Part of IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence 2011

Computational Intelligence (CI) methodologies, including evolutionary algorithms, neural networks and fuzzy systems have shown to be sell suited to deal with significant uncertainties that may be encountered in solving real-world problems. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together scientists, engineers, and graduate students to present and discuss recent advances in employing CI for solving scientific and engineering problems in the presence of uncertainties.


Topics of the interest include but are not limited to:

* Evolutionary computation in dynamic and uncertain environments
o Use of surrogates for single and multi-objective optimization
o Search for robust solutions over space and time
o Dynamic single and multi-objective optimization
o Handling noisy fitness functions
o Learning and adaptation in evolutionary computation
* Learning in non-stationary and uncertain environments
o Incremental and lifelong learning
o Online and interactive learning
o Dealing with catastrophic forgetting
o Active and autonomous learning in changing environments
o Ensemble techniques
o Multi-objective learning
* Hybrid methodologies for dealing with uncertainties
* Interactions of evolution and learning in changing environments
* Benchmarks, performance measures, and real-world applications
