Third European Graduate Student Workshop on Evolutionary Computation

EvoPHD detailed programme.

This workshop focuses on work of PhD students. Its main aim is to give students feedback on the current state of their thesis. This workshop provides a chance to students to present their work to a friendly audience of other students as well as experts in the field. It also provides students with contacts and professional networking opportunities, which helps them to integrate into the community.

For you as a student, the aim of a submission is to get feedback on the current state of your thesis. Submissions will be evaluated by members of a high-quality committee that consists of long running members of the community with the goal to provide in-depth feedback. You are required to submit a paper that summarises the research performed and planned as part of your dissertation.

The number of participants is limited. Accepted papers will not be published in the workshop proceedings, but will be disseminated among the participants of the event in the form of a booklet and will be freely available on the website afterwards.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Any topic that fits in the scope of the conferences and workshops
• Bio-inspired computing, such as evolutionary computing, ant colony optimization, swarm intelligence, and neural networks
• Local optimisation methods (tabu search, simulated annealing)
• All flavours of evolutionary computation (genetic programming, evolution strategies, genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms, etc.)
• Combinatorial optimisation with bio-inspired computing
• Application of evolutionary computation to real-life problems
• Hybrid architectures that include bio-inspired components
• Theory on a relevant area of bio-inspired computing
