Help us understand its properties and peculiarities by answering this questionnaire: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1I3oE4y7fNXwQz5GgpOyDfyyPVkvxkYkH3QSwRS_53T0w9xW8rMjHLuYCLPH-7pRfIqXeOXUa4D6npcyUTB_AAU_DEiiylpbTwo2ipwQU19LvopLf2A2SB0YaCUHkxzvQGCS2eJFOgWvAvbnZdgxDPYTs0Og126q2DCmBL1MCRCYDcKvZ1qL2MNBDHB2PkQqm6OPnXc-55bKllRlVtCUob0cfph4TKyNEsqOCAy7nNI9u0FBGKL_EbfOzA5B56ZiRPaU2I9KfprIGdkBwLzPUR0WnLX8Q6-Ysy_oefjoZ7PUg75KS8ystpv83RQz1EKXGxglztnTgEU0p5Z9EFLl4Ui5HGGLRQfXh3P5ayz9WHMh-ssvMZDi4TlXqv8Fx_WHd15mfFGQ-HOum4i37Io_Cgr2s181XTcjh52Cu3izzKkK8n13vs91TvduY-BHPC3NpLRdhL1vyLnT6Tg97jQ_CWQ/https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fopt-survey We would like to learn more about the challenges of real-world optimization problems in order to align research in Evolutionary Computation (EC) more closely to the problems faced by practitioners. By participating in the questionnaire, you will enable the EC research community to develop benchmarks and algorithms that are more useful for your kind of problem. The outcomes of the questionnaire (available from https://sites.google.com/view/macoda-rwp) will also give you an overview of the types of problems your colleagues face. You can fill in the questionnaire anonymously or be acknowledged for your collaboration. Thank you for participating, The MACODA* working group on real-world optimization problems *MACODA, the Lorentz Center workshop on “Many Criteria Optimization and Decision Analysis”, held in September 2019 in Leiden, the Netherlands ******************************************************************************** Sender: Julien Lepagnot [log in to unmask] Subject: GECCO 2020 Competition on OCP and USCP - Call for participation [3rd kind reminder] Dear colleagues, This is just a gentle reminder to not forget to register to the GECCO 2020 Competition on OCP and USCP. Please note that registration is required no later than May 22, 2020. Registration is mandatory in order to compete, but it is also quick and free: simply send an email to [log in to unmask] to declare your intention to compete (it is also worth noting that taking part in this competition does not require a GECCO registration, unless a submitted GECCO Companion abstract is accepted for publication). Early registration is strongly encouraged, so that the organizing committee is aware of all entrant teams, and can then keep them informed of any update regarding the organization of the competition (e.g. deadline extension). For a short description of this competition, please refer to the call for participation just below. The winners will share a total of 1200 EUR prize sponsored by the UHA and the IRIMAS: - 1st: 600 EUR, - 2nd: 400 EUR, - 3rd: 200 EUR. Please feel free to forward this announcement to any colleagues who may be interested in this optimization competition. We are looking forward to your registrations and welcome questions and comments. ******************************************************************************** (UN)SUBSCRIPTION INSTRUCTIONS: - Send submissions (articles) to [log in to unmask] DO NOT send submissions to the [log in to unmask] address. - To subscribe send email to [log in to unmask] containing the following text in the body of the message: subscribe ec-digest-l <Your Name (up to 4 words)> - To unsubscribe send email to [log in to unmask] containing the following text in the body of the message: unsubscribe ec-digest-l - To change your email address, simply unsubscribe the old address and subscribe the new one. - Send other administrative requests to [log in to unmask] ******************************************************************************** End of Evolutionary Computation Digest ********************************************************************************
