Lecture Notes in Computer Science: Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN VII : 7th International Conference, Granada, Spain, September 2002 - Proceedings 2439 DOC, MOBI, EPUB
9783540441397 3540441395 This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature,PPSN 2002, held in Granada, Spain in September 2002.The 90 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 181 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on evolutionary algorithms theory, representation and codification, variation operators, evolutionary techniques and coevolution, multiobjective optimization, new techniques for evolutionary algorithms, hybrid algorithms, learning classifier systems, implementation of evolutionary algorithms, applications, and cellular automata and ant colony optimization., We are proud to introduce the proceedings of the Seventh International C- ference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN VII, held in Granada, Spain, on 7 11 September 2002. PPSN VII was organized back-to-back with the Foundations of Genetic Algorithms (FOGA) conference, which took place in Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain, in the preceding week. ThePPSNseriesofconferencesstartedinDortmund, Germany 1].Fromthat pioneering meeting, the event has been held biennially, in Brussels, Belgium 2], Jerusalem, Israel 3], Berlin, Germany 4], Amsterdam, The Netherlands 5], and Paris, France 6]. During the Paris conference, several bids to host PPSN 2002 were put forward; it was decided that the conference would be held in Granada with Juan J. Merelo Guerv os as General Chairman. The scienti'c content of the PPSN conference focuses on problem-solving paradigms gleaned from natural models, with an obvious emphasis on those that display an innate parallelism, such as evolutionary algorithms and ant-colony optimization algorithms. The majority of the papers, however, concentrate on evolutionary and hybrid algorithms, as is shown in the contents of this book and itspredecessors.Thiseditionoftheconferenceproceedingshasalargesectionon applications, betheytoclassicalproblemsortoreal-worldengineeringproblems, which shows how bioinspired algorithms are extending their use in the realms of business and enterprise."
