EvoNUM 2010 - Bio-inspired algorithms for continuous parameter optimisation
part of the Evo* 2010 EvoApplications Conference
Istanbul, Turkey, 7-9 April 2010
------------
__Introduction_
Many engineering problems of both theoretical and practical interest
involve choosing the best configuration of a set of parameters to
achieve a specified objective. Numerical optimisation refers to the
case when these parameters take continuous real values, as opposed to
combinatorial optimisation, which deals with discrete values. Examples
include designing production processes for maximum efficiency, optimal
parameter adjustment for controllers and many others. EvoNUM focuses
on such problems.
We seek high quality papers involving the application of bio-inspired
algorithms (genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution
strategies, differential evolution, particle swarm optimization,
evolutionary programming, simulated annealing... and their hybrids) to
continuous optimisation problems in engineering. We also welcome
cross-fertilisation between Nature-inspired algorithms and more
classical numerical optimisation algorithms.
EvoNUM deals with engineering applications where continuous parameters
or functions have to be optimised, in fields such as control,
chemistry, agriculture, electricity, building and construction,
energy, aerospace engineering, design optimisation.
The workshop will be part of Evo* 2010, a joint event which will
incorporate EuroGP 2010, the 13th European Conference on Genetic
Programming, EvoCOP 2010, the 10th European Conference on Evolutionary
Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation, EvoBIO 2010, the 8th
Conference on Evolutionary Bioinformatics, and EvoApplications 2010,
the European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary
Computation.

__Submission details and additional information_
Submit your manuscript, at most 10 A4 pages long, in Springer LNCS
format (instructions are downloadable from:
http://www.springer
using the online submission service no later than 4 November 2009.
The papers will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the
program committee. Authors will be notified via email on the results
of the review by December 2009.
The authors of accepted papers may have to improve their paper on the
basis of the reviewers' comments and will be asked to send a camera
ready version of their manuscripts, including all source files (text
and images), by January 2010. All accepted papers will appear in the
workshop proceedings, published in the Springer LNCS series, which
will be available at the workshop.
The authors of papers that receive the best reviews will be nominated
for the 'Best paper Award'.
__Important Dates__
