《IEEE進化計算匯刊》出版了進化計算和相關領域的檔案質量原著，包括自然啟發算法、基于人群的方法、選擇和變化為積分的優化以及這些范例結合的混合系統。純理論論文被認為是提供對這些計算領域的一般性見解的應用論文。

IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation publishes archival quality original papers in evolutionary computation and related areas including nature-inspired algorithms, population-based methods, and optimization where selection and variation are integral, and hybrid systems where these paradigms are combined. Purely theoretical papers are considered as are application papers that provide general insights into these areas of computation.
