Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization

14th European Conference, EvoCOP 2014, Granada, Spain, April 23-25, 2014, Revised Selected Papers

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, Evo COP 2014, held in Granada, Spain, in April 2014, co-located with the Evo*2014 events Euro GP, Evo BIO, Evo MUSART and Evo Applications. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: swarm intelligence algorithms, fitness landscapes and adaptive algorithms, real world and routing problems and cooperative and metaheuristic search.

During past decades, metaheuristic algorithms have been shown to be provenly
effective for a wide range of hard combinatorial optimization problems arising in a
variety of industrial, economic, and scientific settings. Well-known exam- ples of ...
