Call for Late-Breaking Papers, GECCO-2001
*******************************************************************************
***** ****** First Call for Late-Breaking Papers for ****** *****
*******************************************************************************
Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation Conference
2001
GECCO-2001
July 7 - 11 (Saturday - Wednesday), 2001
The Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel
San Francisco, California, USA
*** DEADLINE for Submission (in camera-ready form): Monday, May 28, 2001***
***NOTE: Some WORKSHOPS may still be accepting papers -- check the
workshops web page at www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001 for details.
Papers describing late-breaking developments in the field of genetic and
evolutionary computation are being solicited for inclusion in a special
paper-bound book to be distributed to all attendees of the Genetic and
Evolutionary Computation 2001 Conference (GECCO-2001) to be held on
July 7 - 11 (Saturday - Wednesday), 2001 at the Holiday Inn Golden
Gateway, San Francisco, California, USA. This special book is distinct from
the conference proceedings.
The purpose of late-breaking papers is to provide conference attendees with
information about research that was initiated, enhanced, improved, or
completed after the original paper submission deadline in January, 2001.
We have had an outstanding increase in regular paper submissions in 2001, so
the conference schedule will be tight, but we currently plan that late-breaking
papers will be presented in special sessions held during GECCO-2001, as
they were in 2000, so long as space and time permit (otherwise, poster
presentation will be required). The decision about mode of presentation will
be announced prior to the May 28 deadline.
Note that all papers accepted for publication in the Late Breaking Papers
book must actually be presented at GECCO-2001. At least one author of each
Late Breaking Paper must register for GECCO-2001, or the paper will not
appear in the Late Breaking Papers volume. The preferred procedure is for
one or more authors to register before submitting the Late Breaking Peper, or
to submit their registration form and payment together with the Late Breaking
Paper. If acceptance of the Late Breaking Paper is required before the author
may register, then the author will be notified of acceptance or rejection by
June 1 (within 3 days of the final submission date, May 28), and will have one
week (until June 8) to have AAAI receive the registration form and payment,
or the paper will not appear in the special volume. The conference registration
form and information will be available at the GECCO-2001 website beginning in
March, 2001 (www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001).
Late-breaking papers will be briefly examined for relevance and minimum
standards of acceptability, but will not be peer reviewed in detail. Authors
will individually retain copyright (and all other rights) to their late-
breaking papers and should feel free to submit them (either before or after
the above deadline) for publication by other conferences or journals.
Late-breaking papers must be submitted in camera-ready form in accordance
with the camera-ready GECCO-2001 format specifications that can be found
here. Late-breaking papers may not be more than EIGHT (8) pages in
length. Please send TWO camera-ready copies (printed with very high
quality by laser printer) and the SIGNED "permission to publish" form
(below) to:
