*Scope:*
In many engineering design applications, the evaluation of candidate solutions often requires computer simulation and/or physical experiments. One cannot directly apply traditional evolutionary algorithms since simulation and experiments can be very expensive or inaccurate. Thus simulation techniques and modeling methods need to be carefully designed and appropriately embedded in evolutionary algorithm frameworks. Recently, simulation model based evolutionary computation has been becoming a very active research area. This special session aims at bringing researchers who are interested in this area together to review the current state-of-art, exchange the latest ideas and explore future directions.
Topics of interests include but not limited to:
- New evolutionary algorithm framework for simulation based optimization.
- Surrogate models and statistical machine learning for simulation based EC.
- Techniques for handling uncertainty in simulation based EC.
- Techniques for handling multiple objectives in simulation based EC.
- Techniques for handling expensiveness in simulation based EC.
-
Advanced
- Parallel simulation based evolutionary algorithms.
- Novel applications in engineering design, economics and other areas.
- Theory of simulation based evolutionary algorithms.
*Important Dates:*
