EvoApplications, the International Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation -formerly known as EvoWorkshops- brings together researchers in applications of Evolutionary Computation and other Nature-inspired techniques.

EvoApplications invites high quality contributions for its 25th edition, which will be held as part of the EvoStar 2022 event and co-located within EvoStar with three related conferences: EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoMUSART.

The aim of EvoApplications is to create a friendly environment that could lead to the establishment or strengthening of scientific collaborations and exchanges among attendees.

Therefore, EvoApplications solicits high-quality original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) on any aspect of applications of Evolutionary Computation, both to real-world or methodological contexts in which Evolutionary Computation can contribute to pushing the limits of the state of the art beyond the present ones.

We encourage you to submit paper focused on interesting, relevant and original works that are related to all kinds of applications of Evolutionary Computation.

Special sessions

Joining forces, this year EvoApps together with EuroGP propose a special joint track on Evolutionary Machine Learning.

In addition to regular session, 9 special sessions will be organized on the following topics:

• Analysis of Evolutionary Computation Methods: Theory, Empirics, and Real-World Applications
• Applications of Bio-inspired techniques on Social Networks
• Applications of Nature-inspired Computing for Sustainability and Development
• Evolutionary Computation in Edge, Fog, and Cloud Computing
• Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis, Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition
• Machine Learning and AI in Digital Healthcare and Personalized Medicine
• Evolutionary Robotics
• Parallel and Distributed Systems
• Resilient Bio-Inspired Algorithms
• Soft Computing applied to Games

Researchers interested in proposing a special session are invited to do it. Please, read our Call for Special Sessions.

Submission Details

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoApplications, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science, which will be available at the Conference. Submitted papers require novel and complete research work or interesting preliminary results. Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The reviewing process will be double-blind, so please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format and provide up to five keywords in your Abstract

Page limit: 16 pages

Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=evo2022

The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts (notifications will be sent on 26 January, 2022 and the camera-ready deadline will be on 9 February, 2022). At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the conference not later than 7 March 2022, attend the conference and present the work. All authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to further disseminate their work in poster sessions.
