- Evolvable hardware & software
- Evolving neural networks & fuzzy systems
- Memetic & hybrid algorithms
- Molecular & quantum computing
- Multiobjective optimization
- Particle swarm intelligence
- Real-world applications
- Representation & operators
- Theory of evolutionary computation
CEC 2007 will feature a world-class conference that aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote speeches, special sessions, tutorial workshops, panel discussions as well as poster presentations. On top of this, participants will be treated to a series of social functions, receptions and networking sessions, which will serve as a vital channel to establish new connections and foster everlasting friendship among fellow counterparts.
Singapore is a vibrant commercial and financial hub, which at the same time also serves its role as a melting pot for the fusion of a diverse mix of many different cultures. Visitors to this tropical island resort will be treated to a great array of interesting attractions, festival celebrations and cultural events, not forgetting the one-stop shopping and eating experience in this entertainment paradise.
