Scope Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms is getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real world problems involving complexity, noisy environment, imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness.
A fundamental stimulus to the investigations of hybrid optimization techniques is the awareness that combined approaches will be necessary to solve some of the real world problems. The main scope of this special session is to develop novel hybrid architectures or to exploit the existing ones. Topics of interest include but not limited to:
• Neural networks assisted evolutionary computation • Fuzzy system assisted evolutionary computation • Rough sets assisted evolutionary computation • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with particle swarm optimization • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with other global optimization techniques (simulated annealing, Tabu search, GRASP etc.) • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with bacterial foraging • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with molecular computing (DNA computing and membrane computing) • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with quantum computing • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with optical computing • Hybridization of evolutionary algorithms with other bionics
This session is also oriented towards real world applications where a direct approach might fail. Topics of interest include but not limited to:
• Multiobjective optimization applications • Financial modeling • Intrusion detection and cryptography • NP hard problems • Bioinformatics • Data mining • Knowledge management • Natural language processing • Image processing • Nonlinear network problems • Planning and scheduling • Brain-computer interface technologies
