__Introduction__
Many engineering problems of both theoretical and practical interest involve choosing the best configuration of a set of parameters to achieve a specified objective. Numerical optimisation refers to the case when these parameters take continuous real values, as opposed to combinatorial optimisation, which deals with discrete values. Examples include designing production processes for maximum efficiency, optimal parameter adjustment for controllers and many others. EvoNUM focuses on such problems.
We seek high quality papers involving the application of bio-inspired algorithms (genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, differential evolution, particle swarm optimization, evolutionary programming, simulated annealing... and their hybrids) to continuous optimisation problems. We also welcome cross-fertilisation between Nature-inspired algorithms and more classical numerical optimisation algorithms.
EvoNUM deals with engineering applications where continuous parameters or functions have to be optimised, in fields such as control, chemistry, agriculture, electricity, building and construction, energy, aerospace engineering, design optimisation...
The EvoNUM track within the EvoApplications Conference will be part of Evo* 2016, a joint event which will also incorporate EuroGP 2016, the 19th European Conference on Genetic Programming, EvoCOP 2016, the 16th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation, and EvoMUSART 2016, the 5th International Conference on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design.
