About this resource.
CEC2004.org has been restored as an independent historical and educational resource about evolutionary computation and its relationship to artificial intelligence.
What this site is
This is a compact reconstruction of the identity and subject matter of the original conference website. It uses preserved pages and institutional sources to explain the 2004 event and provide accessible context for its scientific themes.
What this site is not
This is not the active conference website, a registration service or an official publication platform. It is not affiliated with IEEE, the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the original organisers or the institutions named in the historical record.
Editorial principles
- Documented historical facts are linked to sources.
- Missing records are not filled with invented detail.
- Modern explanations are clearly separated from the 2004 event record.
- External papers remain with their publishers and authors.
- Commercial relationships, if ever introduced, will be clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial content.
Why restore it?
Old conference websites are fragile, but the research networks around them remain valuable. Restoring the domain to its original subject helps readers follow citations, understand the history of the field and discover how evolutionary ideas continue to influence modern AI.
