GECCO 2000 Call for Papers

[darrell whitley <whitley@CS.ColoState.EDU>]

A Call for Papers for the 
GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE
is attached.   We have added  a special track on
genetic scheduling methods.   Approximately 12 
papers on the topic appeared in GECCO 1999.

seeking proposals for workshop topics. 

SUBMITTING PAPERS 

The deadline for ARRIVAL at the physical address of the AAAI of eight (8) paper
copies of each submitted paper is Wednesday, January 26, 2000.  The address 
is GECCO-2000, c/o AAAI, 445 Burgess Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. 
Phone:  650-328-3123   Submission Instructions are available from the webpage.

Papers will be published and presented as part of the main conference
proceedings only after being peer reviewed (except for up to three invited
plenary speakers). The peer review process will be conducted by specialized 
program subcommittees, each with expertise in the area of the submitted paper.
