EMO 2011 - The 6th International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization

EMO meetings include the following types of sessions:

? Invited keynote lectures
? Invited tutorial sessions
? Selected technical talks assigned to single track plenary sessions
? Selected talks assigned to interactive poster sessions

Papers related to theory and methodology, presenting contributions to the methodology of EMO and to its theoretical foundations, as well as papers describing innovative applications of EMO, presenting novel ways to solve real problems, are suitable for submission to the conference.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

? Algorithmic aspects of evolutionary-based algorithms
? Constraint handling
? Diversity preservation, elitism techniques
? Interactive EMO
? Handling high number of objectives and/or decision variables
? Handling costly functions
? Theoretical analysis of EMO algorithms
? Test problems, performance metrics and comparative studies
? Parallel algorithm issues
? Hybridization with other techniques
? Nature-inspired methods (such as particle swarm, EDAs, differential evolution, or immunological algorithms)
? Local search techniques
? OR methods (such as GRASP, TABU, or VNS/ILS)
? Surrogate functions
? Constructive metaheuristics
? MCDA/MCDM
? Real-world applications
? Production, Manufacturing and Logistics
? Engineering design
? Financial applications
? Bioinformatics and health
? Computational intelligence and information management

Authors are invited to submit original, full-length papers (maximum 15 pages) in PDF format. EMO 2011 submissions must be made electronically via the Conference Website. The Proceedings of the conference will be published as a volume of Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Formatting details and templates will be available soon.
