Prominent examples of metaheuristics include: evolutionary algorithms, estimation of distribution algorithms, swarm intelligence methods such as ant colony and particle swarm optimisation, local search methods such as simulated annealing, tabu search, variable neighbourhood search, iterated local search, scatter search and path relinking, and their hybridisation, such as memetic algorithms. Automatic algorithm configuration and design, meta-optimisation, model-based methods, and hyperheuristics are also topics of interest. Successfully solved problems include, but are not limited to, multi-objective, uncertain, dynamic and stochastic problems in the context of scheduling, timetabling, network design, transportation and distribution, vehicle routing, graph problems, satisfiability, energy optimisation, cutting, packing, and planning problems. **** Important Dates **** Submission deadline (Regular papers): November 1, 2017 Submission deadline (LBAs): January 15, 2018 EvoStar: April 4-6, 2018 ******************************************************************************** Sender: Paul Kaufmann <[log in to unmask]> Subject: EVOApplications 2018 Call for Papers CfP: EVOApplications 2018 - Parma, 4-6 April 2018 Submission Deadline: 1 November, 2017, 16 pages Springer LNCS Authors of selected publications will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to Springer's Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines (GPEM, impact factor: 1.514, fast track review process).

The full Call for Papers for the special issue, along with paper submission instructions, is available at: http://bit.ly/2wkiqnh We believe that this is a great opportunity to strengthen the field and to bring together researchers from many directions through the publishing of this special issue. We would like to invite all speakers and attendees of the First Interdisciplinary Workshop on Social Learning and Cultural Evolution to submit a paper for the special issue. If possible the paper should relate to the talk that you gave at the workshop, or any new work associated the topics discussed at the workshop. In general we expect new work in the paper that has not been published elsewhere, however this may include re-interpretation or re-analysis of previously reported data or general overview and re-interpretation of previous works published in a number of earlier papers. We are also open to receive position papers that highlight a particular concept or viewpoint in the context of social learning and cultural evolution. All papers will be reviewed according to the journal's standard reviewing procedures and only papers recommended for publication by the reviewers will be published in the special issue. Please let us know as soon as possible if you intend to submit a paper for this special issue. We aim to receive all papers for the special issue by 31 January 2018.
