CFP on Evolutionary Algorithms in Artificial Intelligent Systems, open access special issue
by Valentina Franzoni 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Deadline: 31 December 2020 Journal Mathematics (indexed on Scopus, WoS, JCR) https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Artificial_Intellig… Dear Colleagues, Evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics are widely used to provide efficient and effective approximate solutions to computationally hard optimization problems. Successful early applications of the evolutionary computational approach can be found in the field of numerical optimization, while they have now become pervasive in applications for planning, scheduling, transportation and logistics, vehicle routing, packing problems, etc. With the widespread use of intelligent systems in recent years, evolutionary algorithms have been applied, beyond classical optimization problems, as components of intelligent systems for supporting tasks and decisions in the fields of machine vision, natural language processing, parameters optimization for neural networks (neuroevolution), and features selection in machine learning systems. Moreover, they are also applied in areas like complex networks dynamics, evolution and trend detection in social networks, emergent behaviour in multiagent systems and adaptive evolutionary user interfaces, to mention a few. In these systems, the evolutionary components are integrated into the overall architecture and they provide services, e.g., pattern matching services, to the specific algorithmic solutions. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together recent theoretical and applicative research advancements in the area of evolutionary algorithms as components of intelligent systems, with a focus on solutions and methodologies that can be reused to solve subclasses of problems recurring in intelligent applications. Contributions are welcome on theoretical models and applications to intelligent systems of evolutionary algorithms for, but not limited to, single-objective and multiobjective optimization, numerical continuous nonlinear optimization, combinatorial optimization, graph matching and pattern matching, agents, and automata optimization. Evolutionary paradigms to be considered, non-exhaustively, include continuous and discrete differential evolution, genetic algorithms, memetic and foraging schemes, online evolutionary algorithms, genetic programming, co-evolution mechanisms, artificial immune systems, swarm-based approaches, ant colony optimization, and, more generally, nature and bio-inspired metaheuristics. The selection criteria will be primarily based on the formal and technical soundness, the experimental support, and the relevance of the contribution and its impact on the reusability of the results for solving subgroups of problems recurring in a class of intelligent applications.

Kind regards ========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 7th Special Session on High Performance Computing for Application Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2020) As part of the International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2020) http://hpcs2020.cisedu.info/ or http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs20 Barcelona, Spain (Virtual/Online event) ========================================================================== Benchmarking is an essential aspect of modern high performance computing and computational science, and as such, it provides a means for quantifying and comparing the performance of different computer systems. With a large combination of aspects to benchmark, all the way from the capability of a single core, to cluster configuration, and to various software configurations, the benchmarking process is more of an art than science. However, the results of this process drive modern science and are vital for the community to draw sensible conclusions on the performance of applications and systems. This special session focuses on research work aimed at benchmarking modern parallel and distributed systems for addressing a number of real world problems. As such, contributions concerning the definition of new open platforms, new benchmarks to match modern architectural evolutions, studies on the aspects of benchmarking different aspects of systems (from raw runtime performance to energy consumption to energy consumed per data movement) and mathematical foundations of benchmarking are sought.
