The Institute of Fluid Science (IFS), Tohoku University, is proud to invite you to the Fourth International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization (EMO 2007), which will be held at Hotel Taikanso, Matsushima, near Sendai, Japan, from 5 to 8 March, 2007.

Following the very successful EMO 2001, EMO 2003 and EMO 2005 conferences, which were held at Zurich, Switzerland, Faro, Portugal, Guanajuato, Mexico, in 2001, 2003 and 2005, respectively, this will be the fourth international conference dedicated entirely to this important topic. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available at the time of the Conference.

The EMO 2007 conference will highlight recent research in the rapidly growing field of evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO). Theory, practice and applications of all forms of evolutionary computation related to multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) will be covered. Topics include, but are not limited to:

EMO algorithm developments (e.g., constraint handling, diversity preservation, elitism, techniques to deal with a high number of objectives and/or decision variables; either evolutionary or based on other heuristics such as particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, ant colony optimization, tabu search, cultural algorithms, etc.)

  • Theoretical analysis of EMO algorithms
  • Test problem, performance metrics and comparative studies for EMO
  • Comparison/Integration of EMO and MCDM
  • Memetic EMO
  • Interactive EMO
  • EMO software development
  • Real-world/Industrial applications of EMO algorithms
  • EMO in other optimization tasks

EMO 2007 will include the following types of sessions:

  • Keynote Lectures
  • Tutorial Sessions
  • Regular Oral Sessions
  • Interactive Poster Sessions
Exhibits will be planned to encourage industrial participation.

The conference venue is Hotel Taikanso at Matsushima, a resort hotel near Sendai. The hotel overlooks the Matsushima bay and hundreds of small islands. Various types of rooms will be available at conference rate and special discount will be provided for young researchers and students.

We wish to thank the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development for their contribution to the success of this conference.
