TY - Generic T1 - European Graduate Student Workshop on Evolutionary Computation Y1 - 2008 A1 - Di Chio, Cecilia A1 - Giacobini, Mario A1 - van Hemert, Jano ED - Di Chio, Cecilia ED - Giacobini, Mario ED - van Hemert, Jano KW - evolutionary computation AB - Evolutionary computation involves the study of problem-solving and optimization techniques inspired by principles of evolution and genetics. As any other scientific field, its success relies on the continuity provided by new researchers joining the field to help it progress. One of the most important sources for new researchers is the next generation of PhD students that are actively studying a topic relevant to this field. It is from this main observation the idea arose of providing a platform exclusively for PhD students. ER -
