GECCO-2002 Call for Late-Breaking Papers



======================================================================
                    CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING PAPERS

      Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference GECCO-2002

                 July 9-13, 2002 (Tuesday - Saturday)
          The Roosevelt Hotel, New York City, New York, USA

                   http://www.isgec.org/GECCO-2002

             SUBMISSION DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY JUNE 3, 2002
======================================================================

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
GECCO-2002. This special book is distinct from the conference
proceedings published by Morgan Kaufmann.

Late-breaking papers provide conference attendees with information
about research that was initiated, enhanced, improved, or completed
after the original paper submission deadline in January, 2002.

The deadline for ARRIVAL of camera-ready papers at the AAAI offices is
Monday June 3, 2002.

We had an outstanding number of regular paper submissions, so the
conference schedule will be tight, but we currently plan that
late-breaking papers will be presented orally in special sessions held
during GECCO-2002, so long as space and time permit (otherwise, poster
presentation will be required). If you prefer to present your paper as
a poster at the lively poster session scheduled for Friday July 12,
please let us know with your submission.

Note that all papers accepted for publication in the Late Breaking
Papers book must also be presented at GECCO-2002. At least one author
of each Late Breaking Paper must register for GECCO-2002 by June 10,
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 Paper, or to submit their registration
form and payment together with the Late Breaking Paper.

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. Authors will be notified of the
acceptance or rejection decision on June 5.

Late-breaking papers should be no more than EIGHT (8) pages in length.
To submit a late-breaking paper to GECCO-2002, send

(A) TWO (2) camera-ready copies fully compliant of the GECCO format
(see www.isgec.org/GECCO-2002) and printed with very high quality by
laser printer and
(B) the SIGNED "permission to publish" form (available at the
GECCO-2002 web site)

The address for submissions is:
