Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2020, held as part of Evo2020, in Seville, Spain, in April 2020, co-located with the Evo2020 events EuroGP, EvoMUSART and EvoApplications.
The 14 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers cover a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the foundations of evolutionary computation algorithms and other search heuristics, to their accurate design and application to combinatorial optimization problems.
