CFP: IEEE CEC 2019 Special Session on Swarm Intelligence in Operations Research, Management Science, and Decision-Making (Jan 7th)

Swarm intelligence, as a crucial aspect of the artificial intelligence domain, has become an increasingly important modern computational intelligence method in artificial intelligence and computer science. In swarm intelligence, the nascent collective intelligence of groups of simple agents possess a powerful global search capability, and has been demonstrated to be able to determine the optimal solution within a rational time by numerous study fields using swarm intelligence algorithms, such as GA, MA, ACO, PSO, ABC, SSO, etc. Swarm intelligence algorithms play a paramount role in optimizing the increasing problems in related complex systems. Despite a significant amount of research on Swarm Intelligence, there remain many open issues and intriguing challenges in the field. This special session will provide a cardinal opportunity to present the latest scientific results and methods on the collaboration of Swarm Intelligence in Operations Research, Management Science and Decision Making, to discuss and exchange the latest developments in Swarm Intelligence, and to explore the future directions in Swarm Intelligence. Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work in the areas including, but not limited to:

• Swarm intelligence in operations research, management science or decision-making
• Advanced models of swarm intelligence
• Data mining using swarm intelligence
• Analytical studies that enhance our understanding of the swarm intelligence behaviors
