EvoINDUSTRY: The application of Nature-Inspired Techniques in industrial settings

Evolutionary Computation has established itself as a powerful tool for design, search and optimisation with applications in areas such as routing, scheduling and planning. EvoINDUSTRY seeks contributions from researchers and industrialists who have utilised Evolutionary Computation within an industrial context.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Case studies on the adoption of Evolutionary Computation within organisations
Hybrid methods and novel heuristics developed to solve specific problems
Scheduling and planning in industrial environments including production planning, transportation and distribution
Organisation, resource and workforce scheduling
The handling of real-world soft constraints
The construction of user interfaces to allow non-experts to use evolutionary based techniques

EvoINDUSTRY is a track within the EvoApplications conference to be held between the 3rd and the 5th of April 2013 in Vienna, Austria. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings, published by Springer as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
