This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization, EMO 2013 held in Sheffield, UK, in March 2013. The 57 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections on plenary talks; new horizons; indicator-based methods; aspects of algorithm design; pareto-based methods; hybrid MCDA; decomposition-based methods; classical MCDA; exploratory problem analysis; product and process applications; aerospace and automotive applications; further real-world applications; and under-explored challenges.

Multi-criterionoptimizationreferstooptimizationproblemswithtwoormore- jectives expressing con?icting goals that are formulated within a mathematical programming framework. The problems addressed may involve linear or nonl- ear objective functions and/or constraints, continuous or discrete variables, and may or may not be a?ected by uncertainty in the data. This branch of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) ?nds application in numerous domains: en- neering design, health, transportation,telecommunications, bioinformatics, etc. The concept of a unique optimal solution does not apply as soon as multiple objectives are optimized simultaneously. The models and methods introduced in multi-criterion optimization deal with the concept of a set of e?cient (also called Pareto optimal) solutions. E?cient solutions imply trade-o?s between the di?erentcriteria. Thecomputationofthee?cientsolutionsetmaybehardwhen the size of the problem is large, when the problem is computationally complex, when the data are not crisp. It is then often impossible to guarantee the com- tation of exact solutions. In that case, approximate solutions, i. e. , sub-optimal solutionscomputedwithlimitedandcontrolledresources,suchasavailabletime, are of interest. This is the domain of multi-objective metaheuristics, of which evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO) is de?nitely the most pro- nent representative. The success of EMO is due to the simplicity of its concepts and the generality of its methods, and is clearly expressed by the many impr- sive success stories reported in the literature. Research activities in EMO have boomed since the mid-1990s. Three g- erations of work are identi?able throughout the years.

This two-volume set LNCS 11101 and 11102 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN 2018, held in Coimbra, Portugal, in September 2018. The 79 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 205 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics in natural computing including evolutionary computation, artificial neural networks, artificial life, swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems, self-organizing systems, emergent behavior, molecular computing, evolutionary robotics, evolvable hardware, parallel implementations and applications to real-world problems. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: numerical optimization; combinatorial optimization; genetic programming; multi-objective optimization; parallel and distributed frameworks; runtime analysis and approximation results; fitness landscape modeling and analysis; algorithm configuration, selection, and benchmarking; machine learning and evolutionary algorithms; and applications. Also included are the descriptions of 23 tutorials and 6 workshops which took place in the framework of PPSN XV.
