IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation
Encyclopedia
The IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) is one of the largest and most important conferences within Evolutionary computation
(EC), the other conferences of similar importance being Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) and Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN).
CEC, which is organized by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
in cooperation with the Evolutionary Programming Society, covers most subtopics of EC, such as Evolutionary robotics
, Multiobjective optimization
, Evolvable hardware
, Theory of evolutionary computation, Evolutionary design etc. Papers can also be found that deal with topics which are related to rather than part of EC, such Ant colony optimization
, Swarm intelligence
and Quantum computing.
The conference usually attracts several hundreds of attendees, as well as hundreds of papers.
Evolutionary computation
In computer science, evolutionary computation is a subfield of artificial intelligence that involves combinatorial optimization problems....

Evolutionary robotics
Evolutionary robotics is a methodology that uses evolutionary computation to develop controllers for autonomous robots. Algorithms in ER frequently operate on populations of candidate controllers, initially selected from some distribution. This population is then repeatedly modified according to...
, Multiobjective optimization
Multiobjective optimization
Multi-objective optimization , also known as multi-criteria or multi-attribute optimization, is the process of simultaneously optimizing two or more conflicting objectives subject to certain constraints....
, Evolvable hardware
Evolvable hardware
Evolvable hardware is a new field about the use of evolutionary algorithms to create specialized electronics without manual engineering. It brings together reconfigurable hardware, artificial intelligence, fault tolerance and autonomous systems...
, Theory of evolutionary computation, Evolutionary design etc. Papers can also be found that deal with topics which are related to rather than part of EC, such Ant colony optimization
Ant colony optimization
In computer science and operations research, the ant colony optimization algorithm ' is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs....
, Swarm intelligence
Swarm intelligence
Swarm intelligence is the collective behaviour of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial. The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence...
