The ECP track at GECCO 2011 is a three days event running from Thursday 14th July until Saturday 16th July 2011.

Our high calibre speakers come from various industry sectors as well as from academia.
Discussion forums such as "Ask the Experts" are addressing issues, solutions as well as best practice recommendations for real-world EC applications. The open forum "Getting a Job" is designed for EC students to improve their employability by honing their profile to address the actual needs of industry. Industry is most welcome to join these discussions.

The presentations "Managing EC project", "EC in Design and Optimization" and "EC in Statistics and EA consultancy" showcase real-world projects and introduce best practice approaches from experienced EC users.

Purposes

Evolutionary Computation in Practice has several purposes:

serve as a place for industrial and government attendees to talk and learn of new EC approaches that they can use
