EvoINDUSTRY
Evolutionary and Bio-Inspired Computational Techniques within Real-World Industrial and Commercial Environments.
Selected EvoApplications papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of the Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines (2016 Impact Factor: 1.514)
Evolutionary and Bio-Inspired Computation has established itself as a powerful technique for design, search and optimisation with applications in areas such as routing, scheduling, timetabling and planning. There are a number of challenges in moving from academic research to use within industrial environments, these challenges are not only technical, but may also encompass issues such as user interaction and adoption within organisations. EvoIndustry seeks contributions from researchers, developers and industrialists who have utilised Evolutionary Computation within an industrial context.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Case studies on the adoption of Evolutionary Computation within organisations, examining hard and soft issues
- Hybrid methods and novel heuristics developed to solve specific problems
- The handling of real-world soft constraints
- The construction of user interfaces to allow non-experts to use evolutionary based techniques
- Organisation, resource and workforce scheduling
- Scheduling and planning in industrial environments including production planning, transportation and distribution
PUBLICATION DETAILS
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoApplications,
published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science,
which will be available at the Conference. Submissions must be original and
not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least
three members of the program committee. The authors of accepted papers will
have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers comments and will
be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. At least one
author of each accepted work has to register for the conference and attend
the conference and present the work.
This year EvoApplications is accepting two kinds of submission: full papers and short papers. Full papers require novel and complete research work and have a limit of 16 pages. Short papers should present complete research or interesting preliminary results and have a limit of 8 pages. Both types of submission will undergo the same double blind review process and all accepted papers will be included in the LNCS proceedings. All authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to further disseminate their work in poster sessions.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
- Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. They will be
peer reviewed by members of the program committee. The reviewing process
will be double-blind, so please omit information about the authors in the
submitted paper.
- Submit your manuscript in Springer
LNCS format.
- Please provide up to five keywords in your Abstract
- Page limit: 8 pages (short papers) or 16 pages (full papers).

Presentation details
There are two types of presentation:
- Long talk (20 minutes + 5 min questions). Authors can optionally bring a poster to present at the poster session.
- Short talk (10 minutes, no questions). Authors MUST also bring a poster to present at the poster session.
Short papers are only eligible for short talks. Authors of long papers will be notified in advance of the type of presentation (short/long).
