CEC 2017 - 2017 IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation

IEEE CEC is a world-class conference that aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote lectures, regular and special sessions, tutorials, and competitions as well as poster presentations. In addition, participants will be treated to a series of social functions, receptions, and networking to establish new connections and foster everlasting friendship among fellow counterparts.
Donostia/San Sebastian is a coastal medium-size city located in northern Spain, 20km from the border with France. It stands as an amphitheatre over-looking the sea. It is known the world over for its spectacular bay and is referred to as the Pearl of the Cantabrian Sea. It is also internationally renowned for being a culinary haven where visitors will find more Michelin stars per square meter than in any other city in the world. The conference will take place at the Kursaal Convention Center and Auditorium. Kursaal is located in the city centre, overlooking the seafront. This avant-garde architectural showpiece was designed by Rafael Moneo and won the Mies van der Rohe prize for the best building in Europe in 2001. The main hotels, restaurants and shopping areas are within walking distance.
