The conference will serve as a forum for researchers investigating applications and theory of evolutionary programming and other related areas in evolutionary and natural computation.
Topics. Evolutionary programming, evolution strategies, genetic algorithms & genetic programming, artificial life, cultural algorithms, and other models that rely on evolutionary principles. Specific topics include but are not limited to the use of evolutionary simulations in optimization, neural network training and design, automatic control, image processing, and other applications, as well as mathematical theory or empirical analysis providing insight into the behavior of such algorithms. Of particular interest are applications of simulated evolution to problems in biology.
