Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN LION 5, Jan 17-21, 2011, Rome, Italy



LION 5, Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN,
Rome - Italy, Jan 17-21 201
0

Short call for papers:

The LION conference aims at exploring the intersections between machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematical programming and algorithms for hard optimization problems. The main purpose of the event is to bring together experts from all these areas to present and discuss new ideas, new methods, general trends, challenges and opportunities in applications as well as in research aiming at algorithmic advances. The conference program will consist of plenary presentations, introductory and advanced tutorials, technical presentations, and it will give ample time for discussions.

Scope of the conference

The large variety of heuristic algorithms for hard optimization problems raises numerous interesting and challenging issues. Practitioners are confronted with the burden of selecting the most appropriate method, in many cases through an expensive algorithm configuration and parameter tuning process, and subject to a steep learning curve. Scientists seek theoretical insights and demand a sound experimental methodology for evaluating algorithms and assessing strengths and weaknesses. A necessary prerequisite for this effort is a clear separation between the algorithm and the experimenter, who, in too many cases, is "in the loop" as a crucial intelligent learning component. Both issues are related to designing and engineering ways of "learning" about the performance of different techniques, and ways of using past experience about the algorithm behavior to improve performance in the future. Intelligent learning schemes for mining the knowledge obtained from different runs or during a single run can improve the algorithm development and design process and simplify the applications of high-performance optimization methods. Combinations of algorithms can further improve the robustness and performance of the individual components provided that sufficient knowledge of the relationship between problem instance characteristics and algorithm performance is obtained.

IJCAI-11 22nd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence

Call for papers

The IJCAI-11 Program Committee invites submissions of technical papers for IJCAI-11, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, July 19-22, 2011. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on all aspects of artificial intelligence.

The theme of IJCAI-11 is “Integrated and Embedded Artificial Intelligence” (IEAI) with a focus on artificial intelligence that crosses discipline boundaries within AI, and between AI and other disciplines. Building systems often requires techniques from more than one area (e.g. both machine learning and natural language processing, or both planning and preference representation). In addition, larger systems often have AI components embedded within that provide intelligent functionalities such as learning and reasoning. The conference will include a special track dedicated to such work.

website: http://www.icec.ijcci.org

24 - 26 October 2010
Valencia - Spain

Dear Colleague,

ICEC welcomes the submission of position papers.
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper".
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support and will be also available at the SciTePress Digital Library. BNQL

Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any questions.

Parallel Evolutionary Systems (PES) track at GECCO 2010

============================================================
Call for Papers
Parallel Evolutionary Systems (PES) track
GECCO 2010
Portland, Oregon, USA July 7-10, 2010
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2010/
============================================================


This track in GECCO aims at developing the cross-fertilization of knowledge between evolutionary algorithms (metaheuristics in general) and parallelism. Parallel algorithms represent a very important topic in all international research programs, and virtually any algorithm can profit from parallelism to create efficient optimization and learning tools capable of unseen performance in complex problems.

Working in two domains of research is at the same time difficult and fruitful. Knowing on parallelism and networking helps in creating parallel algorithms for clusters or grids of computers. However, it also needs a careful definition of proper benchmarks, software tools, and metrics to measure the behavior of algorithms in a meaningful and standard way. In concrete, a conceptual separation between physical parallelism and decentralized algorithms (whether implemented in parallel or not) is needed to analyze the resulting algorithms.

This track is expected to collect a set of high quality contributions to the theory and the application of techniques born from the crossover of traditional parallelism and metaheuristics. Articles are wanted to provide significant results to problem solving (efficiency and also accuracy) and be methodologically well-founded. Also, the hardware used for running parallel algorithms is a target, in order to analyze how it can be used to provide better optimization and learning techniques.

This track includes (but not limits) topics concerning the design, implementation, software, hardware, and application of parallel evolutionary algorithms, and also parallel metaheuristics in general: ACO, PSO, VNS, SS, SA, EDAs, TS, ES, GP, GRASP… As a guide, contributions are welcomed in the following areas:

• Parallel evolutionary algorithms
• Parallel metaheuristics
• Master/slave models
• Massively parallel algorithms
• Parallel algorithms on Graphical Processing Units (GPUs)
• SIMD/MIMD and FPGA parallelization
• Distributed and shared memory parallel algorithms
• Multicore execution of parallel algorithms
• Concurrent algorithms with several threads of execution
• Algorithms running in clusters of machines
• Grid/cloud computing
• Peer to peer (P2P) algorithms
• Ad-hoc and mobile networks for parallel algorithms
• Parallel software frameworks/libraries
• Theory on decentralized and parallel algorithms
• Parallel test benchmarks
• Parallel hybrid/memetic algorithms
• Parallel multiobjective algorithms
• Self-adaptive parallel algorithms
• Parallel algorithms and dynamic optimization problems (DOP)
• Algorithms and tools for helping in designing new parallel algorithms
• Competitive/cooperative parallel algorithms and agents
• Statistical assessment of performance for parallel algorithms
• Unified view of parallel approaches and results
• Real-world applications in telecoms, bioinformatics, engineering...

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of GECCO 2010.
