EvoPhD will not run in 2009
EvoPhD
4th European Graduate Student Workshop on Evolutionary
Computation
This is the forth European
workshop on evolutionary computation that 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 summarizes the research performed and planned as
part of your dissertation.
The number of participants is limited. Accepted papers
will be published in a CD with ISSN 1974-4145, that
will be disseminated among the participants of the
event.
The workshop is one of the workshops of Evo*2009, which
combined form Europe's premier co-located events in the
field of evolutionary computing. The next event takes
place in Tuebingen, Germany. Featuring the latest in
theoretical and applied research, the topics include
recent genetic programming challenges, evolutionary and
other
meta-heuristic approaches for combinatorial
optimization, evolutionary algorithms in the
biosciences, in music and art domains, in image
analysis and signal processing systems, in hardware
optimisation and as applied to a range of industrial,
environmental and financial optimisation problems.
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
