ACME 2017 is the Special Session on Advances in Computational Methods in Electromagnetics, Antenna Design, and Applications, which is organized as part of the 2017 International Conference on High Performance Computing and Simulation (HPCS 2017) held in Genoa, Italy, during the period July 17 to July 21, 2017.

ACME 2017 provides an international forum for reporting progress and recent advances in computational techniques and simulation tools used in electromagnetics and antenna design and Applications.

Several evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied to a variety of microwave component, antenna design, radar design, and wireless communications problems. These approaches, among others, include Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Evolution Strategies (ES), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential evolution (DE), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The use of the above algorithms has an increasing impact on antenna design and propagation problems. EAs combined in several occasions with numerical methods in electromagnetics have obtained significant and successful results. Additionally, hybrid combinations of EAs are also emerging.
