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
The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) is the premier conference in the area of genetic and evolutionary computation. GECCO has been held every year since 1999, when it was first established as a recombination of the Internat ...
(GECCO),
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, or PPSN, is a research conference focusing on the topic of natural computing.
Other conferences in the area include the ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO), the IEEE Congress on Ev ...
(PPSN) and
EvoStar (which comprises EuroGP, EvoApplications, EvoCOP, and EvoMUSART).
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 Evolutionary robotics is an embodied approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in which robots are automatically designed using Darwinian principles of natural selection. The design of a robot, or a subsystem of a robot such as a neural controller, ...

multiobjective optimization
Multi-objective optimization (also known as multi-objective programming, vector optimization, multicriteria optimization, multiattribute optimization or Pareto optimization) is an area of multiple criteria decision making that is concerned with ...
,
evolvable hardware,
theory of evolutionary computation, and
evolutionary design. Papers can also be found that deal with topics that are related to rather than part of EC, such
ant colony optimization
In computer science and operations research, the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. Artificial ants stand for multi ...
,
swarm intelligence, and
quantum computing.
The conference usually attracts several hundreds of attendees, as well as hundreds of papers.
