CALL FOR PAPERS
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
GECCO-2002
**********************************************************************
A recombination of the Seventh Annual Genetic Programming
Conference (GP-2002) and the International Conference on
Genetic Algorithms (ICGA-2002)
Co-Sponsored by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence
July 9-13, 2002 (Tuesday - Saturday)
New York City, New York, USA
See the latest in YOUR favorite branch of Evolutionary Computation,
AND explore developments in other, related tracks. The Genetic and
Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2002) will continue the
tradition of presenting 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, agents, and ant colony optimization
(AAAA); optimal design of engineered structures; methodology,
pedagogy, and philosophy (MPP); genetic 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 WEDNESDAY January
23, 2002. 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 the web site
for details.
WORKSHOPS
Proposals for Birds-of-a-Feather Workshops for GECCO-2002 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-2002, on Tuesday, July 9. See the web pages
(www.isgec.org/GECCO-2002/workshops) or contact the Workshops Chair,
Alwyn Barry, alwyn.barry@uwe.ac.uk, for the latest list of topics or
for information on submitting a proposal to organize a workshop.
In addition to the regular workshops, there will be a full-day
Industrial Applications track featuring fielded applications of
genetic and evolutionary computation.
TUTORIALS
Thirty tutorials by recognized experts on diverse areas of GEC are
being planned for presentation on Wednesday, July 10, 2002 (see
listing and updates on www.isgec.org/GECCO-2002).

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 23,
2002. The address is GECCO-2002, 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-2002.
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) will be notified of acceptance or rejection on
approximately the first week of March, 2002. It is preferred (but
not required) that the format of submitted papers roughly follow the
required format for final camera-ready papers, which is posted on the
GECCO web page and is similar to that of GECCO-2001.
FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION, see the web site, www.isgec.org/GECCO-2002
MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW for an exciting meeting with the latest
high-quality results in Genetic and Evolutionary Computation. New
York, NY, July 9-13, 2002.
