About the workshop 

  

Solving real-world optimisation problems typically involve an expert or
decision-maker. Decision making tools have been found to be useful in
several such applications e.g., health care, education, environment,
transportation, business, and production. In recent years, there has also
been growing interest in merging Evolutionary Computation (EC) and
decision-making techniques for several applications. This has raised amongst
others the need to account for explainability, fairness, ethics and privacy
aspects in optimisation and decision-making. This workshop will showcase
research that is both at the interface of EC and decision making. 

The workshop on Evolutionary Computation and Decision Making (EC + DM) to be
held in GECCO 2023 aims to promote research on theory and applications in
the field. Topics of interest include: 

*	Interactive multiobjective optimisation or decision-maker in the
loop 
*	Visualisation to support DM in EC 
*	Aggregation/trade-off operators & algorithms to integrate decision
maker preferences 
*	Fuzzy logic-based DM techniques 
*	Bayesian and other DM techniques 
*	Interactive multiobjective optimisation for (computationally)
expensive problems 
*	Using surrogates (or metamodels) in DM 
*	Hybridisation of EC and DM 
*	Scalability in EC and DM 
*	DM and machine learning 
*	DM in a big data context 
*	DM in real-world applications 
*	Use of psychological tools to aid the decision-maker 
*	Fairness, ethics and societal considerations in EC and DM 
*	Explainability in EC and DM 
*	Accounting for trust and security in EC and DM 

 

Submission: 

We invite papers up to 8 pages relevant to the workshop and position papers
of up to 2 pages showing preliminary results. We also welcome posters,
demonstrations or presentations on ground-breaking theoretical and
application results in the field.  For paper submission instructions and
