EVOLVE - A Bridge between Probability, Set Oriented Numerics, and Evolutionary Computation V

This volume encloses research articles that were presented at the EVOLVE 2014 International Conference in Beijing, China, July 14, 2014. The book gathers contributions that emerged from the conference tracks, ranging from probability to set oriented numerics and evolutionary computation; all complemented by the bridging purpose of the conference, e.g. Complex Networks and Landscape Analysis, or by the more application oriented perspective. The novelty of the volume, when considering the EVOLVE series, comes from targeting also the practitioner's view. This is supported by the Machine Learning Applied to Networks and Practical Aspects of Evolutionary Algorithms tracks, providing surveys on new application areas, as in the networking area and useful insights in the development of evolutionary techniques, from a practitioner's perspective. Complementary to these directions, the conference tracks supporting the volume, follow on the individual advancements of the subareas constituting the scope of the conference, through the Computational Game Theory, Local Search and Optimization, Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Multi-objective optimization tracks.

Latest research on Probability, Set Oriented Numerics and volutionary Computation Results of EVOLVE 2014 conference held July 1-4 2014 at Beijing, China Written by experts in the field of Evolutionary Computation and Intelligent Computing
