed.


    This session is concerned with the new metaheuristics in HAIS, particularly those applied to combinatorial optimization and modeling complex systems.

    Topics include, but are not limited to:
    1. Emergent nature inspired metaheuristics
    2. Aplications of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimization problems (COP)
    3. Metaheuristics for the analysis and design of complex systems (CS)
    4. Modelling complex systems using hybrid methods
    5. Novel application domains for metaheuristics
    6. Fuzzy logic and HAIS in CS
    7. Hybrid metaheuristics applied to real world applications
    8. Theoretical issues of uncertainty in HAIS
    9. Theoretical issues of combinatorial optimization in HAIS
    10. Genetic Fuzzy Systems and Evolutionary Systems challenges for the next generation of HAIS
