About Evostar

EvoStar comprises of four co-located conferences run each spring at different locations throughout Europe. These events arose out of workshops originally developed by EvoNet, the Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing, established by the Information Societies Technology Programme of the European Commission, and they represent a continuity of research collaboration stretching back over 20 years.

EvoStar is organised by SPECIES, the Society for the Promotion of Evolutionary Computation in Europe and its Surroundings. This non-profit academic society is committed to promoting evolutionary algorithmic thinking, with inspiration of parallel algorithms derived from natural processes. It provides a forum for information and exchange.

The four conferences include:
  • EuroGP 21st European Conference on Genetic Programming
  • EvoCOP 18th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation
  • EvoMUSART 7th International Conference (and 13th European event) on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design
  • EvoApplications 21st European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary and bio-inspired Computation including the following tracks
    • EvoBAFIN Computational Intelligence Methods in Business Analytics and Finance
    • EvoBIO Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining for Biology and Medicine
    • EvoCOMNET Application of Nature-inspired Techniques for Communication Networks and other Parallel and Distributed Systems
    • EvoCOMPLEX Applications of algorithms and complex systems
    • EvoENERGY Evolutionary Algorithms in Energy Applications
    • EvoGAMES Bio-inspired Algorithms in Games
    • EvoIASP Evolutionary computation in image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition
    • EvoINDUSTRY Evolutionary and Bio-Inspired Computational Techniques within Real-World Industrial and Commercial Environments
    • EvoKNOW Knowledge Incorporation in Evolutionary Computation
    • EvoNUM Bio-inspired algorithms for continuous parameter optimisation
    • EvoPAR Parallel and distributed Infrastructures
    • EvoROBOT Evolutionary Computation in Robotics
    • EvoSET Nature-inspired algorithms in Software Engineering and Testing
    • EvoSTOC Evolutionary Algorithms and Meta-heuristics in Stochastic and Dynamic Environments
