It brought together researchers who use biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic, aesthetic, and design purposes.Researcherspresentedtheirlatestworkintheintersectionofthefields of computer science, evolutionary systems, art, and aesthetics. As always, the atmosphere was fun, friendly, and constructive. EvoMUSART has grownsteadily since its firstedition in 2003inEssex, UK, whenitwasoneoftheApplicationsofEvolutionaryComputingworkshops.Since 2012 it has been a full conference as part of the evo* co-located events. In 2014, for the first time, the evo* co-located events have published their proceedings as post-conference proceedings. This allows authors to revise their papers in the light of discussions that occured during the conference, and we believe it is a useful addition to the process. EvoMUSART2014received30submissions.Thepeer-reviewprocesswasrig- orousanddouble-blind. The internationalProgrammeCommittee, listedbelow, wascomposedof73membersfrom23countries.EvoMUSARTcontinuedtopro- videusefulfeedbacktoauthors:amongthepaperssentforfullreview,therewere on average 3.33 reviews per paper. It also continued to ensure quality by keep- ing acceptance rates low: 8 papers were accepted for oral presentation (26.7% acceptance rate), and 3 for poster presentation(36.7% acceptance rate for talks and posters combined). This volume of proceedings collects the accepted papers, which cover a wide range of topics and application areas. In particular, we emphasise that, in ac- cordance with evoMUSART’s call for papers, papers dealing with “biologically inspiredcomputertechniques”(notjustevolutionarycomputation)areregarded by evoMUSART as on-topic. All the papers described below were presented as talks, except where noted as “poster presentation”. The two Best Paper Award nominees were in the domain of interaction. Eisenmann et al. improved on their previous evoMUSART work, allowing the usertospecifyparticularpartsoftheevolvingdesignswhichshouldbe regarded asfixed,andusingsensitivityanalysistoperformthenecessary“backwardmap- ping”frompartsofthephenotypetothegenotype.Itisaveryinterestingmethod whichmightbeofuseinmanyotherinteractiveevolutionaryartanddesignsys- tems. Machadoet al.proposedanew systemallowingusersto interactivelyspecify their goals (fitness function components) for a non-interactive generative art system, along the way learning about what types of goals are usable to artists. This excellent work was the eventual Best Paper Award winner. VI Preface A complex and interesting genotype-phenotype mapping, employed in an interactive museum exhibit, was used as the jumping-off point by McCormack for a discussion of search space desiderata, including both variety and utility. The search space and the genotype-phenotype mapping were also the focus of Nicolau and Costelloe (poster presentation), who showed that a genome of 64 bits, with a carefully-designed mapping, could provide a very rich and varied space of images to explore. As in recent years the evoMUSART community has made real progress by focusing on computational aesthetics. Carballal et al. and Bishop et al. each produced new sets of image features which perform well in classificationexperi- ments and may prove useful in future non-interactive evolutionary art systems, and similar scenarios. Meanwhile Castro et al. presented a system for auto- matedauthoridentificationinimages.Theyusedexperimentswithhumanusers togroundtheirfindingsinhumanperception,anexperimentalregimewhichcan be difficult but is scientifically rewarding. Greenfield(poster presentation)alsoapproachedthe automatedevolutionof images but with a novel angle, rewarding individuals whose potential offspring exhibit high diversity. Theworldofsoundandmusicwasrepresentedthisyearbytwopapers.John- son et al. presented interactive, gesture-controlled harmonization based on the corpusofJ.S.Bachchorales.Stoll(posterpresentation)alsodescribedacorpus- based system, in which a corpus of sampled sounds are processed by creative soundtreatments, representedin the SuperCollider language,andevolvedusing a genetic algorithm. Finally,Byrneetal.demonstratedanewsystemforoptimizing3Ddesignsfor aircraft, showing the power of evolutionary design to work with existing tools, suchas the pre-existingfluid dynamics systemused here to providemeasures of fitness. We thank all authors for submitting their work, including those whose work was not accepted for presentation. As always, the standard of submissions was high, and good papers had to be rejected. Theworkofreviewingisdonevoluntarilyandgenerallywithoutofficialrecog- nition from the institutions where reviewers are employed. Nevertheless, good reviewing is essential to a healthy conference. Therefore we particularly thank themembersoftheProgramCommitteefortheirhardworkandprofessionalism in providing constructive and fair reviews. EvoMUSART 2014 was part of the evo* 2014 event, which included 4 addi- tional conferences: euroGP 2014, evoCOP 2014, evoBIO 2014, and evoApplica- tions 2014.
