Year: 2016
Dr. Michal Bidlo (BUT FIT) got Silver Medal in 2016 Human Competitive Awards in Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (Humies) which held during Genetic and Evolutionary Computation COnference (GECCO) in Denver, Colorado, USA. GECCO represents the top world event in this area. This year 22 participants applied to the Humies competition from which 8 finalists presented their works during the conference. Dr. Bidlo obtained the award for his new method for designing complex cellular automata using evolution which has been accepted for publication in the journal IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (TEC) with impact factor 5.908. IEEE TEC currently represents the top journal in the field Computer science - Theory and methods (according to the recent evaluation performed by the Web of Science).
