EvoSTOC at EVO*: "Evolutionary Algorithms in Stochastic and Dynamic
Environments"
Many real-world optimisation problems are characterised by some type of
uncertainty that needs to be accounted for by the algorithm used to
solve the problem. These uncertainties include noise (noisy
optimisation), approximations (surrogate-assisted optimisation),
dynamics (dynamic optimisation problems) as well as the requirement for
robust solutions (robust optimisation). Dealing with these uncertainties
has become increasingly popular in evolutionary computation in recent
years and a variety of new techniques have been proposed. The objective
of EvoSTOC is to foster interest in nature-inspired optimisation for
stochastic and dynamic environments and to provide an opportunity for
researchers to meet and to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in
the field. EvoSTOC accepts contributions, both empirical and theoretical
in nature, for any work relating to nature-inspired techniques applied
to a domain characterised by one or more types of uncertainty.
Areas of Interest and Contributions
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, any of the following
in the realm of nature-inspired computation:
- noisy fitness functions
- fitness approximations / surrogate-assisted optimisation
- robust solutions
- dynamic optimisation problems
- dynamic constrained optimisation problems
- dynamic multi-objective optimisation problems
- co-evolutionary domains
- real-world applications characterised by uncertainty
- optimisation in (video) games and related domains (e.g., dynamical
systems)
- theoretical results (e.g., runtime analysis) for stochastic problems
Publication Details
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of Evo*, published as
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Submission Details
Submissions must be novel and original. Submissions will be peer
reviewed by at least three members of the program committee and authors
of accepted papers are required to address the reviewer's comments to
produce a camera-ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author
of each accepted paper must register for the conference and attend the
conference to present their work.
The reviewing process will be double-blind and any information that may
identify the authors should be removed from the initial submission. The
page limit is 10 pages.
