   Evolutionary Computation in Practice

Organization ECP Track 2013

The Evolutionary Computation in Practice (ECP) track GECCO 2013 is dedicated to the discussion of issues related to practical application of Evolutionary Computation. Members from industry, governmental agencies, and other public sectors present and discuss how EC-related technologies are being used to solve real-world problems. Bridging academic training and real-world usage is also addressed.

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
  • provide top-level presentations of techniques across industries and organizations
  • help students learn how to get employment in EC
  • provide a forum in which practitioners of real-world systems can describe their approaches in a non-technical way
  • provide descriptions of the way that practitioners have created and run successful EC projects

open panel discussion

Ask the Experts
This lively session consists of a panel of experts with decades of real-world application experience answering questions posed by attendees of the sessions. In the past, we have always had two or three discussions on industrial problems that lie on the cutting edge of EA development. This session gives you the opportunity to get free consulting from the experts!

Optimization in Industry
In this session industry speakers will be presenting. They actually run companies in the field of optimization and applied statistics. If you attend, you will learn multiple ways to extend EC practice beyond the approaches found in textbooks.

Experts in real-world optimization with decades of experience share their approaches to creating successful projects for real-world clients. Some of what they do is based on sound project management principles, and some is specific to our type of optimization projects. In this session a panel of experts describes a range of techniques you can use to identify, design, manage, and successfully complete an EA project for a client.

Academic Aspects
Well-known speakers with outstanding reputation in academia and industry present background and insider information on how to establish reliable cooperation with industrial partners. If you are working in academia and are interested in managing industrial projects, you will receive valuable hints for your own research projects.

Getting a Job
Getting a job with training in evolutionary computation can be much easier if you know the things to do and the things not to do in your last year or two of study. In this session you will hear from a panel of experts who have trained students and who have hired students to carry out real-world optimization. Highly recommended if you will be looking for a job in the next few years - or if you are thinking of changing jobs.
