Dear Colleagues,
We would like to kindly remind that the submission deadline for the
Special Session on Model Reduction in Multi-Objective and Robust
Design Optimization ，IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2017
(CEC2017), January 16, 2017, is getting closer.
**Important date**
Deadline for contribution paper submission: January 16, 2017.
Notification of acceptance: February 26, 2017
Final paper submission: March 12, 2017
Conference dates:
June 5-8, 2017
IEEE CEC 2017 is a world-class conference that aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation
and computational intelligence from all around the globe. The
special session aims to promote research on theoretical and practical
aspects of multi-objective optimization, surrogate assisted
optimization and robust design optimization, etc.
*Scope and Motivations*
With model reduction, e.g. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD, also
called Principal Components Analysis, PCA) based model reduction,
expenses of optimization process can be greatly reduced. Take the
standard ZDT series test functions for example, it takes around 20
iterations for the MOO with POD model reduction to search the true
Pareto front. The model reduction can also be used in surrogate
assisted optimization and evidence approximation. With model
reduction, surrogate and evidence computation can be constructed on a
reduced data set, thus the sample size can be greatly reduced.
The optimization with model reduction shows advantages over
conventional MOOs and can be potentially extended to the scenarios
such as optimization problems with many objectives. However, to
implement successfully the methods in design optimization with
expensive model under uncertainty, a series of issues such as evidence
approximation, model fidelity management, optimization algorithm and
the strategy to integrate them, etc. should be resolved. We therefore
propose the special issue on Model Reduction in Multi-objective and
Robust Optimization.
**Scope and Topic:**
The session seeks to promote discussion and presentation of related
novel works. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Multi-objective optimization
Many-objective optimization
Robust design optimization
Multi-Fidelity optimization
Uncertainty modeling
Parameter reduction
Data mining in Multi-objective and Many-objective Optimization
Model fidelity management
Surrogate of expensive model
Model reduction in Multi-objective and Many-objective Optimization
Infill strategy of surrogate
Surrogate assisted optimization
Evidence approximation of epistemic uncertainty
Multi-objective robust optimization under uncertainty
Applications of design optimization with prarameter reduction,
particularly the aerospace engineering design
Preliminary space mission design under uncertainty
Multi-objective optimization in preliminary space mission design

The third BeyondMR workshop aims to explore algorithms, computational
models, architectures, languages and interfaces for systems that need
large-scale parallelization and systems designed to support efficient
parallelization and fault tolerance. These include specialized programming
and data-management systems based on MapReduce and extensions, graph
processing systems, data-intensive workflow and dataflow systems.
We invite submissions on topics such as:
Frameworks for Large-Scale Analytical Processing:
- Models, architectures and languages for data processing pipelines,
data-intensive workflows, networks of operations/MapReduce jobs, dataflows,
and data-mashups.
- Analysis of programs for workflow systems, e.g., Spark.
- Expressing and parallelising iterations, incremental iterations, and
programs consisting of large networks of operations.
- Approaches to achieving fault tolerance and to recovering from failures.
Algorithms for Large-Scale Data Processing:
- Methods and techniques for designing efficient algorithms for MapReduce
and similar systems.
- Experiments and experience with new algorithms in these settings.
Cost Models and Optimization Techniques:
- Formal definitions of models that evaluate the efficiency of algorithms
in large-scale parallel processing systems taking into account the
requirements of such systems in different applications.
- Testing and benchmarking of MapReduce extensions and data-intensive
workflows.
Resource Management for Many-Task Computing:
- Scheduling of tasks and load-balancing techniques.
- Study of cases where automatic data distribution in MapReduce and
similar systems does not provide sufficient data balancing.
- Algorithms, methods and frameworks to address data skewness.

BBC 2017 : 10th Workshop on Biomedical and Bioinformatics Challenges
for Computer Science - BBC 2017
Zurich, Switzerland, June 12-14, 2017
https://bbc2017.wordpress.com/
AIMS & SCOPE
================
Emerging technologies in genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics and
other life science areas are generating an increasing amount of
complex data and information. Traditionally, bioinformatics has been
focused on the design of methods and technologies facilitating the
acquisition, storage, organization, archiving, analysis and
visualization of biological and medical data. However, recent changes
related to the emerging technologies have made the role of computer
science (both theoretical and applied aspects) much more critical in
all the bioinformatics research directions.
Computational biology, on the other hand, has emphasized mathematical
and computational techniques facilitating the modelling and simulation
of biomedical processes and systems.
In recent years the distinction between these two fields has become
increasingly blurred. In order to tackle the growing complexity
associated with emerging and future life science challenges,
bioinformatics and computational biology researchers and developers
need to explore, develop and apply novel computational concepts,
methods, tools and systems.
Many of these new approaches are likely to involve advanced and
large-scale computing techniques, computational approaches,
technologies and infrastructures such as:
High-performance architectures and systems (e.g. multicore, GPU);
Distributed computing (e.g. grid, cloud, peer-to-peer, Web services,
e-infrastructures);
Computational simulation (mechanistic, stochastic, multi-model);
Algorithms (theoretical and experimental aspects);
Applied bioinformatics (analysis pipelines, tools, applications);
Artificial and computational intelligence (machine learning, agents,
evolutionary techniques, bio-inspired methods).
Together, these topics cover the key bioinformatics and computational
biology techniques and technologies encountered in modern life science
environments:
Advanced computing architectures/infrastructures
Data/information management and integrationData/information analysis
and knowledge discovery
Integration of quantitative/symbolic knowledge into executable
biomedical "theories" or models.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together computer and life
scientists to discuss emerging and future directions in these areas.
