This two-volume set LNCS 11101 and 11102 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN 2018, held in Coimbra, Portugal, in September 2018. The 79 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 205 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics in natural computing including evolutionary computation, artificial neural networks, artificial life, swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems, self-organizing systems, emergent behavior, molecular computing, evolutionary robotics, evolvable hardware, parallel implementations and applications to real-world problems. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: numerical optimization; combinatorial optimization; genetic programming; multi-objective optimization; parallel and distributed frameworks; runtime analysis and approximation results; fitness landscape modeling and analysis; algorithm configuration, selection, and benchmarking; machine learning and evolutionary algorithms; and applications. Also included are the descriptions of 23 tutorials and 6 workshops which took place in the framework of PPSN XV.

The 2nd International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimi- tion (EMO 2003) was held on April 8-11, 2003, at the University of the Algarve in Faro, Portugal. This was the second international conference dedicated en- rely to this important topic, following the very successful EMO 2001 conference, whichwasheldinZuric .. h,Switzerland,inMarch2001.EMO2003wasco-located with the IFAC International Conference on Intelligent Control Systems and S- nal Processing (ICONS 2003), exposing EMO to a wider audience of scientists and engineers. The EMO 2003 scienti?c program included two keynote addresses, one given byDavidScha?eronoptimizationandmachinelearninginindustry,andanother delivered by Pekka Korhonen on multiple-criteria decision making. In addition, three tutorials were presented, one on multicriterion decision analysis by - lerie Belton, another on multiobjective evolutionary algorithms by Kalyanmoy Deb, and a third on multiple objective metaheuristics by Andrzej Jaszkiewicz. The President of the Portuguese Innovation Agency, Prof. Jo" ao Silveira Lobo, and the President of the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, Prof.Fernando Ramoa Ribeiro, attended the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony, respectively. In response to the call for papers, 100 full-length papers were submitted from 27 countries. Fifty-six papers were accepted for presentation at the conference after thorough reviewing by members of the program committee and they are contained in this volume. April 2003 Carlos M. Fonseca, Peter J. Fleming, Eckart Zitzler, Kalyanmoy Deb, and Lothar Thiele Organization EMO 2003 was organized by CSI (Centre for Intelligent Systems, University of the Algarve, Portugal) with the support of EvoNet (European Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization, EMO 2009, held in Nantes, France in April 2009. The 39 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on theoretical analysis, uncertainty and noise, algorithm development, performance analysis and comparison, applications, MCDM Track, Many objectives, alternative methods, as well as EMO and MCDA.
