This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th European Conference on Evolutionary
Computation in Combinatorial Optimization EvoCOP 2019 held as part of Evo* 2019 in Leipzig
Germany in April 2019 co-located with the Evo* 2019 events EuroGP EvoMUSART and
EvoApplications.The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from
37 submissions. The papers cover a wide spectrum of topics ranging from the foundations of
evolutionary computation algorithms and other search heuristics to their accurate design and
application to both single- and multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems.
Fundamental and methodological aspects deal with runtime analysis the structural properties of
fitness landscapes the study of metaheuristics core components the clever design of their
search principles and their careful selection and configuration. Applications cover domains
such as scheduling routing partitioning and general graph problems.
