SnT is a leading international research and innovation centre in
secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. We play an
instrumental role in Luxembourg by fuelling innovation through
research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading
to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent.

We’re looking for people driven by excellence, excited about
innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you,
you’ve come to the right place!

The Parallel computing and Optimisation Group (PCOG) is led by Prof.
Pascal Bouvry and Dr. Grégoire Danoy as deputy head. PCOG conducts
research on parallel computing and optimization techniques, in
particular how different species may co-evolve taking local decisions
while ensuring global objectives, to tackle large and difficult
problems. The main application domains are security, trust and
reliability; reliable scheduling and routing on new generations of
networks; sustainable development and systems biomedicine; Unmanned
autonomous vehicles (UAV), Smart Cities. Detailed information about
the group is available at http://secure-web.cisco.com/1FXno18NCwgGTTU1158blOllWOmGH_ClW7f-dcH4itoqlNrfJbs-fJgEYhbZuPnL8DNnEtjkPkAjT4c14bFQ2iC78nlM2ehx7GevHdKcMZV6CJK5gJHD7RDgQYU8cj3QVxCO5dtUjxFC8j7Qks0zwvqekMg8d7ZNm-DCIbbzEUk4ZcaC6mOWYDYGp1-v3LBVL9teB0I3iLzVlSoXnGxoPWBwaK1jNL8FzbMiuIPVp1mOrYe6afqIyXtbnIwyA9y7rxebIQZpaFLfw5vZR-sJsWbX8N3N_-OufK2qvfaccQs8sTBpBNKjIYVeloEthCo9USHXzH4wzciUqIF5xet1vS3rvLj2NWIYbUOFsYHhTRgD4nKxTTmh2CUywUBinzABL2yKOYj9vHUMJSP4u-IjnM2s-bTwVTDMxaR0DC3cUGVyhW3OXaz2Tm1Oc2pxSBWOx/http%3A%2F%2Fpcog.uni.lu%2F

******************************************

EvoStar comprises 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 the inspiration of parallel algorithms
derived from natural processes. It provides a forum for information
and exchange.

The four conferences include:

- EuroGP 25th European Conference on Genetic Programming

The 22nd European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial

Optimisation is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together
researchers working on applications and theory of evolutionary
computation methods and other metaheuristics for solving difficult
combinatorial optimisation problems appearing in various industrial,
economic, and scientific domains.

Successfully solved problems include, but are not limited to,
multi-objective, uncertain, dynamic and stochastic problems in the
context of scheduling, timetabling, network design, transportation and
distribution, vehicle routing, stringology, graphs, satisfiability,
energy optimisation, cutting, packing, planning and search-based
software engineering.

The EvoCOP 2021 conference will be held somewhere on Earth, together
with EuroGP (the 24th European Conference on Genetic Programming),
EvoMUSART (the 10th European conference on evolutionary and
biologically inspired music, sound, art and design) and
EvoApplications (the 24th European Conference on the

Applications of Evolutionary Computation), and a new special track on
Evolutionary Machine Learning in a joint event collectively known as
EvoStar (Evo*).

The aim of this special issue is to encourage research that analyses
the topic of reproducibility in EC and showcase excellent examples of
both reproducible research and reproducibility studies. Within the
context of EC, we include non-evolutionary metaheuristics, swarm
intelligence methods, stochastic local search, and hybrids with exact
methods, i.e., matheuristics. We welcome papers that deal with the
topic of reproducibility with a specific focus on the EC context,
either by analysing the current state of the field or providing
evidence that supports best practices for authors, journals or funding
bodies. Furthermore, we also welcome papers that, in addition to an
original research contribution to the field of EC, go well above the
current standards of reproducibility. Finally, we also welcome
high-quality reproducibility studies that attempt to reproduce (by
using the materials provided by the original authors) and/or replicate
(by reimplementing the materials from scratch) previously published
results of interest.
