Lieux majeurs de toutes les accumulations matérielles, sociales et économiques, les villes sont au coeur de la question des changements climatiques. Leur avenir dépendra de notre capacité à inventer des espaces urbains habitables, justes et résilients. Les auteurs font ici le pari d'une action collective capable de transformer les menaces en force constructrice, de maîtriser la vulnérabilité des espaces urbanisés tout en renforçant leur résilience. Pour ce faire, il faut comprendre les formes et les structures de la ville contemporaine, afin d'orienter les politiques et la planification territoriale. Ce livre offre un recueil des connaissances les plus récentes sur l'adaptation des villes aux changements climatiques et rassemble les réflexions de professeurs-chercheurs et de professionnels non seulement du Québec mais aussi de France, de Suisse, des États-Unis et du Brésil. Les auteurs y analysent avec acuité certaines des controverses les plus pressantes sur le climat, sujet épineux et source de grandes préoccupations dans la population.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization, EMO 2015  held in Guimarães, Portugal in March/April 2015. The 68 revised full papers presented together with 4 plenary talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. The EMO 2015 aims to continue these type of developments, being the papers presented focused in: theoretical aspects, algorithms development, many-objectives optimization, robustness and optimization under uncertainty, performance indicators, multiple criteria decision making and real-world applications.

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are population-based global optimizers, which, due to their characteristics, have allowed us to solve, in a straightforward way, many real world optimization problems in the last three decades, particularly in engineering fields. Their main advantages are the following: they do not require any requisite to the objective/fitness evaluation function (continuity, derivability, convexity, etc.); they are not limited by the appearance of discrete and/or mixed variables or by the requirement of uncertainty quantification in the search. Moreover, they can deal with more than one objective function simultaneously through the use of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms. This set of advantages, and the continuously increased computing capability of modern computers, has enhanced their application in research and industry. From the application point of view, in this Special Issue, all engineering fields are welcomed, such as aerospace and aeronautical, biomedical, civil, chemical and materials science, electronic and telecommunications, energy and electrical, manufacturing, logistics and transportation, mechanical, naval architecture, reliability, robotics, structural, etc. Within the EA field, the integration of innovative and improvement aspects in the algorithms for solving real world engineering design problems, in the abovementioned application fields, are welcomed and encouraged, such as the following: parallel EAs, surrogate modelling, hybridization with other optimization techniques, multi-objective and many-objective optimization, etc.
