This biennial event was ?rst held in Dortmund in 1990, and then in Brussels (1992), Jerusalem (1994), Berlin (1996), Amsterdam (1998), Paris (2000), Granada (2002), and Birmingham(2004).PPSNcontinuestobetheconferenceofchoicebyresearchers all over the world, who value its high quality. We received 255 paper submissions this year. After an extensive peer review process involving more than 1000 reviews, the programme committee selected the top 106 papers for inclusion in this volume and, of course, for presentation at the conference. This represents an acceptance rate of 42%. The papers included in this volume cover a wide range of topics, from e- lutionary computation to swarm intelligence and from bio-inspired computing to real-world applications. They represent some of the latest and best research in evolutionary and natural computation. Following the PPSN tradition, all - pers at PPSN IX were presented as posters. There were 7 sessions: each session consisting of around 15 papers. For each session, we covered as wide a range of topics as possible so that participants with di?erent interests could ?nd some relevant papers in every session.Lecture notes in computer science ;4193.LNCS sublibrary.SL 1,Theoretical computer science and general issues.PPSN IXPPSN 9PPSN nineParallel processing (Electronic computers)CongressesEvolutionary computationCongressesParallel processing (Electronic computers)Evolutionary computation004.35Runarsson Thomas Philip1762220Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from NatureMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483276303321Parallel problem solving from nature-- PPSN IX4202004UNINA
