Preface This sixth evolutionary / adaptive computing conference is sponsored in 2004 by the University of the West of England, Bristol, the UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council and the UK Network in Adaptive Computing in Design and Manufacture. The Conference again explores the utility of various adaptive search algorithms and complementary computational intelligence techniques within the engineering design and manufacturing domains. Industrial interest in the integration of evolutionary computing (EC) with engineering design continues to increase as successful applications become more commonplace. Changes in design practice have also greatly facilitated the successful integration of EC with day-to-day activities. For example, powerful inexpensive desktop computing capability is increasingly available and more useable and accessible modelling and analysis tools within grid-based engineering problem solving environments increasingly support the designer in the coupling of techniques and solvers. Evolutionary algorithms now pla
