to be held as part of the
2017 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2017)
July 15th-19th 2017, Berlin, Germany
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org
Submission deadline for this workshop: *March 27th, 2017*
DESCRIPTION & TOPICS:
Evolutionary computation (EC) methods are applied in many different
domains. Therefore soundly engineered, reusable, flexible,
user-friendly, and interoperable software systems are more than ever
required to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical
application. However, due to the heterogeneity of the application
domains and the large number of EC methods, the development of such
systems is both, time consuming and complex. Consequently many EC
researchers still implement individual and highly specialized software
which is often developed from scratch, concentrates on a specific
research question, and does not follow state of the art software
engineering practices. By this means the chance to reuse existing
systems and to provide systems for others to build their work on is not
sufficiently seized within the EC community. In many cases the developed
systems are not even publicly released, which makes the comparability
and traceability of research results very hard.
This workshop enables EC researchers to exchange their ideas on how to
develop and apply generic and reusable EC software systems and to
present open and freely available solutions on which others can build
their work on. Furthermore, the workshop should help to identify common
efforts in the development of EC software systems and should highlight
cooperation potentials and synergies between different research groups.
It concentrates on the importance of high-quality software systems and
professional software engineering in the field of EC and provides a
platform for EC researchers to discuss the following and other related
topics:
* development and application of generic and reusable EC software systems
* architectural and design patterns for EC software systems
* software modeling of EC algorithms and problems
* open-source EC software systems
* expandability, interoperability, and standardization
* comparability and traceability of research results
* graphical user interfaces and visualization
* comprehensive statistical and graphical results analysis
* parallelism and performance
* usability and automation
* comparison and evaluation of EC software systems
