This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd European Conference on Genetic Programming, EuroGP 2019, held as part of Evo* 2019, in Leipzig, Germany, in April 2019, co-located with the Evo* events EvoCOP, EvoMUSART, and EvoApplications.The 12 revised full papers and 6 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. They cover a wide range of topics and reflect the current state of research in the field. With a special focus on real-world applications in 2019, the papers are devoted to topics such as the test data design in software engineering, fault detection and classification of induction motors, digital circuit design, mosquito abundance prediction, machine learning and cryptographic function design.

Ever since the historical discovery of the now-famous Lorenz system in 1963, a large number of nonlinear systems that can produce chaos have been - served,constructedandanalyzed. Infact,chaostheoryhasbecomeindispe- able for science and engineering at all levels of research today. The most - tive recent researchincludes chaos controland chaos synchronization,among others, with a visible trend toward real-world applications. The book titled "Evolutionary Algorithms and Chaotic Systems", edited by Ivan Zelinka, Sergej Celikovsky, Hendrik Richter and Guanrong Chen, is a timely volume to be welcome by the chaos community as well as c- putational intelligence community and beyond. This book is devoted to the studies of common and related subjects in two intensive research ?elds of chaos theory and evolutionary computation. It was not typical that e- lutionary computing techniques are used for e?ective chaos control, chaos synchronization,chaosidenti?cation, andin particularfor chaosanalysisand synthesis, therefore this edition of collective state-of-the-art articles on such interdisciplinarysubjects isespecially valuableforthescienti?candengine- ing communities.For these reasons, I enthusiastically recommend this book to our scientists and engineers working in the ?elds of nonlinear dynamics, evolutionary algorithms, control theory, circuits and systems, and scienti?c computing alike. University of California at Berkeley, September 2009 Leon O. Chua Preface Deterministic chaos is a fairly active area of research in the last few decades. Well known chaotic attractors can even be produced by some simple three-dimensional autonomous systems of ordinary di?erential equations, for example the Lorenz system, which originates from modelling of atmospheric dynamics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation, EvoApplications 2011, held in Torino, Italy, in April 2011 colocated with the Evo* 2011 events. Thanks to the large number of submissions received, the proceedings for EvoApplications 2011 are divided across two volumes (LNCS 6624 and 6625). The present volume contains contributions for EvoCOMPLEX, EvoGAMES, EvoIASP, EvoINTELLIGENCE, EvoNUM, and EvoSTOC. The 36 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. This volume presents an overview about the latest research in EC. Areas where evolutionary computation techniques have been applied range from telecommunication networks to complex systems, finance and economics, games, image analysis, evolutionary music and art, parameter optimization, scheduling, and logistics. These papers may provide guidelines to help new researchers tackling their own problem using EC.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation, EvoApplications 2012, held in Málaga, Spain, in April 2012, colocated with the Evo* 2012 events EuroGP, EvoCOP, EvoBIO, and EvoMUSART. The 54 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. EvoApplications 2012 consisted of the following 11 tracks: EvoCOMNET (nature-inspired techniques for telecommunication networks and other parrallel and distributed systems), EvoCOMPLEX (algorithms and complex systems), EvoFIN (evolutionary and natural computation in finance and economics), EvoGAMES (bio-inspired algorithms in games), EvoHOT (bio-inspired heuristics for design automation), EvoIASP (evolutionary computation in image analysis and signal processing), EvoNUM (bio-inspired algorithms for continuous parameter optimization), EvoPAR (parallel implementation of evolutionary algorithms), EvoRISK (computational intelligence for risk management, security and defense applications), EvoSTIM (nature-inspired techniques in scheduling, planning, and timetabling), and EvoSTOC (evolutionary algorithms in stochastic and dynamic environments).

This book is concerned with recent advances in fitness landscapes. The concept of fitness landscapes originates from theoretical biology and refers to a framework for analysing and visualizing the relationships between genotypes, phenotypes and fitness. These relationships lay at the centre of attempts to mathematically describe evolutionary processes and evolutionary dynamics.The book addresses recent advances in the understanding of fitness landscapes in evolutionary biology and evolutionary computation. In the volume, experts in the field of fitness landscapes present these findings in an integrated way to make it accessible to a number of audiences: senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, theoretical biology, physics, applied mathematics and engineering, but also researcher looking for a reference or/and entry point into using fitness landscapes for analysing algorithms. Also practitioners wanting to employ fitness landscape techniques for evaluating bio- and nature-inspired computing algorithms can find valuable material in the book. For teaching proposes, the book could also be used as a reference handbook.
