Co-located 5-th Joint International Conferences:
Swarm, Evolutionary and Memetic Computing Conference (SEMCCO 2014)
&
Fuzzy And Neural Computing Conference (FANCCO 2014)
December 18 – 20, 2014
Institute of Technical Education and Research, SOA University
Bhubaneswar, Odisha, INDIA.
Introduction:
The SEMCCO 2014 is the fifth international conference of this series, where SEMCCO 2010 has been successfully organized at SRM University Chennai, SEMCCO 2011 at ANITS, Visakhpatnam, SEMCCO 2012 at SOA University, Bhubaneswar, and SEMCCO 2013 at SRM University, Chennai. The FANCCO 2014 is the fourth international conference of this series, collocated and co-organized with SEMCCO. These conferences aim at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to report and review the latest progresses in the cutting – edge research with Swarm, Evolutionary, Memetic, Fuzzy, and Neural computing to explore new application areas and to design new bio – inspired algorithms for solving specific hard optimization problems and finally to create awareness on these domains to a wider audience to practitioners. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to submit their contributions in both theoretical and practical aspects.
Theme: The topics of the conference are related to the following (but not limited to) Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Programming, Evolution Strategies, Combinatorial Optimization, Metaheuristics, Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Bacterial Foraging algorithms (BFA), Harmony Search (HS), Cultural Algorithms , Artificial Bees and Fireflies Algorithms , Digital Organisms, Evolvable Hardware, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA), Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS), Self–organization and Adaptation in Evolutionary Systems, Quantum and Nano – computing, Membrane computing, Solving single objective, multi-objective, dynamic and large-scale optimization problems, memetic computation, Memeplexes, Meta-memes, Coevolution, Lamarckian / Baldwinian, Agent based memetic computation.

——————————
A great deal of work has used computational methods to investigate the intensity, structure, topic and sentiment of social interactions. But neither information alone nor structure in isolation can be considered fully responsible for the complexity of social life, whether on- or offline. Online interactions can be conceptualized as a social exchange, and also as a process through which meaning emerges through dialogue between the two partners, i.e. a dyad. We aim for the DYAD workshop to examine online interactions from a number of rich perspectives.
Invited speakers include Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil (Max Planck Institute SWS), Bruno Gonçalves (Aix-Marseille Université), and Carlos Diuk-Wasser (Facebook, Inc.)
The workshop welcomes submissions on topics related to computational approaches to the study of social interaction, relevant to fields as diverse as social psychology, behavioral economics, sociolinguistics as well as computational linguistics, web science, and network science. Examples of relevant submissions include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
– detection of social expectations and norms
– status relations and power imbalances
– detection and measurement of social support, such as in critical situations related to illness, bullying or grieving
– self-disclosure, turn-taking, deference in interpersonal communication
– identity
– topic development and change in online conversations
– emotion dynamics in conversation thread
– social dynamics in comment thread (politics, news, interest-based communities)
– development of language and the self through social interaction
– language variation across communities and social relationships (e.g. distinguishing friends from colleagues, etc.)
– persuasive language
– pragmatics of language
Formatting
Submitted works can come as either full 10-page or short 4-page papers, formatted according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines (http://www.springer.com/compu
