The impact of optimisation in network environments on the modern economy
and society has been growing steadily over the last few decades. The worldwide
division of labour, the connection of distributed centres, and the increased
mobility of individuals and devices lead to an increased demand for efficient
solutions to solve optimization problems in network systems. Along with the
development of more powerful computer systems, design and optimization techniques
like computational intelligence approaches have been developed that allow us
to use computer systems for the systematic design, optimization, and improvement
of different network systems.
The primary target of the task force is to promote research on the applications
of computational intelligence, including evolutionary computation, nature-inspired
computational models, metaheuristic techniques, and other intelligent methods, to
the solution of problems in network systems, including the following and related
domains:
- Communication network systems: telecommunications; mobile, satellite, optical,
and voice communications; personal communication systems; switching and routing;
transmission systems; communication systems simulation; station and antenna design;
information and speech processing; intrusion detection; error control coding;
compression and cryptography; propagation and channel modelling, protocol design,
etc.
- Transportation and logistics network systems: transportation and supply networks;
logistics; supply chain management; freight and passenger services; tracking and tracing;
fleet and order management; modelling and traffic management; traffic simulation; individual
and public transportation; inventory optimisation; routing and scheduling, etc.
- Information network systems: data mining; data distribution and sharing; distributed
data systems; inter-organisational communication; dynamic data network; heterogeneous data
analysis, etc.
- Social network systems: action policies; networking strategies; network and friendship
management; identification of interests; advertisement of interests; hierarchical networks;
distributed games; behavior analysis; inter-personal communication; group communication,
etc.
- Financial and economic network systems: system modelling; forecasting market prices;
price tracking; invest strategies; portfolio strategies, etc.
- General network problems: parallel and distributed systems; networks and graph problems;
unconstrained and constrained network design problems; structural and computational complexity;
adaptivity to environmental variations; robustness to network changes and failures; effectiveness
and scalability of performance; location and link design; reliability and failure; corporate
network design; location placement; network physical and software architecture; network hardware
and software technologies; operations, maintenance, and management; signalling and control;
active networks; network services and applications, etc.
