This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 21st International Conference
on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoApplications 2018 held in Parma Italy in
April 2018 collocated with the Evo* 2018 events EuroGP EvoCOP and EvoMUSART. The 59 revised
full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. EvoApplications
2018 combined research from 14 different domains: business analytics and finance (EvoBAFIN)
computational biology (EvoBIO) communication networks and other parallel and distributed
systems (EvoCOMNET) complex systems (EvoCOMPLEX) energy-related optimization (EvoENERGY)
games and multi-agent systems (EvoGAMES) image analysis signal processing and pattern
recognition (EvoIASP) realworld industrial and commercial environments (EvoINDUSTRY)
knowledge incorporation in evolutionary computation (EvoKNOW) continuous parameter
optimization (EvoNUM) parallel architectures and distributed infrastructures (EvoPAR)
evolutionary robotics (EvoROBOT) nature-inspired algorithms in software engineering and
testing (EvoSET) and stochastic and dynamic environments (EvoSTOC).
