EPR 2014 - Symposium on Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR) for Engineering and Applied Science

We are pleased to inform you that the Mini-Symposium: “Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR) for Engineering and Applied Sciences”, will be organized in the first edition of the International Conference on Engineering and Applied Science Optimization (OPTI 2014), that will be held in Kos Island, Greece on 4-6 June 2014.
The aim of the Mini-Symposium is to attract state-of-the-art papers that deal with the use of the hybrid data-driven technique called Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR). It combines numerical regression with the effectiveness of multi-objective optimization strategies using genetic algorithms for developing simple and easily interpretable mathematical model expressions.
Instead of its quite recent developing, because of its efficiency in producing closed analytical models to describe real phenomena from experimental data, it has been applied in a number of different topics; EPR was used to investigate performance indicators in water distribution and wastewater networks, scour depths downstream grade-control structures, explicit formulations of Colebrook-White friction factor, rainfall-groundwater dynamics, and other applications in geotechnical and structural engineering.
This MS is intended to exchange experiences in EPR basic concepts, numerical problems and real problems application in engineering and applications and applied sciences. This MS is addressed to top researchers and specialists in the field. It will attract academic staff, researchers and post-graduate students, or even professional engineers and scientist seeking for advanced methodologies in demanding practical problems.
