of genetic and evolutionary computation. Topics include genetic algorithms, genetic programming, swarm intelligence, complex systems, evolutionary combinatorial optimization and metaheuristics, evolutionary machine learning, evolutionary multiobjective optimization,
evolutionary numerical optimization, neuroevolution, real world applications, search-based software engineering, theory, hybrids, and also two new tracks: 1) learning for evolutionary computation; 2) benchmarking, benchmarks, software, and reproducibility.
