Overview

The widespread of the internet has given further opportunities for providing innovative services and applications such as Sharing economy Platforms, Metaverse, and Cryptocurrency, to cite a few. However, such applications are often accompanied by a high complexity, and the number of standards, to which an application must follow, is rapidly increasing. Representing related problems as optimization problems will often not find an exact analytical solution anymore, and the need for advanced heuristic techniques becomes prevalent. Heuristic techniques provide a wealth of methods to handle tasks in complex application domains. Among such techniques we can find evolutionary computation, tabu search, simulated annealing, as well as many probabilistic, hybrid and ensemble approaches.

This workshop will focus on soft computing methods to tangent the needs of modern applications. It is supposed to bring together researchers from different communities with the similar need, and to provide a base for scientific exchange of research ideas.

The scope of this track covers the soft computing and related techniques, interactions between several soft computing techniques, and their applications:

Ant Colony
Chaos Theory
Evolutionary Computing
Fuzzy Computing
Hybrid Methods
Immunological Computing
Morphic Computing
Neuro Computing
Particle Swarm
Probabilistic Computing
Rough Sets

The application areas of interest include but are not limited to applications of soft computing to:

Agricultural Machinery and Produce
Autonomous Reasoning
Bio-inspired Systems
Biomedical Engineering
Condition Monitoring
Consumer Electronics
Data Mining
Data Visualization
Decision Support
Engineering Design Optimisation
Fault Diagnosis
Human-Machine Interface
