This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 18th International Conference
on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoApplications 2015 held in Copenhagen
Spain in April 2015 colocated with the Evo 2015 events EuroGP EvoCOP and EvoMUSART. The 72
revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 125 submissions.
EvoApplications 2015 consisted of the following 13 tracks: EvoBIO (evolutionary computation
machine learning and data mining in computational biology) EvoCOMNET (nature-inspired
techniques for telecommunication networks and other parallel and distributed systems)
EvoCOMPLEX (evolutionary algorithms and complex systems) EvoENERGY (evolutionary computation
in energy applications) EvoFIN (evolutionary and natural computation in finance and economics)
EvoGAMES (bio-inspired algorithms in games) EvoIASP (evolutionary computation in image
analysis signal processing and pattern recognition) EvoINDUSTRY (nature-inspired techniques
in industrial settings) EvoNUM (bio-inspired algorithms for continuous parameter optimization)
EvoPAR (parallel implementation of evolutionary algorithms) EvoRISK (computational
intelligence for risk management security and defence applications) EvoROBOT (evolutionary
computation in robotics) and EvoSTOC (evolutionary algorithms in stochastic and dynamic
environments).
