METAHEURISTICS FOR COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION AND MODELLING COMPLEX SYSTEMS

Contents of the session

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

Usually, real world problems are highly complex as they involve imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness in their data and measurements. Because of their inherent complexity and uncertainty they usually can not be modeled with one only technique, and multiple methods are needed.

This session is concerned with the new metaheuristics in HAIS, specially those applied to combinatorial optimization and modeling complex systems. The list that follows details the main topics:

Topics:

  • Applications of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimization problems (COP)
  • Metaheuristics for the analysis and design of complex systems (CS)
  • Modelling complex systems using hybrid methods
  • Emergent nature inspired metaheuristics
  • Novel application domains for metaheuristics
  • Fuzzy logic and HAIS in CS
  • Metaheuristics applied to real world applications
  • Theoretical issues of uncertainty in HAIS
  • Theoretical issues of combinatorial optimization in HAIS
  • Genetic Fuzzy Systems and Evolutionary Systems challenges for the next generation of HAIS

Every submitted paper to HAIS'11 will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Accepted contributions are to be published in the HAIS'11 Proceedings. Moreover, the authors of the best accepted papers will be invited to revise and extend their contributions for publication in a fast track number of the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH (http://www.ijcir.com/). NOTICE: At least one author of each accepted paper must register in order for the paper to be included in the HAIS 2011 Proceedings.
