About the Conference

The international conference on “Advanced Engineering Optimization Through Intelligent Techniques (AEOTIT)” is scheduled to be held during July 01-03, 2013. The objective of this conference is to bring together experts from academic institutions, industries and research organizations and professional engineers for sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience in the emerging trends related to advanced engineering optimization techniques and their applications. The conference is structured as keynote speeches followed by parallel sessions. The keynote speeches will be delivered by the eminent personalities at international level invited to introduce the theme of the conference. Each parallel session starts with an invited talk on a specific topic followed by contributed papers. Papers are invited from the prospective authors from industries, academic institutions, R&D organizations and from professional engineers belonging to the engineering disciplines. Potential topics to be addressed in this conference include, but are not limited to, the applications of the following advanced optimization techniques to the disciplines of MECHANICAL, MANUFACTURING, AERONAUTICAL, AUTOMOBILE, CIVIL, STRUCTURAL, ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS, COMPUTER and CHEMICAL engineering.

• Single and multi-objective optimization using: Genetic algorithm (GA), Differential evolution (DE), Simulated annealing (SA), Tabu search (TS), Particle swarm optimization (PSO), Ant colony optimization (ACO), Artificial immune algorithm (AIA), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, Harmony search (HS) algorithm, Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm, Bio-geography based optimization algorithm, Gravitational search algorithm, Charged system algorithm, Cuckoo search algorithm, Grenade explosion algorithm, League championship algorithm, Firefly algorithm, Bacteria foraging optimization, Hybrid optimization techniques, and other new metaheuristic techniques.

• Artificial neural networks based optimization

• Concepts of fuzzy logic in optimization

• Multi-attribute decision making methods such as SAW, WPM, AHP, TOPSIS, Graph theory and matrix approach, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, VIKOR, GRA, DEA, UTA, OWA, ORESTE, etc.

Registration Fee

• Delegates from academic institutions (faculty members/research scholars/students):

Rs. 3500 (for Indians)

 $100 (for foreigners)

• Delegates from industries and R&D organizations:

Rs. 4000 (for Indians)

$150 (for foreigners)

The registration fee enables the participants to receive the conference kit, hard and soft copies of the Proceedings, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Tea and Coffee during the conference days. Registration by at least one of the authors is compulsory for each paper (i.e. is necessary for each paper). The authors of research papers are required to send the registration fees in the form of a Demand Draft (DD) drawn in favor of “Director, SVNIT” payable at Surat so as to reach the Convenor on or before 31st May 2013. The foreign authors may send the international DD or they may contact the Convenor of the conference to get the details for “Bank Transfer”.

Important Dates

The guidelines to prepare the camera-ready manuscript are enclosed with this ‘Call for Papers’. Manuscripts not following the guidelines will NOT be considered. Authors are required to submit the camera-ready manuscripts as e-mail attachments to aeotit@gmail.comand raoravipudi@gmail.com on or before 31st May 2013. Camera-Ready Full Papers and the Registration Fees Due: 31st May 2013 Notification of Acceptance: One week from the date of receiving the soft copy of paper AND the hard copies of the demand draft and the signed copyright form

The Indian researchers from far away distances and the foreign researchers are advised to submit their papers well before the last date so that the status of their papers can be informed to them at the earliest and they can plan their journey accordingly. The last date for the hard copies of the DD and the signed copyright form to reach the Convenor is 31st May 2013. Only those papers for which the hard copies of DD and the signed copyright form are received will be considered. The status of the research paper (i.e. accepted / to be revised / rejected) will be intimated to the authors within a week of receiving the camera-ready soft copy of the paper through e-mail and the hardcopies of the DD and the signed copyright form by post. However, the DDs will be sent back by speed post to those authors whose papers are not accepted.The accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the conference with ISBN (International Standard Book Number).

Accommodation

Limited accommodation is available in the institute’s hostels at nominal rates of @Rs. 200 per bed in double-bed rooms. In addition, a number of hotels at very reasonable rates ranging from Rs.200–Rs.600 per day are available near railway station in Surat city which is about 8 KMs from the institute.
