The primary target of the task Force is to promote research on evolutionary computation in dynamic and uncertain environments. This is an emerging area in evolutionary computation, which covers the following different but closely related topics:

• Evolutionary computation (optimization) with noisy fitness evaluations. Noise in fitness evaluations may result from many different sources such as sensory measurement errors or numerical instabilities in simulation. Basic strategies to handle noisy fitness functions include population sizing, averaging by re-sampling, or changing the selection criteria.

• Evolutionary computation (optimization) with approximate or imprecise fitness (quality) evaluations. The primary motivation to use computationally efficient but imprecise fitness evaluations is that the original fitness function is too expensive or does not exist. In comparison to noisy fitness functions, uncertainties introduced by approximate fitness evaluations are biased and cannot be reduced by re-sampling the approximate fitness function. The most popular method to obtain computationally efficient fitness evaluations is to construct a meta-model (surrogate) based on available data. Ad hoc methods such as fitness inheritance, fitness imitation or fitness assignment can also be employed.

• Evolutionary optimization where the design variables or the environmental parameters are subject to stochastic or deterministic changes. It is very common that a system to be optimized is expected to perform satisfactorily even when the design variables or the environmental parameters change within a certain range, or the system has to work on more than one pre-determined nominal point. This issue is often known as the search for robust optimal solutions.

• Evolutionary computation with a time-varying fitness function. In other words, the optimum of the system is changing with time, which requires a repeated re-optimization or even continuous tracking of the optimum. As a matter of fact, in multi-objective evolutionary computation and co-evolutionary systems, the fitness landscape changes over time.
