2019 The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 13-17 July 2019, Prague, Czech Republic


Scheduling

The workshop will take place on 13th of July from 8:30-12:30 in Room Club C at the conference venue. It will be divided in two slots of 110min with a coffee break in between. The confirmed scheduling is the following:

First session: 8:30-10:20

Chair: Josu Ceberio

  1. Opening of the workshop by the chair of the session.
  2. Invited talk:
  • Title: Combinatorial optimization problems under the view of the Fourier transform. Slides
  • Speaker: Jose A. Lozano from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
  1. Presentation of two scientific works on permutation-problems submitted to the workshop. Each paper will have 20 min for the presentation + 5 min for questions and discussion:
  • Search moves in the local optima networks of permutation spaces: the QAP case. Slides.
    Marco Baioletti, Alfredo Milani, Valentino Santucci, Marco Tomassini
  • Evolutionary Search Techniques for the Lyndon Factorization of Biosequences. Slides.

Coffee Break

Second session: 10:40-12:30

Chair: Valentino Santucci

  1. Presentation of three scientific works on permutation-problems submitted to the workshop. Each paper will have 20 min for the presentation + 3 min for questions and discussion:

  1. Discussion forum on the past, present, and future challenges of EC for combinatorial optimization problems, and with special mention to permutation problems. The discussion will be open to any attendee that aims to participate in the discussion. Nonetheless, in order to guarantee a sound discussion on the topic, a panel of experts in the area has been invited:
  • Invited experts: Jose A. Lozano, Francisco Chicano, Sevastian Verel, Carlos Coello.
  • Panel chair: Alexander Brownlee
