The 3rd Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms, Foundations and Applications
(SAGA'05) will be held in Moscow (Russia) from 20th to 22nd October 2005.
The symposium offers the opportunity to present original research on the
analysis, implementation, experimental evaluation and real-world application
of stochastic algorithms. In particular, the focus of SAGA'05 is on new
algorithmic ideas involving stochastic decisions and the design and evaluation
of stochastic algorithms within realistic scenarios. Thus, the symposium
wants to foster the co-operation between practitioners and theoreticians
from this research area.
Topics:
Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress and work
identifying and exploring directions of future research) or state-of-the-art
surveys are invited on all aspects of algorithms employing stochastic
components, including, but not limited to:
- Stochastic algorithms in combinatorial optimisation
- Randomised methods in Boolean functions analysis
- Stochastic local search methods
- Randomness and complexity
- Memetic algorithms
- Stochastic algorithms in Bioinformatics
- Machine learning methods
- Stochastic automata
- Evolvability and self-replication
- Average-case behaviour and experimental analysis
- Real-world applications
