AIMS:
TPNC is a conference series intending to cover the wide spectrum of
computational principles, models and techniques inspired by
information processing in nature. TPNC 2020 will reserve significant
room for young scholars at the beginning of their career and
particular focus will be put on methodology. The conference aims at
attracting contributions to nature-inspired models of computation,
synthesizing nature by means of computation, nature-inspired
materials, and information processing in nature.
Previous events took place in Tarragona, Cáceres, Granada, Mieres,
Sendai, Prague, Dublin and Kingston.
VENUE:
TPNC 2020 will take place in Taoyuan, in northwestern Taiwan,
neighboring Taipei and home to many industrial parks and tech company
headquarters.

Participate in our competition, it’s a WIN-WIN situation
Why?
----
(1) Participants match up with other researchers who think they have
the best optimisation algorithm available.
(2) Organisers collect data from test suites to further improve the
benchmark and push real-world benchmarking a step forward.
And there are more reasons: Games are a very interesting topic that
motivates a lot of research and have repeatedly been suggested as
testbeds for AI algorithms. Key features of games are
controllability, safety and repeatability. Moreover, they also feature
the ability to simulate properties of real-world problems such as
measurement noise, uncertainty and the existence of multiple
objectives.
A popular topic within the area are game optimisation problems, where
the task is to find solutions representing game content that optimise
a given objective function. That’s why we compiled the Game Benchmark
for Evolutionary Algorithms (GBEA) from problems like these, which
provides you with the chance to try your algorithm in a
real-world-like scenario.
What?
-----
What is the competition about?
* Single and bi-objective suites from two interesting games
* Continuous and integer search spaces, type depending on game
=> 2 x 2 = 4 combinations (tracks) all together
You are of course free to choose one or multiple tracks that
interest you most!
What exactly is a contribution? What do you need to submit?
* COCO Logs
Yep, we use COCO (https://secure-web.cisco.com/1DhSx2YY9zJniV2wjuevp4-PFiNgfEb0j9ewHaT2H9pxDJqSR0W2zBQFJ3mZz5paQqo8_bEMkxNRZpPLzsc0XUJ5mxcxRLAgLhNCOENUUppI_ghSbvrRav4o0pV_QogSG5CZUH_b58V1i3CNtQspZOsfAmcZhmtHiTMYy-ATq78YsM4yrIXo7v9-YdDKtGuzyUCjRkRph35ekmZUpGAc26X5zgV--OyrA8IQBsfrmq8dqslcy3FlKSmhUiD3t2jUIu7fYhvPOrFpJzEQt_RIcXSkxXVLXZ3eVwYvUZZXjR8cJmDHxxaVZr6fPaskTt3yjbvdU_LGy9jersf_1z9ugRePGZE8jgqHOvOkIwQOILlDmN_37IjN-P-PkRkT8rXmJl4DqOaChKT-3CDqwB4X9JXnAF_MYPOdf0tYkdmD44P62Kw1QASEMDqpzPngqC6NaPGmDWimRc-eb0HSztUo5rA/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fttusar%2Fcoco%2Ftree%2Fgbea%29 to
compare results. GBEA is integrated in COCO as four stand-alone
problem suites. This allows for an easy comparison of algorithms.
*Access to the code
We would like access (link to a repository, the code sent, or at
least a description of it) to reproduce or at least retrace the
results to determine the winner.

The 21st 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 in the city of Seville, Spain, 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), in a joint event collectively known
as EvoStar (Evo*).
Accepted papers will be published by Springer Nature in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series.

On behalf of the IEEE CEC 2021 Organizing Committee, it is our great
pleasure to invite you to the annual IEEE Congress on Evolutionary
Computation (CEC), which is one of the leading events in the area of
evolutionary computation. CEC provides a forum to bring together
researchers and practitioners from all over the world to present and
discuss their research findings on evolutionary computation.
IEEE CEC 2021 will be held at Auditorium Maximum of the Jagiellonian
University, Krakow, Poland. Kraków is the second largest and one of
the oldest cities in Poland, situated in the south of the country. The
city is regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful cities and its
historic centre is placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Old and
modern architecture with vibrant centers of social life are the town's
strong assets. Kraków is also a mecca for innovative business and is
called the Polish Silicon Valley.
Call for Papers
Papers for IEEE CEC 2021 should be submitted electronically through
the Congress website at http://secure-web.cisco.com/1O1dzb2oS1RIG7Z7vmLgNDLSbErOjtevlluszhelosS-N3f9iJIk6Xv8TOiqj0_5BThHmLzdioa4pLy-yE08Aw99cgGFfVi2ZGv4WWGXLvWDZjLVK8-IMcCQ5izzBmdhcDw_o9c48xZ6MiNQJq2_gkVhrcrpnE4d6_EtDf4bYI39ULv3s4T8pHX98qmbB1gPtutAjP4q4ocCg2DhC4dJ0GaZG4NLL_wJYApwb62S-Pu8DxU7PyuCFB6iXfwNSuMRI5SYdNQtLEqO7y5QA9hQpBPhEVjsigoR0i-tAVhAZnzvMgjvGcACqC2U3G99zBoDYTUggnBfpMb7fTR634cudToGUPRfrt6ZKaA1uI_0hUJ7zFI2DesMM8afEwoZOokWTMa3GWYRMam1j2k2kJohFT9oN4Nk74UJmCzABmefVeg9OUxg-UtQMGhiYB-vWlKtqDErQ9DquzSihO1vRJF26xw/http%3A%2F%2Fcec2021.mini.pw.edu.pl
Call for Special Sessions
Special session proposals are invited to IEEE CEC 2021. A special
session proposal should include the title, aim and scope (including a
list of main topics), and the names of the organizers of the special
session, together with short biographies of all organizers. A list of
potential contributors would be helpful.
All special sessions proposals should be submitted to the Special
Session Chairs: Sung-Bae Cho ([log in to unmask]) and Jarosław Arabas
([log in to unmask]).
Call for Workshops
IEEE CEC 2021 will host a few pre-Congress workshops, focusing on
discussing contemporary topics in Evolutionary Computation. Workshops
offer the opportunity to polarize ideas towards a common vision for a
sub-field, or the development of a position on topic. Workshops may
include tutorials, keynote / invited lectures, contributed papers and
presentations, or panel discussions. A workshop proposal should
include a workshop title and a short introduction to the topic, a
short description of aims and relevance of the proposed workshop to
IEEE CEC 2021, a list of potential speakers, the expected length of
the workshop (half a day or a full day), the workshop tentative form
and structure, names, affiliations, websites and bios of the
organizers.
Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit their proposals
to the Workshop Chair: Maria Ganzha ([log in to unmask]).
Call for Competitions
IEEE CEC 2021 will host competitions to stimulate research in
Evolutionary Computation, promote fair evaluations, and attract
congress participants. The proposals for competitions should include
descriptions of the problems addressed, motivations and expected
impact on evolutionary computation, data description, evaluation
procedures and established baselines, schedules, anticipated number of
participants, and short biographies of the main organizers.
Prospective competition organizers are invited to submit their
proposals to the Competition Chairs: Simon Lucas
([log in to unmask]) and Julian Togelius ([log in to unmask]).
Call for Tutorials
The IEEE CEC 2021 solicits proposals for tutorials aimed at
researchers, students and practicing professionals. Tutorials offer a
unique opportunity to disseminate in-depth information on specific
topics in evolutionary computation. A tutorial proposal should include
the title, short introduction to the topic, an outline of the
tutorial, expected length of the tutorial (two, four or six houres),
the level of the tutorial (introductory or advanced), and names,
affiliations, websites, and bios of presenters.
If you are interested in proposing a tutorial, would like to recommend
someone who might be interested, or have questions about tutorials,
please contact the Tutorial Chair: Mengjie Zhang
([log in to unmask]).
