CFP: 2006 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2006)CALL FOR PAPERS FOR2006 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2006) July 8-12, 2006 (Saturday-Wednesday) Seattle, Washington, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Largest Conference in the Field of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 ------------------------ Organized by ACM SIG-EVO www.sigevo.org ------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- 15th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the 11th Genetic Programming Conference (GP) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2006) will present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. Topics include: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, real-world applications, learning classifier systems and other genetics-based machine learning, evolvable hardware, artificial life, adaptive behavior, ant colony optimization, swarm intelligence, biological applications, evolutionary robotics, evolutionary combinatorial optimization, coevolution, artificial immune systems, and more. Each paper submitted to GECCO-2006 will be rigorously reviewed, in a double-blind review process, by one of the 16 separate and independent specialized program committees that make final decisions, subject only to conference-wide space limitations and procedures.
