2014 TARRAGONA INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON TRENDS IN COMPUTING
SSTiC 2014
Tarragona, Spain
July 7-11, 2014
Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University
http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/
*********************************************************************

AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.
SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.
REGIME:
In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:

**** CEC Special Session at IEEE WCCI 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS ****
Heuristic Methods for Multi-Component Optimization Problems
CEC Special Session at IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence
(WCCI 2014)
July 6 - 11, 2014, Beijing International Convention Center, Beijing, China
http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~optlog/CEC2014/
** Motivation **
Real-world optimization problems often consist of several NP-hard
combinatorial optimization problems that interact with each other. Such
multi-component optimization problems are difficult to solve not only
because of the contained hard optimization problems, but in particular,
because of the interdependencies between the different components.
Interdependence complicates a decision making by forcing each sub-problem to
influence the quality and feasibility of solutions of the other
sub-problems. This influence might be even stronger when one sub-problem
changes the data used by another one through a solution construction
process. Examples of multi-component problems are vehicle routing problems
under loading constraints, the maximizing material utilization while
respecting a production schedule, the relocation of containers in a port
while minimizing idle times of ships, and the traveling thief problem.
The goal of this special session is to provide a forum for researchers in
computational intelligence working on multi-component optimization problems.
While the main focus of this session is evolutionary computation, other
approaches as well as combinations with fuzzy systems or neural networks are
highly welcome, too. The scope of this special session is very broad and
includes all topics related to multi-component problems.
** Paper Submission **
Follow the IEEE CEC 2014 submission website
http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2014/upload.php.
On the submission system you must select "SS23. EC23: Heuristic Methods for
Multi-Component Optimization Problems" as "Main Research Topic".
Special session papers are treated in the same way as regular conference
papers.
** Important dates **
* Paper submissions: January 20, 2014
* Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2014
* Final paper submission: April 15, 2014
** Scope **
Topics include (but are not limited to):
* Applications of evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence methods to
multi-component problems
* Benchmark design
* Hybrid approaches (including fuzzy systems and neural networks) for
multi-component problems
* Industrial applications
* Theoretical investigations
** Special Session Organizers **
* Sergey Polyakovskiy
* Markus Wagner
* Mohammad Reza Bonyadi
* Frank Neumann
* Zbignew Michalewicz
