Aims & Scope

The HM Workshops are intended to be an international forum for
researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental
evaluation of metaheuristics. Metaheuristics, such as simulated
annealing, evolutionary algorithms, tabu search, ant colony
optimization, scatter search and iterated local search, are
considered state-of-the-art methods for many problems. In
recent years, however, it has become evident that the
concentration on a sole metaheuristic is rather restrictive. A
skilled combination of concepts from different optimization
techniques can provide a more efficient behavior and a higher
flexibility when dealing with real-world and large-scale
problems.

Hybrid Metaheuristics are such techniques for optimization that
combine different metaheuristics or integrate AI/OR techniques
into metaheuristics. Previously organized Workshops were held
in Ischia Island (HM 2013), Vienna (HM 2010), Udine (HM 2009),
Malaga (HM 2008), Dortmund (HM 2007), Gran Canaria (HM 2006),
Barcelona (HM 2005), and Val?ncia (HM 2004).

HM2014 is organized as a non-profit event.

************************************************************************

Topics of Interest

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but
not limited to:

- Novel combinations of components from different metaheuristics
- Hybridization of metaheuristics and AI/OR techniques
- Low-level hybridization
- High-level hybridization, portfolio techniques, expert systems
- Cooperative search
- Automated parameter tuning
- Empirical and statistical comparison
- Theoretical aspects of hybridization
- Parallelization
- Software libraries

Motivation ?
Demographic change and increasing health expenditures in the world make the
healthcare delivery research a hot topic. Hospitals in the world are
becoming larger and larger to take advantage of the scale economic but also
become more and more complex to design and to operate. Aging population
makes chronic diseases increasingly important and leads to the need of
better disease prevention, diagnostic, treatment planning and proactive
cares. Patients are more and more concerned by healthcare safety and
traceability. Healthcare systems are also changing and new health services
such as home healthcare and telemedicine are growing. Most hospitals used to
empiric management are not prepared for and innovative systems engineering
approaches are needed.

Recent development of advance medical technologies makes the systems
engineering approach possible. The increasing availability of healthcare
relevant data makes possible better disease prevention, diagnostic and
healthcare system operations. Automation technologies such as robotics and
ICT technologies are making healthcare logistics more efficient and safer.
Innovative operations research techniques have been developed for a wide
range of healthcare applications such as operating room planning, emergency
department staffing, breast cancer screening, radiotherapy treatment
planning, home healthcare planning, long-term care planning and scheduling,

Scope and Topics ?
The goal of this IJPR special issue is to provide a comprehensive view of
health services improvement by systems engineering approaches such as
operations research, industrial engineering and control theories. It
includes, but not limited to, the following topics:

Healthcare delivery planning and scheduling
Hospital logistics & supply chain management
Health information analytics
Healthcare safety and traceability
Work-force staffing and planning
Emergency Department Models
Disease modelling and prevention
Clinical pathways and workflow modelling
Emergency response planning and evaluation
Home healthcare

IMPORTANT DATES:

EXTENDED Submission Deadline for LNCS: 20 January 2014
Notification of authors: 3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions: 31 March 2014

FUNDING and AWARDS:

CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS. Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.

The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.

CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005),
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta
Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).

The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special
focus on relations between computational linguistics, natural and
biological computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory.
This is to be understood in its broadest sense including computational
aspects of problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and
algorithms inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as
exhibiting limits (and non-limits) of computability when considering
different models of computation arising from such approaches.

As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new
computational paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with
respect to practical applications and a deeper theoretical understanding.
We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts
of the research community.

For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as
bioinformatics and natural computation, where they have a basic connection
with computability.
