CALL for widening participation: short papers from EUROCALL 2020
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the EUROCALL society succeeded in holding the 28th EUROCALL conference, EUROCALL2020, on 20-21 August as an online, two-day gathering. The transition process required to make this happen was demanding and insightful for everyone involved, and, in many ways, a logical consequence of the core content and purpose of EUROCALL. Who would be better suited to transform an onsite conference into an online event than EUROCALL? CALL for widening participation was this year’s theme. We welcomed contributions from both theoretical and practical perspectives in relation to the many forms and contexts of CALL. We particularly welcomed longitudinal studies or studies that revisited earlier studies. The academic committee accepted 300 abstracts for paper presentations, symposia, workshops, and posters under this theme; 57 short papers are published in this volume. We hope you will enjoy reading this volume, the first one to reflect a one hundred percent online EUROCALL conference/Online Gathering.
Evolutionary Computation & Swarm Intelligence
The vast majority of real-world problems can be expressed as an optimisation task by formulating an objective function, also known as cost or fitness function. The most logical methods to optimise such a function when (1) an analytical expression is not available, (2) mathematical hypotheses do not hold, and (3) the dimensionality of the problem or stringent real-time requirements make it infeasible to find an exact solution mathematically are from the field of Evolutionary Computation (EC) and Swarm Intelligence (SI). The latter are broad and still growing subjects in Computer Science in the study of metaheuristic approaches, i.e., those approaches which do not make any assumptions about the problem function, inspired from natural phenomena such as, in the first place, the evolution process and the collaborative behaviours of groups of animals and communities, respectively. This book contains recent advances in the EC and SI fields, covering most themes currently receiving a great deal of attention such as benchmarking and tunning of optimisation algorithms, their algorithm design process, and their application to solve challenging real-world problems to face large-scale domains.
Soft Computing in Industrial Applications
The 15th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications, held on the Internet, constitutes a distinctive opportunity to present and discuss high quality papers, making use of sophisticated Internet tools and without incurring in high cost and, thus, facilitating the participation of people from the entire world. The book contains a collection of papers covering outstanding research and developments in the field of Soft Computing including, evolutionary computation, fuzzy control and neuro-fuzzy systems, bio-inspired systems, optimization techniques and application of Soft Computing techniques in modeling, control, optimization, data mining, pattern recognition and traffic and transportation systems.
Evolutionary Algorithms in Intelligent Systems
Evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics are widely used to provide efficient and effective approximate solutions to computationally hard optimization problems. With the widespread use of intelligent systems in recent years, evolutionary algorithms have been applied, beyond classical optimization problems, to AI system parameter optimization and the design of artificial neural networks and feature selection in machine learning systems. This volume will present recent results of applications of the most successful metaheuristics, from differential evolution and particle swarm optimization to artificial neural networks, loT allocation, and multi-objective optimization problems. It will also provide a broad view of the role and the potential of evolutionary algorithms as service components in Al systems.
