CALL FOR PAPERS
2016 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2016)
EVOLUTIONARY COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION AND METAHEURISTICS (ECOM) TRACK
20-24 July 2016, Denver, Colorado, USA
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2016/
*******************************************************************************
The ECOM track at GECCO 2016 aims to provide a forum for the presentation and
discussion of high-quality research on metaheuristics for combinatorial
optimization problems. Challenging problems from a broad range of applications,
including logistics, network design, bioinformatics, engineering and business
have been tackled successfully with metaheuristic approaches. In many cases,
the resulting algorithms represent the state-of-the-art for solving these
problems. In addition to evolutionary algorithms, the class of metaheuristics
includes prominent generic problem solving methods, such as tabu search,
iterated local search, variable neighborhood search, memetic algorithms,
simulated annealing, GRASP and ant colony optimization.
The ECOM track encourages original submissions on all aspects of evolutionary
combinatorial optimization and metaheuristics, including, but not limited to:
* Applications of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimization problems
* Theoretical developments in combinatorial optimization and metaheuristics
* Representation techniques
* Neighborhoods and efficient algorithms for searching them
* Variation operators for stochastic search methods
* Search space and landscape analysis
* Comparisons between different techniques (including exact methods)
* Constraint-handling techniques
* Hybrid methods, adaptive hybridization techniques and memetic computing
* Hyper-heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems
* Characteristics of problems and problem instances
IMPORTANT DATES:
27 January 2016 Abstract submission
3 February 2016 Full paper submission (hard deadline)
20-24 July 2016 GECCO 2016 Conference in Denver, Colorado, USA

Fully-funded Doctoral Scholarship in Computing/Computer Science at European University Cyprus
The Astrophysics and High Performance Computing group (http://ahpc.euc.ac.cy/) of the Computer Science and Engineering of European University Cyprus is delighted to invite applications for a fully-funded PhD scholarship in Computing/Computer Science. The group is involved in a number of prestigious projects including the FP7 funded project 'Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project' (HELP) and has an extensive network of collaborators in some of the best universities in Europe and the world. The work will involve the exploitation of computational and high performance techniques for the efficient modelling of the spectral energy distributions of large samples of galaxies which will be made available through HELP and other projects.
The group has extensive experience in developing the models which will be used in this project and their application for addressing a number of problems in extragalactic astrophysics. To address the aims of the project the PhD candidate will make extensive use of algorithmic and high performance computing techniques implemented and run on supercomputing facilities which are accessible by the AHPC group and gain experience in this area. The position is suitable for candidates with a background in Computing/Computer Science but also a background in Physical Sciences, Mathematics or Engineering.
For enquiries interested candidates should contact Dr Vicky Papadopoulou Lesta (v.papadopoulou@euc.ac.cy) or Prof. Andreas Efstathiou (a.efstathiou@euc.ac.cy). The deadline for applications is 15th December 2015 and the application procedure is described at http://bit.ly/1OnyXHs.
Requirements:
. Very good university degree (Master or equivalent) in Computer Science or Physical Sciences or Mathematics or Engineering
. Solid skills in programming, software development and in algorithm design and analysis
. Very good mathematical background especially in numerical methods
. Self-motivation, team spirit and willingness to work in interdisciplinary projects
. Knowledge of parallel programming (in particular OpenMP) will be considered an advantage but is not a requirement
