Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings for the 4th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2004, held in Coimbra, Portugal, in April together with EuroGP 2004 and six workshops on evolutionary computing. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 86 submissions. Among the topics addressed are evolutionary algorithms as well as metaheuristics like memetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, and scatter search; the papers are dealing with representations, operators, search spaces, adaptation, comparison of algorithms, hybridization of different methods, and theory. Among the combinatorial optimization problems studied are graph coloring, network design, cutting, packing, scheduling, timetabling, traveling salesman, vehicle routing, and various other real-world applications.

Artificial Evolution

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Artificial Evolution, AE '99, held in Dunkerque, France in November 1999. The 20 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing from initially more than 40 papers submitted. The book is divided in topical sections on genetic operators and theoretical models, applications, agents and cooperation, and heuristics and outlook.

We are proud to introduce the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN VI, held in Paris, Prance, on 18-20 September 2000. PPSN VI was organized in association with the Genetic and Evolutionary Computing Conference (GECCO'2000) and the Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC'2000), reflecting the beneficial interaction between the conference activities in Europe and in the USA in the field of natural computation. Starting in 1990 in Dortmund, Germany (Proceedings, LNCS vol. 496, Sprin ger, 1991), this biannual meeting has been held in Brussels, Belgium (Procee dings, Elsevier, 1992), Jerusalem, Israel (Proceedings, LNCS vol. 866, Sprin...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2013, held in Vienna, Austria, in April 2013, colocated with the Evo* 2013 events EuroGP, EvoBIO, EvoMUSART, and EvoApplications. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers present the latest research and discuss current developments and applications in metaheuristics - a paradigm to effectively solve difficult combinatorial optimization problems appearing in various industrial, economic, and scientific domains. Prominent examples of metaheuristics are ant colony optimization, evolutionary algorithms, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures, iterated local search, simulated annealing, tabu search, and variable neighborhood search. Applications include scheduling, timetabling, network design, transportation and distribution, vehicle routing, the travelling salesman problem, packing and cutting, satisfiability, and general mixed integer programming.
