EvoStar - The Leading European Event on Bio-Inspired Computation

EuroGP, EvoCOP, EvoBIO, EvoMUSART and EvoApplications

3-5 April 2013 - Vienna, Austria

EvoStar comprises the premier co-located conferences in the field of
Bio-Inspired Computing:
EuroGP, EvoCOP, EvoBIO, EvoMUSART and EvoApplications.

Featuring the latest in theoretical and applied research, EvoStar topics
include recent genetic programming challenges, evolutionary and other
meta-heuristic approaches for combinatorial optimization, evolutionary
algorithms, machine learning and data mining techniques in the
biosciences, in numerical optimization, in music and art domains, in
image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition, in finance
and economics, computer games, risk management, security and defence
applications, communication networks, parallel and distributed
infrastructures, dynamic and stochastic environments and in a wide range
of applications to scientific, industrial, financial and other
real-world problems.

The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.
