International Journal of Intelligent Systems Design and Computing

 

Special Issue on: "Intelligent Solutions to Computer Network Problems through Modern Heuristics"

Guest Editors:
Dr. Tarun Kumar Sharma, Amity University Rajasthan, India
Dr. Millie Pant, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India
Dr. Sebastian Basterrech, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic

Several heuristic tools have evolved in the past decades that facilitate solving various optimization problems in a large domain. Heuristic tools have an edge over traditional or conventional methods. The need for advanced heuristic techniques becomes prevalent. These tools include Evolutionary computation, Simulated annealing, Tabu search, Genetic Algorithms, Differential Evolution, Particle Swarms, Ant Colony, Memetic Computing, Bacterial Foraging, Artificial Bees, and so forth. With today’s computer networks becoming increasingly dynamic, heterogeneous, and complex, there is great interest in deploying heuristics methods for optimization and management of computer networks.

This special issue will focus on Heuristic methods for the design, deployment, and reliability of networks and network applications.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 2^nd International conference on Soft Computing: Theories and Applications (SoCTA2017), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
