MCDM 2011 - MCDM 2011 2011 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Multicriteria Decision-Making

MCDM 2011
2011 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Multicriteria Decision-Making
The aim of the 2011 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Multicriteria Decision Making (IEEE MCDM 2011) is to bring together engineers, scientists and students from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of computational intelligence applied to issues in multicriteria decision making.

Topics
Topics covered include applications of computational intelligence technologies, such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, and other emerging techniques in the following or similar areas:

Multiobjective Search/Optimization (MOO)
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms
Meta-heuristics (scatter and Tabu search)
Particle swarm optimization
Ant colonies, bacteria optimization, and other heuristic search methods
Multiobjective Machine Learning (MOML)
Accuracy and complexity tradeoff
Accuracy-interpretability, stability-plasticity dilemma
Pareto-based ensemble generation
Pareto-analysis of learning systems
Multiobjective Analysis of Biological Systems
Pareto-approach to life history evolution
Robustness and evolvability
Energy consumption and functional efficiency in neural organization
Bioinformatics (sequence alignment, protein structure prediction, construction of gene regulatory networks, etc.)
Decision Making (DM) Techniques
