Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization: 8th International Conference, EMO 2015 Guimarães, Portugal, March 29 - April 1, 2015 Proceedings, Part I

Abstract

[Excerpt] EMO is a biennial international conference series devoted to the theory and practice of evolutionary multi-criterion optimization. The first EMO took place in 2001 in Zürich (Switzerland), with later conferences taking place in Faro (Portugal) in 2003, Guanajuato (Mexico) in 2005, Matsushima- Sendai (Japan) in 2007, Nantes (France) in 2009, Ouro Preto (Brazil) in 2011, and Sheffield (UK) in 2013. The proceedings of this series of conferences have been published as a volume in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), respectively, in volumes 1993, 2632, 3410, 4403, 5467, 6576, and 7811. The 8th International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization (EMO 2015) took place in Guimarães, Portugal, from March 29 to April 1, 2015. The event was organized by the University of Minho. Following the success of the two previous EMO conferences, a special track was offered aiming to foster further cooperation between the EMO and the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM). Also, a special track on real-world applications (RWA) was endorsed. [...]
