Session details: VizGEC'15 Workshop

We are pleased to welcome you to the sixth workshop on visualisation in genetic and evolutionary computation, held at GECCO in Madrid 2015. This workshop continues the tradition of showcasing the latest in visualisation work in this field. Following a call for papers, four papers were accepted for presentation at the workshop. The papers cover a diverse range of topics, from population visualisation, to solution representation, presenting the lineage of evolved solutions and the use of evolutionary algorithms to visualise data in an imaging problem. In addition to the presentation of papers, we are inviting demonstrations of tools that are used by people engaged in evolutionary computation research. We hope that by presenting a range of different tools and techniques we will encourage a discussion on visualisation methods that people find useful, as well as how the current state-of-the-art can be extended, with the development of new techniques and the application of existing methods to new problems, to fulfill researchers' visualisation needs. We hope that the workshop will appeal to a wide range of GECCO attendees, from those with experience of developing novel visualisation methods, to those who simply use them as a tool to illustrate their work. We also intend that the workshop will provide an attractive opportunity for those with visualisation problems to find opportunities to engage with the visualisation community and identify potential collaborations.
