Special Issue on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization
OBJECTIVES:
In this special issue we invite contributions in both theoretical development and applications of hierarchical optimization in areas of engineering and applied science. We expect this special issue to be a collection of high quality research contributions and advances in application of evolutionary computation and methods to combinatorial optimization problems.
TOPICS:
Topics include but are not limited to:
? Applications of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimization problems
? Novel application domains for metaheuristic optimisation methods
? Variation operators for stochastic search methods
? Constraint-handling techniques
? Hybrid methods and hybridization techniques
? Parallelization
? Comparisons between different (also exact) techniques
? Automated tuning of metaheuristics using machine learning, evolutionary and other approaches
? Evolutionary multi-objective and dynamic optimization
? Computational complexity
? Constraint satisfaction
? Crew scheduling
? Cutting and packing
? Exact and approximation algorithms
? Frequency assignment
? Graphs
? Heuristic and Meta-heuristic methods
? Integer programming
? Network design
? Production and logistics scheduling
? Timetabling
? Vehicle routing and scheduling
