Chemical-Reaction-Inspired Metaheuristic for Optimization

Guest Speaker: Victor O.K. Li,The University of Hong Kong,
Hong Kong, ChinaAstract: We have proposed a new metaheuristic, called Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO), to solve hard optimization problems. CRO mimics the interactions of molecules in a chemical reaction to reach a low energy stable state. In this talk, we apply CRO to the scheduling problem in grid computing. We compare the CRO approach with four generally acknowledged metaheuristics, and find that CRO performs the best.Biography: Victor O.K. Li received SB, SM, EE and ScD degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 1977, 1979, 1980, and 1981, respectively. He is Associate Dean of Engineering and Chair Professor of Information Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), and Guest Chair Professor of Wireless Communication and Networking at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He has also served as Managing Director of Versitech Ltd., the technology transfer and commercial arm of HKU, and is now serving on the boards of Sunevision Holdings Ltd. and China.com Ltd listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Previously, he was Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, California, USA, and Director of the USC Communication Sciences Institute. Sought by government, industry, and academic organizations, he has lectured and consulted extensively around the world. He has received numerous awards, including the PRC Ministry of Education Changjiang Chair Professorship at Tsinghua University, the UK Royal Academy of Engineering Senior Visiting Fellowship in Communications, the Croucher Foundation Senior Research Fellowship, and the Order of the Bronze Bauhinia Star, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. He is a Registered Professional Engineer and a Fellow of the IEEE, the IAE, and the HKIE. Hosted by Professor C.C.-Jay Kuo
