This book comprises a selection of papers from the EVOLVE 2012 held in Mexico City Mexico. The
aim of the EVOLVE is to build a bridge between probability set oriented numerics and
evolutionary computing as to identify new common and challenging research aspects. The
conference is also intended to foster a growing interest for robust and efficient methods with
a sound theoretical background. EVOLVE is intended to unify theory-inspired methods and
cutting-edge techniques ensuring performance guarantee factors. By gathering researchers with
different backgrounds a unified view and vocabulary can emerge where the theoretical
advancements may echo in different domains. Summarizing the EVOLVE focuses on challenging
aspects arising at the passage from theory to new paradigms and aims to provide a unified view
while raising questions related to reliability performance guarantees and modeling. The papers
of the EVOLVE 2012 make a contribution to this goal.
