Thetwo volumes LNCS 9597 and 9598 constitute the refereed conference proceedingsof the 19th European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation,EvoApplications 2016, held in Porto, Portugal, in March/April 2016, co-locatedwith the Evo* 2016 events EuroGP, EvoCOP, and EvoMUSART.The57 revised full papers presented together with 17 poster papers were carefullyreviewed and selected from 115 submissions. EvoApplications 2016 consisted ofthe following 13 tracks: EvoBAFIN (natural computing methods in businessanalytics and finance), EvoBIO (evolutionary computation, machine learning anddata mining in computational biology), EvoCOMNET (nature-inspired techniquesfor telecommunication networks and other parallel and distributed systems),EvoCOMPLEX (evolutionary algorithms and complex systems), EvoENERGY(evolutionary computation in energy applications), EvoGAMES (bio-inspiredalgorithms in games), EvoIASP (evolutionary computation in image analysis,signal processing, and pattern recognition), EvoINDUSTRY (nature-inspiredtechniques in industrial settings), EvoNUM (bio-inspired algorithms forcontinuous parameter optimization), EvoPAR (parallel implementation ofevolutionary algorithms), EvoRISK (computational intelligence for riskmanagement, security and defence applications), EvoROBOT (evolutionaryrobotics), and EvoSTOC (evolutionary algorithms in stochastic and dynamicenvironments).
