Aims & Scope

The HM Workshops are intended to be an international forum for
researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental evaluation
of metaheuristics. Metaheuristics, such as simulated annealing,
evolutionary algorithms, tabu search, ant colony optimization, scatter
search and iterated local search, are considered state-of-the-art
methods for many problems. In recent years, however, it has become
evident that the concentration on a sole metaheuristic is rather
restrictive. A skilled combination of concepts from different
optimization techniques can provide a more efficient behavior and a
higher flexibility when dealing with real-world and large-scale
problems. Hybrid Metaheuristics are such techniques for optimization
that combine different metaheuristics or integrate AI/OR techniques
into metaheuristics.

Previously organized Workshops were held in Vienna (HM 2010), Udine
(HM 2009), Malaga (HM 2008), Dortmund (HM 2007), Gran Canaria (HM 2006),
Barcelona (HM 2005), and València (HM 2004).

HM2013 is organized as a single-track conference and a non-profit event.
************************************************************************


************************************************************************
Topics of Interest

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including
but not limited to:

- Novel combinations of components from different metaheuristics
- Hybridization of metaheuristics and AI/OR techniques
- Low-level hybridization
- High-level hybridization, portfolio techniques, expert systems
- Cooperative search
- Automated parameter tuning
- Empirical and statistical comparison
- Theoretical aspects of hybridization
- Parallelization
- Software libraries
************************************************************************


************************************************************************
Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit a full paper describing original,
unpublished research with at most 15 pages (in LNCS style). Proofs
omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be
read by the program committee members at their discretion. Electronic
submissions should be formatted in pdf.

The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS series.

Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops with published
proceedings is not allowed.

See the conference website or contact the workshop organizers for further
information.

Journal Special Issue.

Selected papers from HM2013 will be considered for a special issue of an
International Journal.

Digital Twin – Il caso Hyperloop

  Con il termine  hyperloop  si identificano una serie di tecnologie che promettono di rivoluzionare il trasporto di persone e cose. L’idea di base è molto semplice: far viaggiare all’interno di tubi, dove viene creato il vuoto, delle capsule ad alta velocità con binari a levitazione magnetica.   Credits: Virgin Hyperloop on instagram.com/p/CRHEB9ctQ6u/   Qualche tempo fa, mi è capitato di leggere un interessante articolo su come la progettazione della soluzione guidata dal gruppo Virgin, sia stata affiancata da analisi svolte mediante un sistema di ottimizzazione matematica. Come meglio descritto nel seguito, un digital twin, completamente basato su un modello matematico di ottimizzazione, permette di valutare le migliori scelte progettuali tenendo in considerazione i vari obiettivi di progetto.   La necessità di avere un digital twin nasce probabilmente dal fatto che le tecnologie  hyperloop  non hanno una base di partenza già esistente. No...

Dispense di ricerca operativa

Vi sottopongo alla vostra attenzione le dispense del corso di ricerca operativa, a cura della professoressa Laura Palagi . Scorrendo l'indice si possono molti argomenti interessanti, sia teorici che pratici. Questa dispensa conta ben 229 pagine, per cui è molto più vicino ad un buon manuale che a delle semplici dispense di un corso universitario. Ricerca Operativa PDF

Teoria dell'incertezza

Dal sito internet del Prof. Baoding Liu ho trovato due interessanti libri sulla teoria dell'incertezza. Uncertainty Theory Uncertainty theory is a branch of mathematics based on normality, monotonicity, self-duality, and countable subadditivity axioms. The goal of uncertainty theory is to study the behavior of uncertain phenomena such as fuzziness and randomness. The main topics include uncertainty theory, probability theory, credibility theory, and chance theory. This book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of uncertainty theory. The purpose is to equip the readers with an axiomatic approach to deal with uncertainty. Theory and Practice of Uncertain Programming Real-life decisions are usually made in the state of uncertainty (fuzziness and randomness). How do we model optimization problems in uncertain environments? How do we solve these models? In order to answer these questions, this book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date ...
