Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) is an evolutionary computation whose fitness function is replaced by a human. IEC combines the optimization capability of EC and the subjective evaluation capability of human for creative design, and has been applied to commercial product designs for years. Since 1990's its application domains have been expanded from daily products to entertainments and financial products as well. The notion of interaction between human and machine in IEC has to be extended now. One possible extension is to allow human directly interact with the genome, the genetic operators or the evolution processes; another possible extension is to allow human cooperate with computational intelligence.
We solicit research papers addressing issues concerning the integrating human and computational intelligence, i.e. Humanized Computational Intelligence (HCI), in commercial product design, including future directions of development, evaluations, and applications of the HCI. Papers that focus on discussing human activities in HCI, increasing performance of HCI, and developing HCI-based mechanism to consolidate ˇ°the design of innovationˇ± are especially encouraged.
