Evo* - The main European events on Evolutionary Computation
  	 
Evo* joins the Europe's premier co-located events in the field of
evolutionary computing, namely the EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO conferences and
workshops collectively entitled EvoWorkshops. The 2008 event will take place
in Naples/Napoli, Italy. Featuring the latest in theoretical and applied
research, the topics will include recent genetic programming challenges,
evolutionary and other meta-heuristic approaches for combinatorial
optimisation, 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 and financial
optimisation problems.
