Evolutionary computing includes well-established as well as maturing tools and methodologies including nature inspired self-adaptive algorithms, complex systems, swarm intelligence, evolutionary game theory and genetic algorithm, and is used in diverse domains. 

Authors are invited to submit research papers on topics related to evolutionary computing for decentralized systems for a special session in the Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC 2007).

CEC is the world's premier conference dedicated to evolutionary computation. It brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from all around the globe. It also has special sessions dedicated to specific topics providing a platform for researchers using evolutionary computing techniques in their niche areas. The special session papers go through the same standard of peer reviewing and are published in the CEC conference proceedings.

Scope

Large-scale networked and decentralized systems such as the Internet, peer-to-peer systems, sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, etc., have grown to be very complex. Such decentralized systems are often characterized by designed or emergent self-organizational properties. Evolutionary principle, both for design and analysis of these systems, is a special subtopic under the general premise of self-organization.

Focus decentralized systems of interest include (but are not limited to) the Internet, the semantic web, peer-to-peer systems, sensor networks, ad-hoc and mesh networks, wireless and grid environments. The papers submitted should strictly and mainly be using evolutionary computing to address various issues in such decentralized systems.  Papers are  solicited for topics  including (but not limited to):

v         Systems Design and Optimization

v         Foundations, Theory, and Modeling

v         Empirical Studies, Practical Experiences and Case Studies

v         Complex Adaptive Systems

v         Algorithms: Biologically or Socially Inspired, Swarm and Epidemic

v         Evolutionary Data Mining

v         Evolutionary Games

v         Scalability, Reliability, Security, Mobility

v         Immune systems

v         Topology control

Paper Submission

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the standard format of regular papers specified in CEC2007 and be restricted to a maximum of 8 pages. Paper submission is strictly only PDF format and online through the regular CEC2007 submission website. Special session papers will be treated in the same way as regular papers and included in the conference proceedings.
