IPMU 2014 – Deadline Extension

IPMU 2014 – 15th International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems 
Montpellier, France, July 15-19, 2014
Due to several requests, the paper submission deadline is extended to December 31.
The IPMU conference is organized every two years with the focus of bringing together scientists working on methods for the management of uncertainty and aggregation of information in intelligent systems. This conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners in these and related areas. 
 
In 2014, Montpellier will host the IPMU conference. Less than three hours from Paris, Barcelona and Italy, and just 11 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France, Montpellier is a historic, effervescent city with attractions that rank among the most prestigious world heritage sites. From its medieval narrow streets to the new districts designed by the greatest architects of our time, Montpellier cultivates a taste for simplicity and pleasure.
 
We are pleased to advise the following keynote lectures will be delivered: Vladimir Naumovich Vapnik, Stuart Russell, Inés Couso,…

EXTENDED DEADLINE IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine_Special Issue on “Computational Intelligence in Production and Logistics Systems” (CIPLS)

Call for Papers

BACKGROUND

The management of production and logistics systems in today?s fierce competition environment is a difficult task and has become progressively complex. Major changes in products, processes, technologies, and societies have brought increasing market demands as well as serious challenges. Modelling and optimization of complex problems arising in production and logistics systems is of paramount importance in surviving and achieving competitive gains in productivity and quality.

Within this context, CIPLS aims to address issues related to the design, planning, control, and continuous improvement of production and logistics systems using computational intelligence. In this special issue, we solicit original, high-quality papers presenting substantial results on the development and implementation of novel approaches based on exact, heuristic, and/or meta-heuristic techniques. This includes local search methods (e.g., tabu search, variable neighborhood search, large neighborhood search, scatter search, etc.), evolutionary algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms, etc.), and other nature-inspired optimization methods (e.g., ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, neural algorithms, etc.) as well as hybrid techniques and hyper-heuristics. Our intention is to cover the full spectrum of production from aggregate planning to shop-floor execution systems and modelling, planning and control of logistics systems. We would particularly like to encourage the submission of studies incorporating real-world applications.

TOPICS

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Production planning and control
  • Flexible manufacturing systems
  • Integrated production system and process design
  • Capacity planning
  • Lot sizing
  • Assembly lines
  • Production scheduling
  • Inventory control
  • Facilities planning and design
  • Transport and distribution planning
  • Vehicle routing and scheduling
  • Multi-modal transport
  • Sustainability and green logistics
  • Logistics network design
  • Decision support systems in production and logistics
