<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#003C3C">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 2024 aims
to promote research on theory and applications in the field. Topics of interest include:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
