This e-book constitutes the refereed complaints of the 14th overseas convention on Parallel challenge fixing from Nature, PPSN 2016, held in Edinburgh, united kingdom, in September 2016.

The overall of ninety three revised complete papers have been conscientiously reviewed and chosen from 224 submissions.
The assembly begun with 4 workshops which provided an incredible chance to discover particular issues in clever transportation Workshop, landscape-aware heuristic seek, common computing in scheduling and timetabling, and advances in multi-modal optimization.

PPSN XIV additionally integrated 16 loose tutorials to provide us the entire chance to profit approximately new facets: grey field optimization in conception; concept of evolutionary computation; graph-based and cartesian genetic programming; idea of parallel evolutionary algorithms; selling range in evolutionary optimization: why and the way; evolutionary multi-objective optimization; clever structures for shrewdpermanent towns; advances on multi-modal optimization; evolutionary computation in cryptography; evolutionary robotics - a realistic advisor to test with actual undefined; evolutionary algorithms and hyper-heuristics; a bridge among optimization over manifolds and evolutionary computation; enforcing evolutionary algorithms within the cloud; the attainment functionality method of functionality evaluate in EMO; runtime research of evolutionary algorithms: uncomplicated advent; meta-model assisted (evolutionary) optimization.
The papers are equipped in topical sections on adaption, self-adaption and parameter tuning; differential evolution and swarm intelligence; dynamic, doubtful and limited environments; genetic programming; multi-objective, many-objective and multi-level optimization; parallel algorithms and concerns; real-word functions and modeling; thought; range and panorama analysis.
