Extended submission deadline: /*Jan 18, 2011*/

Due to the challenges of many real world applications in both research

and practice, scheduling problems have received a significant amount of

attention in a range of disciplines including artificial intelligence,

operations research, engineering and computer science. Problems range

from classic production scheduling to various applications in education,

industry and business sections. Different constraints, objectives as

well as problem characteristics have to be considered while developing

efficient and intelligent computational methods for these complex and

large-scale problems. Evolutionary computation has shown to be one of

the most effective intelligent algorithms for solving scheduling problems.

This special session is being organized as an activity of the Technical

Committee of Evolutionary Computation at IEEE, and aims to explore

recent research advances on all aspects of evolutionary computation on

scheduling problems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms for

scheduling problems

- Benchmark problems and performance metrics

- Dynamic scheduling problems

- Single and multi-objective scheduling

- Hybrid methods for scheduling problems

- Case-based planning/scheduling

- Evolutionary computation in various applications (educational

timetabling, network routing, personnel scheduling, production

scheduling, resource constrained project scheduling, sports scheduling,

self-organization of wireless networks, etc.)

- Experience of applying evolutionary computation in scheduling

- Comparative studies and case studies

Important dates and details of how to make submissions are available at
