Dear Colleagues,
please find enclosed a short information concerning the
Final Call For PAPERS for SAGA 2009
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Call for Papers: SAGA 2009
Fifth Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms,
Foundations and Applications, October 26 - 28, 2009
Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, October 26-28, 2009
The symposium offers the opportunity to present original research on
the analysis, implementation, experimental evaluation and real-world
application of stochastic algorithms. In particular, the focus of
SAGA'09 is on new algorithmic ideas involving stochastic decisions and
the design and evaluation of stochastic algorithms within realistic
scenarios. Thus, the symposium wants to foster the co-operation
between practitioners and theoreticians from this research area.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Werner R"omisch, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany
Taisuke Sato, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
Topics of Interest:
We invite submissions of original research papers (including
significant work-in-progress and work identifying and exploring
directions of future research) or state-of-the-art surveys are invited
on all aspects of algorithms employing stochastic components,
including, but not limited to:
- Stochastic algorithms in combinatorial optimization
- Randomized methods in Boolean functions analysis
- Stochastic local search methods
- Randomness and complexity
- Combinatorial nanoscience
- Memetic algorithms
- Stochastic algorithms in bioinformatics
- Machine learning methods
- Stochastic automata
- Evolvability and self-replication
- Average-case behaviour and experimental analysis
- Real-world applications
- Search-based software engineering
There will be several invited talks by prominent researchers.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: May 30, 2009
Notification of acceptance: July 8, 2009
Camera ready due: July 30, 2009
The Proceedings will be published as a volume in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series, Springer, and will be available
at the conference.
