IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence 2009

2009 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Multicriteria Decision-Making

The aim of the annual IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM 2009) is to bring together engineers, scientists and students from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of computational intelligence applied to issues in multicriteria decision making. Topics covered include applications of computational intelligence technologies, such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, and other emerging techniques in the following or similar areas:

• Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms
• Meta-heuristics (scatter and Tabu search)
• Particle swarm optimization
• Ant colonies, bacteria optimization, and other heuristic search methods

• Accuracy and complexity tradeoff
• Accuracy-interpretability, stability-plasticity dilemma
• Pareto-based ensemble generation
• Pareto-analysis of learning systems

• Pareto-approach to life history evolution
• Robustness and evolvability
• Energy consumption and functional efficiency in neural organization
• Bioinformatics (sequence alignment, protein structure prediction, construction of gene regulatory networks etc.)

• Preference elicitation and representation
• Aggregation/tradeoff operators & algorithms
• Fuzzy logic based DM techniques
• Bayesian and other DM techniques

• Progressive aggregation methods
• Decision maker in the loop
