FIRST ANNUAL WORKSHOP ON METAHEURISTIC DESIGN PATTERNS (MetaDeeP-2014)
to be held as part of the 2014 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Conference (GECCO-2014) Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 12-16, 2014
Organized by ACM SIGEVO http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2014/
PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 28th, 2014
Workshop URL:
http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~jsw/metaheuristic-design-patterns/MDPWorkshop2014.htm
----------------------------------------------------------
You've (presumably) received this email because you're interested in EC
and/or metaheuristics in general:
* Do you have an idea about how metaheuristics could be better
hybridized or generated?
* Have you observed some commonality (e.g. across frameworks or
methodologies) that is not yet widely recognized?
* Are you frustrated when researchers don?t follow best practices that
are well-understood in your field?
If so, then you should attend MetaDeeP 2014 ? the first Workshop on
Metaheuristic Design Patterns.
----------------------------------------------------------
Why Design Patterns?
----------------------------------------------------------
Over the last 20 years, Evolutionary Computation (and meta- and hyper-
heuristics in general) has flourished, spawning an enormous variety of
algorithms, operators and representations.The history of science and
mathematics demonstrates that such proliferation is inevitable in a
growing field, but that in order to progress non-incrementally it is
periodically necessary to obtain a unifying perspective.
Existing EC/metaheuristic frameworks provide a certain level of
abstraction, but these are not generally sufficient to capture
higher-level or cross-cutting concerns such as the automatic design of
metaheuristics "in the large" (c.f. Dijkstra on software componentization).
The "Design Patterns" revolution in 1994 was successful in addressing
analogous issues in the software industry. The default level of
discourse among practitioners was consequently significantly increased,
and today ?factory method? or ?chain of responsibility? are software
engineers? lingua franca, immensely facilitating communication and
design of software systems.
The workshop organizers strongly believe that the EC/metaheuristics
community needs and deserves a corresponding breakthrough. The domain of
metaheuristics has good mathematical and conceptual foundations, so
nothing precludes the creation of a coherent and useful set of concepts
to help move metaheuristics up an abstraction level. For instance,
hyper-heuristics can be considered as the well-known composite pattern
as applied to metaheuristics. Framing recurring methodological and
algorithmic themes in terms of such Metaheuristic Design Patterns (MDP)
has been advocated in a recent lecture [1] and several papers [2,3]?
similar desires have also been expressed elsewhere [4].
This workshop provides a forum for those interested in contributing to
the MDP vision and/or willing to demonstrate its usefulness in practical
and theoretical studies.
----------------------------------------------------------
Topics and Themes
----------------------------------------------------------
The workshop welcomes original submissions on all applications of design
patterns to metaheuristics, which include (but are not limited to) the
following topics and themes:
- Applications of existing design patterns (e.g. from [5]) to
metaheuristics. Some examples are given in [1,4] and on the Workshop
website.
- New metaheuristic design patterns: algorithms and methodologies that
might be expected to be widely applicable but which have not yet been
documented at the appropriate level of abstraction.
- Automation of metaheuristic design via patterns. There is a wealth of
pattern literature in the (Search-Based) Software Engineering community
related to software automation. Much of this is directly applicable to
metaheuristic design.
- Pattern languages for metaheuristics. See [4] for the definitive example.
Further details (and examples) are available at the Workshop website:

The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart
Cities (VTM 2014) (http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/VTM2014/VTM.html)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held in conjunction with The 2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology
Conference (VTC2014-Spring), 18-21 May 2014, Seoul, Korea
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
-----------------------
The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a
plethora of
challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic
congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the
last
decade, researchers from both industry and academia have focused their
efforts
on exploiting advances in sensing and communication technologies to make
the
existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) more efficient.
Their main goal is to improve the traveler?s safety, shorten the travel
time
and reduce the environmental impact.
Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual
traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.)
and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in
order
to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide
accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers
and
authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide
faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic
privileges to emergency vehicles.
This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers
from various research communities, as well as practitioners and
administrators
who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all
welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas,
simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop.
Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Vehicular traffic management
? Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols
for smart cities
? Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments
? Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues)
? Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems
(techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.)
? Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments
? Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms
? Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs
applied to traffic management systems in smart cities
? Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation
? Security and QoS issues for ITS applications
? V2X feasibility over LTE networks
? M2M communication for data collection in road environment
? Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management
? Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas
? Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management
? Decision making tools for road traffic management
? Electric vehicles
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the VTM2014
workshop and made available through IEEE Xplore.
