Developed during the last years for benchmarking unconstrained blackbox anytime algorithms on problems of continuous domain, the COCO platform formed the basic platform for the NumBBO project. In the course of the project period (2012-2016/2017), we aimed at generalizing the scope of COCO towards expensive, large scale, constrained, and multiobjective problems.

During the course of the project, the following Blackbox Optimization Benchmarking (BBOB) workshops have been organized:

• BBOB-2013 at GECCO 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands with a focus on expensive optimization
• CEC-BBOB-2015 at CEC 2015 in Sendai, Japan
• BBOB-2015 at GECCO 2015 in Madrid, Spain
• BBOB-2016 at GECCO 2016 in Denver, CO, USA with a focus on multi-objective optimization
• BBOB-2017 at GECCO 2017 in Berlin, Germany
