Many real-world optimisation problems are characterised by some types of uncertainty that need to be accounted for by the algorithms used to solve the problems. These uncertainties include noise (noisy optimisation), approximations (surrogate-assisted optimisation), dynamics (dynamic/online optimisation problems) as well as the requirements for robust solutions (robust optimisation). Dealing with these uncertainties has become increasingly popular in stochastic optimisation in recent years and a variety of new techniques have been proposed. The objective of EvoSTOC is to foster interest in metaheuristics and stochastic optimisation for stochastic and dynamic environments and to provide an opportunity for researchers to meet and to present and discuss the state-of-the-arts in the field. EvoSTOC accepts contributions, both empirical and theoretical in nature, for any work relating to nature-inspired, metaheuristics and stochastic techniques applied to a domain characterised by one or more types of uncertainty.
