The 2024 edition of Evostar, the leading European event on bioinspired computation, runs on-site at Aberystwyth University and online. #evostar2024 SPECIES Society

#evostar2024 poster session from an external perspective Evostar

Opportunities presented at Evostar included #COSTaction Randomised Optimisation Algorithms Research Network (ROAR-NET). For joining, see roar-net.eu

About 40 Grant Awarding Coordinators from the new #COSTactions are attending the first COST Academy online workshop today. Useful information and experience sharing!

#COSTaction ROAR-NET publishes its first Call for Inclusiveness Target Country (ITC) Conference Grant applications. For detailed information on this Call, including the application and evaluation processes, see roar-net.eu/first-call-itc…

Spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the green landscape #nature #spring #hiking

Automatic design of #metaheuristics: The future of #optimization? Artificial intelligence researchers say stop to metaphor-based design of optimization algorithms. News release: eurekalert.org/news-releases/… Full paper: doi.org/10.34133/icomp…

Following the recently published Call for ITC Conference Grant applications, the first ROAR-NET Call for Short-Term Scientific Missions is now open to support research visits contributing to the goals of the #COSTaction. Details at roar-net.eu/first-stsm-call

Promoting ROAR-NET #COSTaction at the International Conference on Optimization and Learning, OLA2024. The first round of applications for Short-Term Scientific Missions is due 20 May 2024 roar-net.eu/first-stsm-call

Want to find more about the Randomised Optimisation Algorithms Research Network (ROAR-NET)? We are presenting it in the Evolutionary Computation in Practice (ECiP) session GECCO 2024 today at 11:00 (Melbourne time) roar-net.eu

#COSTaction CA22137 Randomised Optimisation Algorithms Research Network (ROAR-NET) was presented GECCO 2024'24 this morning. Further information will be available in the ROAR-NET meet-up today at 19:30 (Melbourne time). COST
