CSE Professor Yuhui Shi’s “Dynamical network optimization problem-oriented evolutionary algorithm theory and application” research team is authorized as NSFC international (regional) cooperation and communication program

Recently, NSFC (Natural Science Foundation of China) published the results of international (regional) cooperation and communication program. The program “Dynamical network optimization problem-oriented evolutionary algorithm theory and application” led by Southern University of Science and Technology(SUSTC) computer science department professor Yuhui Shi was officially authorized.

Prof. Shi Yuhui

Prof.Martin Middendorf

This program will be collaborated with the University of Leipzig in Germany for three years. China is permitted with expenditure of 1.8 millions. This program is aimed to provide effective evolutionary algorithm for dynamic network, and research how the evolutionary algorithm solve the dynamic network optimization problem further in computation, theory and application.

“Dynamical network optimization problem-oriented evolutionary algorithm theory and application” research team is led by Chair Professor Yuhui Shi. Chinese team has made progress in algorithm research and designation and realization, simulation platform building and testing. Prof Yuhui Shi is IEEE fellow, whose research area is swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. He, along with Pro Eberhart, presented the improved particle swarm algorithm was widely applied by many related researchers. Prof Yuhui Shi is now the subeditor of 《IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation》, editorial board member of 《Journal of Swarm Intelligence》and other academic magazines. The Germany principal of this program is Prof Martin Middendorf, the University of Leipzig, who is a famous scholar of ant colony algorithm and published over 90 journal articles and many conference articles.
