IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part B
Call for Papers: "Special Issue on Memetic Algorithms"
Important Dates:
Manuscript submission: May 1, 2005
Notification: July 15, 2005
One of the recent growing areas in Evolutionary Algorithm (EAs) research
is Memetic Algorithms (MAs). MAs are population-based meta-heuristic
search methods inspired by Darwinian principles of natural evolution and
Dawkins notion of a meme defined as a unit of cultural evolution that is
capable of local refinements. Recent studies on MAs have revealed their
successes on a wide variety of real world problems. Particularly, they
not only converge to high quality solutions, but also search more
efficiently than their conventional counterparts. In diverse contexts,
MAs are also commonly known as hybrid EAs, Baldwinian EAs, Lamarkian
EAs, cultural algorithms and genetic local search.
The aim of this special issue is to reflect the most recent advances in
the field, and increase the awareness of the computing community at
large on this effective technology. In particular, we endeavor to
demonstrate the current state-of-the-art in the theory and practice of
MAs. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):
§ novel competitive, collaborative and cooperative frameworks of MAs,
§ analytical and/or theoretical studies that enhance our understanding
of the behaviors of MAs,
§ using multiple memes or local searchers or exact methods,
§ adaptive MAs (e.g., meta-Lamarckian and meta-Baldwinian),
§ hybridizations with exact and/or approximate methods,
§ asymptotic global convergence analyses and/or complexity analyses of
MAs,
§ optimization in discrete, continuous and dynamic problems using MAs,
§ multi-objective optimization using MAs,
§ real-world applications of MAs.
All electronic submissions must be made through the Manuscript Central
web site: http://smcb-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/. Manuscripts should
conform to the standard format of the IEEE Transactions on System, Man,
Cybernetic - Part B as indicated in the Information for Authors. Please
also include a note that the paper is intended for the special issue by
either entering author comments to the editor during the submission
process or putting the information on the first page of your submission.
This is crucial to ensuring that your paper is routed correctly.
All enquiries on this special issue should be sent to Dr Yew Soon Ong at
asysong@ntu.edu.sg OR Dr Natalio Krasnogor at
Natalio.Krasnogor@nottingham.ac.uk. Prospective authors are also invited
to send an email to Dr Ong indicating their interest in submitting a
paper and the specific topics addressed.
