Palestra “Nature-inspired Computing in the Study of Complex Systems and Problems” com Prof. Camelia Chira – Romênia

Dia 23/1, quinta-feira, a prof. Camelia Chira do Department of Computer Science – Babes-Bolyai University – Romania, fará palestra intitulada “Nature-inspired Computing in the Study of Complex Systems and Problems”, às 10h, no Prédio 67, sala 106, do Instituto de Informática.

Nature-inspired Computing in the Study of Complex Systems and Problems Complexity, emergence and self-organization represent essential aspects of today’s world real systems. The study and in-depth analysis of these elements need computational perspectives able to significantly impact the study of complexity and the solving process of dynamic complex problems. Nature-inspired computing offers many classes of nature inspired search, design and optimization methods that can be applied to a variety of complex problems. The focus of the talk will be on the design and development of hybrid evolutionary models to address various facets of complex problems and systems. Evolutionary algorithms represent a powerful search mechanism based on chromosome evolution and operators such as selection, crossover and mutation. Different hybrid evolutionary approaches are presented showing how they can be used to address difficult (many times NP-hard) problems such as community detection in complex networks, density classification in cellular automata and other optimization problems.
