Special issue of the Soft Computing Journal on Evolutionary Computing & Complex Systems http://griphon.uni.lu/EvolutionaryComputingCS The large-scale use and applicability of evolutionary computing for complex real-life systems and applications determined a need for ensuring solid theoretical grounds, providing sensitivity, resilience or error propagation analysis results. The aim of this special issue is to build a bridge between probabilities, statistics, set oriented numerics and evolutionary computing, as to identify new common and challenging research aspects useful for highly complex systems. Out of control stochastic factors, uncertainty or error propagation, are all potential pathways for hazardous conditions or catastrophic failures when dealing with complex systems in financial markets, nuclear plants, surveillance and defense, etc. Similarly, the handling of large quantities of data may require the use of distributed environments where the probability of failure and the stability of the algorithms may need in-depth study. Therefore, algorithms capable of delivering robust solutions in the presence of erroneous or abnormal inputs, resilient to failures or with performance guarantees, evolved to be of crucial importance when applied to such systems. The special issue will primarily focus on the solutions provided for highly complex systems by applied and theoretical evolutionary computation that advance the research in the field. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · performance guarantee factors for large scale / highly multi-modal problems · performance guarantees measures for existing algorithms · highly complex systems optimization · robust methods for large scale, high dimensional problems · theoretical tools, components that ensure the robustness in practice · mathematical objects and evolutionary programming · robust / fast estimation of mathematical quantities · particle methods, Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods · spatial complexity of methods and its implications in practice · robustness of parallel and distributed evolutionary optimization · self-tuning, self-adaptive techniques · particular issues (e.g. landscape analysis) · swarm intelligence · real-world applications Important Dates Submission of manuscripts: Jan 15, 2012 First revision notification: Apr 30, 2012 Submission of revised manuscripts: May 31, 2012 Second revision notification: Jun 15, 2012 Submission of final manuscripts: Jun 30, 2012 Final notification: Jul 15, 2012 Expected publication: End 2012 Notes for Prospective Authors Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
