Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
open-in-new
<p>The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) is the premier conference in the area of <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_computation/qXyxPI8j">genetic and evolutionary computation</a>. GECCO has been held every year since 1999, when it was first established as a recombination of the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP). </p><p>GECCO presents the latest high-quality results in genetic and evolutionary computation. Topics of interest include: <a href="/facts/Genetic_algorithms/WP2AFWuW">genetic algorithms</a>, <a href="/facts/Genetic_programming/kGa2jr0w">genetic programming</a>, <a href="/facts/Evolution_strategies/88T0MMkv">evolution strategies</a>, <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_programming/L2k2xPdI">evolutionary programming</a>, <a href="/facts/Estimation_of_distribution_algorithm/oeGEPIv4">estimation of distribution algorithms</a>, <a href="/facts/Memetic_algorithms/m1oMttra">memetic algorithms</a>, <a href="/facts/Hyper-heuristics/gMrlGG87">hyper-heuristics</a>, <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_robotics/plY5k4cX">evolutionary robotics</a>, <a href="/facts/Evolvable_hardware/a5pVKyX2">evolvable hardware</a>, <a href="/facts/Artificial_life/YcA6tvfe">artificial life</a>, <a href="/facts/Ant_colony_optimization_algorithms/SXGYs630">ant colony optimization algorithms</a>, <a href="/facts/Swarm_intelligence/fI8461G4">swarm intelligence</a>, <a href="/facts/Artificial_immune_system/SxB3gsaB">artificial immune systems</a>, digital <a href="/facts/Entertainment_technology/qxcB2ChA">entertainment technologies</a>, <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_art/YyX1kdmN">evolutionary art</a>, evolutionary <a href="/facts/Combinatorial_optimization/PTcloS79">combinatorial optimization</a>, <a href="/facts/Metaheuristic/ECF71Rez">metaheuristics</a>, evolutionary <a href="/facts/Multi-objective_optimization/1Hb4gjGJ">multi-objective optimization</a>, evolutionary <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a>, <a href="/facts/Search-based_software_engineering/5fPGEJns">search-based software engineering</a>, theory, real-world applications, and more. </p><p>Other important conferences in the field are <a href="/facts/IEEE_Congress_on_Evolutionary_Computation/MDCftmJx">IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation</a> (CEC), <a href="/facts/Parallel_Problem_Solving_from_Nature/rHVXr1cT">Parallel Problem Solving from Nature</a> (PPSN) and <a href="/facts/EvoStar/jWLoqehy">EvoStar</a> (a group name for four co-located conferences, EuroGP, EvoCOP, EvoMUSART, and EvoApplications). </p><p>GECCO is the main annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (SIGEVO), which is a <a href="/facts/Association_for_Computing_Machinery/abI2atlP">Special Interest Group</a> (SIG) of the <a href="/facts/Association_for_Computing_Machinery/abI2atlP">Association for Computing Machinery</a> (ACM). </p>
