Colloquia from science leaders and technology innovators SD

In this talk Prof. Eiben presents a vision about the upcoming breakthrough in artificial evolution: animate artefacts that (self-)reproduce in physical spaces. In other words, he envision the ``Evolution of Things'', rather than just the evolution of digital objects, leading to a new field of Embodied Artificial Evolution. After presenting this vision he elaborate on some of the technical challenges and relate the main algorithmic/technical requirements to the current know-how in EC. Finally, he will speculate about possible applications, their societal impacts, and argue that these developments will radically change our lives.

Leonardo Bezerra: Multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) algorithms have shown promising results for various multi-objective problems, but they also offer a large number of possible design choices. Often, exploring all possible configurations is practically infeasible. Recently, the automatic configuration of a MOACO framework was explored and was shown to result in new state-of-the-art MOACO algorithms for the bi-objective traveling salesman problem. In this video Leonardo talks about this approach to the bi-objective bidimensional knapsack problem (bBKP) to prove its generality and power. http://bit.ly/12aDpP6

Colloquium with Xin Yao Prof. Xin Yao CERCIA, School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK. Previous work on evolving neural networks has focused on single neural networks. However, monolithic neural networks are too complex to train and evolve for large and complex problems. It is often better to design a collection of simpler neural networks that work cooperatively to solve a large and complex problem.

Colloquium with Marc Timme: The Research Days are an annual event concentrating on the core competence of Lakeside Labs - Self-organizing Networked Systems. During this workshop organized by Lakeside Labs GmbH in cooperation with the University of Klagenfurt, international experts devote themselves to a special topic in self-organization. This year, between July 12th and 16th, they focused on the question how self-organizing systems can be designed to apply the concept in dedicated applications.

Colloquium with Eckehard Steinbach: Quality-of-Experience driven Cross-layer Optimization for Mobile Multimedia Communication. This talk presented a Quality of Experience (QoE) based cross-layer design framework for mobile multimedia communication. Our approach leads to optimized usage of wireless network resources for multiple users running diverse applications (e.g. voice calls, video streaming, file transfer). Our main objective is to improve the user's Quality of Experience (QoE).

Prof. Dr. Bosiljka Tadic, Department of Theoretical Physics Jozef Stefan Institute Ljubljana. Complex structure of networks may affect the dynamic processes on them in different ways, depending on the topological elements. On the other hand, the dynamical interactions between agents in different environments may be mapped onto networks, whose structure is varying in time. In both cases, numerical modeling offers a way to unravel structure-dynamics interdependences,specifically how the dynamical rules working at local level lead to emergent global behaviors.

Colloquium with Johannes Huber: On the Impact of Information Theory on Today's Communication Technology. The impact of results from Information Theory on todays information technology is illustrated by means of derivations from capacity formula and chain rule. By this, the huge possible increase in power and bandwidth efficiency for transmission of analogsource signals via modern digital communication techniques is enlightened.
