FOGA has “workshop” in its title but in its three-day duration it is similar to other conferences on [[evolutionary computation]] such as [[IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation|CEC]], [[Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference|GECCO]] and [[Parallel Problem Solving from Nature|PPSN]]. Some of these conferences allocate time to workshops, each shorter than FOGA, in addition to their main conference.

Foundations of Genetic Algorithms (FOGA) is a biennial peer-reviewed research workshop focusing on the theoretical principles underlying genetic algorithms, other evolutionary algorithms and related heuristics. It is organised by the ACM SIGEVO, the ACM special interest group on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation. Its relevance to the computer science research community has been reflected in an A-rating in the CORE computer science conference assessment system.

The Foundation of Genetic Algorithms (FOGA) workshop[1] originated in 1990 in order to create an opportunity for researchers on genetic algorithms and related areas of evolutionary computation to focus on the theoretical principles underlying their field. It has been held every two years since then with the exception of a three-year gap between 2002 and 2005.

In 1999 the International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (ISGEC)[2] was created to organize the the FOGA workshop and its parallel conference the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO). The 2000 and 2002 FOGA workshops took place under the management of the ISGEC.

In 2005 ISGEC became a special interest group of the Association of Computing Machinery, under its current acronym SIGEVO (the ACM Special Interest Group on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation).[3] Every FOGA workshop since 2005 has been organized by ACM SIGEVO.

The table below shows FOGA workshops in terms of their year, location, websites (where available) and proceedings.

FOGA is a single-track three-day workshop focusing on the theory underlying evolutionary algorithms and related heuristics. It includes plenary speakers in addition to the main programme.

FOGA has “workshop” in its title but in its three-day duration it is similar to other conferences on evolutionary computation such as CEC, GECCO and PPSN. Some of these conferences allocate time to workshops, each shorter than FOGA, in addition to their main conference. Thus it is probably reasonable to consider FOGA as a conference comparable to these other examples in the field. This was the view taken by the CORE[22] computer science conference assessment exercise,[23] where it it was given an A-ranking in the 2023 assessment.[24] GECCO[25] and PPSN[26] also obtained A-rankings, but many other conferences in the field of evolutionary computation obtained lower rankings. This suggests that FOGA workshops are both relevant in their field as well as distinctive in focusing on underlying theory.
