Randomized search heuristics such as evolutionary algorithms,
genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, ant colony and particle
swarm optimization turn out to be highly successful for
optimization in practice. The theory of randomized search
heuristics, which has been growing rapidly in the last five years,
also attempts to explain the success of the methods in practical
applications.This book covers both classical results and the most
recent theoretical developments in the field of randomized search
heuristics such as runtime analysis, drift analysis and
convergence. Each chapter provides an overview of a particular
domain and gives insights into the proofs and proof techniques of
more specialized areas. Open problems still remain widely in
randomized search heuristics - being a relatively young and vast
field. These problems and directions for future research are
addressed and discussed in this book.The book will be an essential
source of reference for experts in the domain of randomized search
heuristics and also for researchers who are involved or ready to
embark in this field. As an advanced textbook, graduate students
will benefit from the comprehensive coverage of topics

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.
