Welcome to COLA Laboratory #

Glad to announce that one project proposal (EASY-CROSS) is granted by MSCA Staff Exchange 2022. This project is about secure and modular boarder control supported by handheld biometric scanning devices. Look forward to seeing interesting collaborations coming out of this project. Congratulations to our colleagues. June 1

We have three papers accepted to IEEE SMC 2023. Congratulations to Renzhi, Shasha and Tian! Well done! June 1

I’m glad to be invited to join the Editorial Board for Mathematics journal (Impact Factor=2.592). April 21

Our paper on “Exploring Structural Similarity in Fitness Landscapes via Graph Data Mining: A Case Study on Number Partitioning Problems” has been accepted to IJCAI 2023. Congratulations to Mingyu! Very well done! April 19
