[DMANET] Call for Abstracts: August 7, 2024 ("30th birthday of estimation-of-distribution algorithms" Workshop within PPSN-2024)

Dear colleagues,


As part of the 18th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving
>From Nature (PPSN 2024), a prime international conference on
evolutionary and other randomized search heuristics, we are organizing
an informal workshop to celebrate the 30th birthday of
estimation-of-distribution algorithms (EDAs), defined here as the 30th
anniversary of the definition of the population-based incremental
learning (PBIL) algorithm in 1994.

We invite researchers and practitioners in the area of
estimation-of-distribution algorithms to contribute a short talk to this
workshop, covering current or recent own research, discussing important
classic results and their impact on the field today, or proposing novel
research directions. If you would like to give such a talk, please send
us a short abstract by August 7, 2024. For details on the submission
process and more information on the workshop, please consult the
workshop page at

All the best,

Concha Bielza, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
Benjamin Doerr, LIX, École Polytechnique
John McCall, Robert Gordon University
Weijie Zheng, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen
