Preface
This volume of Communication in Computer and Information Science contains the
proceedingsofWIVACE2021,the15thWorkshoponArtificialLifeandEvolutionary
Computation.TheeventwasoriginallyplannedtobeheldatthecampusinWinterthur,
SwitzerlandoftheZurichUniversityofAppliedSciencesinSeptember2020,buthad

TheInternationalWorkshoponArtificialLifeandEvolutionaryComputationaims
atbringingtogetherresearchersworkinginartificiallifeandevolutionarycomputation

a forum for the discussion of new research directions and applications in these fields.
It was first held in 2007 in Sampieri (Ragusa), as the incorporation of two previously
separatelyrunningworkshops(WIVAandGSICE).Afterthesuccessofthefirstedition,
the workshop was organized in the following years in Venice (2008), Naples (2009),

demonstratingthatWIVACEisnotonlyanItalianbutalsoaninternationalcommunity.
