*******************************
SECOND, UPDATED CALL FOR PAPERS
GECCO-2001
*******************************
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
(A recombination of the Sixth Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP-2001)
-----------------------------------------------------
and the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA-2001))
----------------------------------------------------------
Co-Sponsored by AAAI (American Association for Artificial Intelligence)
July 7-11, 2001 (Saturday - Wednesday)
San Francisco, California USA
Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel
***(IN THE HEART of downtown San Francisco, a block from the cable car)***
One Conference: Many "Mini-Conferences":
GECCO = GP + GA + ES + EP + EH + ER + DNA + CS + RWA + AAA + ACO + ...
See the latest in YOUR favorite branch of Evolutionary Computation, AND explore
developments in other, related tracks. The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Conference (GECCO-2001) will present the latest high-quality results in the
growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. Topics include, but are
not limited to, genetic algorithms (GA); genetic programming (GP); evolution
strategies (ES); evolutionary programming (EP); evolvable hardware (EH);
evolutionary robotics (ER); real-world applications (RWA); classifier systems
(CS); DNA and molecular computing (DNA); artificial life, adaptive behavior
and agents (AAA); ant colony optimization (ACO); optimal design of engineered
structures; methodology, pedagogy, and philosophy (MPP); evolutionary
scheduling and routing (GS); and other areas to be announced.
Papers are now invited (see further information below), with manuscripts to be
received for review no later than January 24, 2001. Each paper submitted to
GECCO will be rigorously reviewed, in a blind review process, by one of at
least seven separate and independent program committees specializing in
various aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation. These committees
make their own final decisions on submitted papers for their areas, subject
only to conference-wide space limitations and procedures.
STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS
Travel grants to assist graduate students in meeting the expenses of attending
GECCO to present a paper will be available (see web site for details).
WORKSHOPS
Proposals for Birds-of-a-Feather Workshops for GECCO-2001 are now being
solicited. In addition to a Graduate Student Workshop, many other workshops
on a variety of EC-related topics will be held during GECCO-2001, on Saturday,
July 7. See the web pages (www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001/workshops) or contact
the Workshops Chair, Soraya Rana-Stevens, sstevens@bbn.com, for the latest
list of topics or for information on submitting a proposal to organize a
workshop. Workshops already in planning include Optimal Scheduling and
Routing, Optimal Design of Engineered Structures, and the Fourth
International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems.
TUTORIALS
Twenty-eight tutorials are being planned, for presentation on Sunday, July 8,
2001 (see the current list on www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001). Tutorials and
the tutorials notes book are free to all registered GECCO-2001 attendees.
The tutorials are grouped into four broad categories: Introductions to
Topics in Evolutionary Computation (EC), advanced topics in EC, New Directions
in EC, and Specialized Applications of EC, and will be presented by
outstanding leaders in each field.

HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER TO THE GECCO CONFERENCE
The deadline for ARRIVAL at the physical address below of the eight (8) paper
copies of each submitted paper is WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2001. The address is
GECCO-2001, c/o AAAI, 445 Burgess Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Phone
650-328-3123.
Submitted papers are to be in single-spaced, 10-point type on 8-1/2" x 11" OR
A4 paper with 1" margins at top and 3/4" margin at left, right, and bottom,
and are a maximum of eight (8) pages. Papers may not be submitted by email
or fax. Details regarding the formatting and content of the papers are
contained at the web site, www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001.
Review criteria will include significance of the work, novelty, clarity,
writing quality, and sufficiency of information to permit replication (if
applicable).
The first-named author (or other corresponding author designated by the authors
when submitting) will be notified of acceptance or rejection (on approximately
the first week of March, 2001). It is preferred (but not required) that the
format of submitted papers roughly follow the required format for final
camera-ready papers. The required style for the final camera-ready papers is
posted on the GECCO web page and is similar to that of GECCO-2000.
