(apologies for multiple postings):
Dear Colleagues
You are invited to present work in the area of hyper-heuristics (or
adaptive control of search in general) in the hyper-heuristics stream,
in the Metaheuristics and Matheuristics area, at the IFORS conference in
Barcelona in July 2014 (http://ifors2014.org/).
All contributions are most welcome. Some ideas for topics that
could be addressed are, but not limited to:
- hyper-heuristics interfaces and their roles within general
optimisation frameworks
- general control of search and meta-heuristics
- applications of hyper-heuristics (or similar methods) to optimisation
problems
- automated support for the generation of heuristics (including genetic
programming, etc)
- control of algorithm configuration and parameters
To submit an abstract, please visit http://ifors2014.upc.edu/abstract
Your abstract can contain up to 600 characters (but no mathematical
notation).
(For anyone unfamiliar with IFORS/EURO conferences, no paper is
required in order to give a talk only submission of the very short
abstract).
To submit to one of the following invited sessions, please use the given
session invitation code:
Session: Hyperheuristics: Interfaces, Implementations and Applications
Chairs: Shahriar Asta and Daniel Karapetyan
Invitation code: : f9612ae1

Fuller descriptions for the sessions:
Title: Hyperheuristics: Interfaces, Implementations and Applications
Chairs: Shahriar Asta and Daniel Karapetyan
Session invitation code: : f9612ae1
Description:
Abstracts are sought in the area of Hyperheuristics. Suggested
categories (but not limited to):
- Cross-domain benchmark platforms
- Reusable frameworks
- Open source and cross-platform implementations
- Parallel and concurrent implementations
- Practical and theoretical applications
- Case studies
- New problem domains and instance sets
- Hyperheuristics vs. metaheuristics
- Problem representation
Title: Algorithm Configuration: black, white and gray box
Chair: Patrick De Causmaecker
Session invitation code: 6c079914
Description:
The task of automated (off-line) algorithm configuration includes
finding a good parameter configuration for an algorithm based on some
performance measure and a problem instance distribution. This could be
considered as an expensive optimization problem. Currently, most
algorithms treat the target (configured) algorithm as a black-box, i.e.,
only the final result of each run of the target algorithm on a problem
instance is taken into account. If we "open the box", we could have a
gray-box or even a white-box configuration problem. An example of a
gray-box configuration problem could be the case when the target
algorithm is local search, and the collected information is the solution
obtained after each iteration. The box could be considered whiter when
more detail of the algorithm is used. We invite speakers to present
initial or advanced research concerning this issue.

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.

Dear colleague,
We would like to invite you to submit a paper for publication in a special
issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics dedicated to the topics of the
recent workshop held in Santorini, Greece on October 9-11, 2013: Sixth
Workshop on Graph Classes, Optimization, and Width Parameters (GROW 2013).
The workshop was the most recent in the series initiated twelve years ago
in Barcelona (Bellaterra) and continued in Prague in 2005, Eugene in 2007,
Bergen in 2019, and Daejeon in 2011. The first four meetings resulted in
publication of special issues DAM 160(6), DAM 145(2), DAM 157(12), and DAM
158(7). The special issue of DAM dedicated to the fifth workshop is about
to hit the presses and will appear in early 2014.
The authorship of papers submitted to this special issue is not limited to
the participants of the Santorini workshop; this invitation is being sent
to all those who were invited to the workshop. We hope to include other
recent results in these research areas, as well. As it was the case of the
previous issues, all submissions will be duly refereed with the usual high
standards.
The submission deadline is March 1, 2014.
Please submit your paper through the web page:
http://ees.elsevier.com/dam/
If you have used this system before, you can use your existing login name
and password for this submission; otherwise you will need to create an
account.
After logging in, the first thing you are asked to do is to select an
article type. Please be sure to select:
"SI:DAM_GROW 2013 Santorini"
from the list that appears for "Choose an article type". And then follow
the instructions on the following pages. Please do not forget to approve
the pdf file that is created at the end of your session.
We are looking forward to receiving your paper! Please end us a brief
message letting us know your intentions by mid January.
