[DMANET] Call for Papers: EvoApps 2023 Special Session on Analysis of Evolutionary Computation Methods (Theory, Empirics, and Real-World Applications)

Dear colleagues,

We are aware that there are already many mails about different EvoSTAR events, and we struggled whether we should add yet another one, but we thought that you might be interested to hear about our special session on

Analysis of Evolutionary Computation Methods: Theory, Empirics, and Real-World Applications
organized by Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Carola Doerr, and Christine Zarges

The main idea is to bring together people who are interested in building bridges between the theoretical analysis of EAs, their empirical evaluation, and/or their applications.
We essentially welcome all papers that motivate such a bridge and/or are explicit about how results can be transferred in one way or the other.

The official call for papers is here: https://www.evostar.org/2023/evoapps/tmp/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evostar.org%2F2022%2Fevoapps%2Ftmp%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Ce76d42e5861745542eb408daa20af8af%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C638000465251763260%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KxXPyCDnTFVo56uj916bASkw0AgQnkXESMQ5XA3bCEk%3D&reserved=0>

Submission deadline is November 1, Anywhere on Earth
The conference will take place in beautiful Brno, Czech Republic, April 12-14, 2023

Do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss a possible submission or if you have any other questions about the special session.

*****************************************************************************************************************

Theory, empirics, and practice are often considered in isolation in our research community. However, recent work has demonstrated that collaboration across the three different types of research can be highly mutually beneficial. For example, empirical results serve as proof of concept for real-world applications and inspiration for new theoretical considerations. Theoretical insights can provide necessary insights into problem properties and algorithm behaviour and hence improve the applicability of heuristics in empirics and practice. Real-world problems provide inspiration for new theoretical and empirical studies and inform the development of important benchmarks. This special session aims at bridging the gap between theory, empirics, and practice in evolutionary computation by fostering communication, discussion, and exchange across different parts of the community.

Topics of Interest:

We welcome contributions from all areas of evolutionary computation and other randomised search heuristic, irrespective of the nature of the considered problems or search spaces.

Particular areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- Carefully designed empirical studies
- Theoretical work highlighting the insights generated by the analyses performed
- Examples of successful knowledge transfer of theoretical analysis or empirical studies into a practical scenario
- Theory that is inspired by phenomena observed in practice or empirical analyses
- Efficient means to bridge the gap between theory, empirics, and practice such as benchmarking
