** Apologies for multiple postings **


*****************************************************************************
*** CALL FOR PAPERS
*** 2014 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2014)
* Evolutionary Combinatorial Optimization and Metaheuristics (ECOM) Track
*** July 12-16, 2014, Vancouver, Canada
*** Organized by ACM SIGEVO
*** http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2014
*****************************************************************************

** Track Description **

The aim of this track is to provide a forum for high quality research
on metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization problems. Plenty of
hard problems in a wide variety of areas, including logistics, network
design, bioinformatics, engineering, business, etc., have been tackled
successfully with metaheuristic approaches. For many problems, the
resulting algorithms are considered to be state-of-the-art.
Apart from evolutionary algorithms, the class of metaheuristics includes
prominent members such as tabu search, iterated local search, variable
neighborhood search, memetic algorithms, simulated annealing, GRASP,
ant colony optimization and others.

** Scope **

The Evolutionary Combinatorial Optimization and Metaheuristics (ECOM)
Track welcomes submissions of original and unpublished work concerning
applications or the theory of all kinds of metaheuristics for
combinatorial optimization problems. Topics include (but are not
limited to):


* Applications of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimization problems
including multi-objective, stochastic and dynamic problems.
* In-depth experimental analysis and comparisons of metaheuristics or exact methods
* Theoretical developments in combinatorial optimization and metaheuristics
* Engineering of metaheuristic algorithms and automatic configuration
* Representation techniques
* Neighborhoods and efficient algorithms for searching them
* Variation operators for stochastic search methods
* Search space analysis
* Comparisons between different (also exact) techniques
* Constraint-handling techniques
* Hybrid methods, adaptive hybridization techniques and memetic computing methodologies
* Insight into problem characteristics of problem classes

Each paper will be rigorously evaluated in a double-blind review process.
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of GECCO 2014,
which will be published by ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).

** Important Dates **

January 15, 2014 - Abstract submission
January 29, 2014 - Submission of full papers (strict, non-extensible deadline)
March 12, 2014 - Notification of paper acceptance
April 14, 2014 - Camera ready submission
July 12-16, 2014 - GECCO 2014 Conference in Vancouver, Canada

Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (JSAN)

Special Issue "Underwater Sensor Networks"

http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/special_issues/usn

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 March 2014

----------------------------------------------------


=== SPECIAL ISSUE ===

New advances in information technologies, circuits, systems and communication protocols have made possible the deployment of underwater sensor networks. These issues have lead researchers to propose new underwater sensor nodes, sensor node placement, protocols for their communication, architectures, and study new ways to communicate with higher bandwidth at higher distances. Moreover, the range of underwater applications is growing fast because of the last research in oceanography, marine science and aquiculture, so there is a need of underwater sensor networks in order to support these disciplines.

This special Issue is tries to collect unpublished works on theory and practice on underwater sensor networks, with special interest on real implementations and deployments. We also seek new proposals on wireless communication technologies.


=== KEYWORDS ===

The Special Issue "Underwater Sensor Networks" topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Underwater sensor nodes
- Underwater sensor node placement
- Routing protocols for underwater sensor networks
- Underwater communications
- Underwater architectures
- Underwater wireless communications
- Underwater sensor network deployments


=== SUBMISSION ===

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form (http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/?journal=jsan). Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks is an international peer-reviewed Open Access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/instructions) before submitting a manuscript. For the first couple of issues the Article Processing Charge (APC) will be waived for well-prepared manuscripts. English correction and/or formatting fees of 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) will be charged in certain cases for those articles accepted for publication that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.
