Preface
This volume contains the proceedings of EvoApplications 2018, the International
Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation. The event was held in
Parma, Italy, during April 4–6.
EvoAPPS,asitisfamiliarlycalled,ispartofEvo*,theleadingeventonbio-inspired
computation in Europe. EvoAPPS aimed to show the applications of the research,
ranging from proofs of concept to industrial case studies. At the same time, under the
Evo* umbrella, EuroGP focused on the technique of genetic programming, EvoCOP
targeted evolutionary computation in combinatorial optimization, and EvoMUSART
was dedicated to evolved and bio-inspired music, sound, art and design. The pro-
ceedings for all of these co-located events are available in the LNCS series.
This edition combines research from 14 different domains: business analytics and
finance (EvoBAFIN track); computational biology (EvoBIO track); communication
networks and other parallel and distributed systems (EvoCOMNET track); complex
systems (EvoCOMPLEX track); energy-related optimization (EvoENERGY track);
gamesandmulti-agentsystems(EvoGAMEStrack);imageanalysis,signalprocessing,
and pattern recognition (EvoIASP track); real-world industrial and commercial envi-
ronments (EvoINDUSTRY track); knowledge incorporation in evolutionary compu-
tation (EvoKNOW track); continuous parameter optimization (EvoNUM track);
parallel architectures and distributed infrastructures (EvoPAR track); evolutionary
robotics (EvoROBOT track); nature-inspired algorithms in software engineering and
testing (EvoSET track); and stochastic and dynamic environments (EvoSTOC track).
Thisyearwereceived84high-qualitysubmissions,mostofthemwellsuitedtofitin
morethanonetrack.Weselected36papersforfulloralpresentation,whileafurther23
works were presented as posters. All contributions, regardless of the presentation
format, appear as full papers in this volume (LNCS 10784).
Manypeoplecontributedtothisedition:Weexpressourgratitudetotheauthorsfor
submitting their works, and to the members of the Program Committees for devoting
such a big effort to review papers pressed by our tight schedule.
The papers were submitted, reviewed, and selected through the MyReview
conference management system, and we are grateful to Marc Schoenauer (Inria,
Saclay-Île-de-France, France) for providing, hosting, and managing the platform.
We would also like to thank the local organizing team led by Stefano Cagnoni and
MonicaMordoninifromtheUniversityofParma,Italy,forprovidingsuchanenticing
venue and arranging an array of additional activities for delegates.
We would like to acknowledge Pablo García Sánchez (University of Cádiz, Spain)
for his continued support in maintaining the Evo* website and handling publicity.
Wecredittheinvitedkeynotespeakers,Una-MayO’Reilly(MITComputerScience
and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, USA) and Penousal Machado (Computational
Design and Visualization Lab at the University of Coimbra, Portugal), for their
fascinating and inspiring presentations.
VIII Preface
WearegratefultothesupportprovidedbySPECIES,theSocietyforthePromotion
of Evolutionary Computation in Europe and Its Surroundings, and its individual
members (Marc Schoenauer, President; Anna I. Esparcia-Alcázar, Secretary and
Vice-President; Wolfgang Banzhaf, Treasurer) for the coordination and financial
administration.
Andlastbutnotleast,weexpressourcontinuedappreciationtoJenniferWilliesfor
herongoing supportand expertise as oneof thefoundingorganizers of Evo* andalso
to Anna I Esparcia-Alcázar, from Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, whose
considerable efforts in managing and coordinating Evo* helped to build our unique,
vibrant, and friendly atmosphere.
