Scope of Symposium
===============

CISched 2007 aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners in computational intelligence and scheduling. Scheduling problems are often not amenable to be being tackled by exact approaches due to the huge search spaces that have to be explored. Therefore we often resort to techniques which fall under the term of Computational Intelligence. These can include Evolutionary Computation, Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic etc. This symposium aims to explore recent advances in this area. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Computational Intelligence in:
• Course and Examination Timetabling
• Commercial Scheduling packages
• Employee Scheduling
• Production Scheduling
• Sports Scheduling
• Transport Scheduling
• Complexity Issues
• Comparison of Techniques (e.g. compare Neural Networks with Fuzzy Logic or comparison of a meta-heuristic approach with a CI approach)
• Interactive Scheduling using Computational Intelligence
• Experiences of CI within Scheduling
• Case Studies
• Theoretical or empirical analysis of evolutionary algorithms and representations

Paper Submission
=============
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than eight (8) pages including results, figures and references. Authors should submit their papers as PDF through the online submission system, which will be available at the website http://www.ieee-ssci.org. The title page of the paper should include author name(s), affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address. At least one author is expected to register at the symposium and present their paper.

Edmund Burke, Graham Kendall, Stephen Smith, KC Tan (co-chairs)
