Tel: +86-21-56334945 | Objectives The 2009 World Summit on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (2009 GEC Summit) will be held June 12-14, 2009, in Shanghai, China. It is sponsored and organized by ACM/SIGEVO, the Special Interest Group for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, sponsor of the annual GECCO conferences, and will feature the latest research and demonstrated successes in this dynamic area, including new approaches and breakthrough applications to problems in biology, medicine, engineering design, agriculture, logistics, traffic, security, sche****ng, military affairs, and other fields. Topics (including, but not limited to):
Submission of Papers: Authors are invited to submit a paper by December 6, 2008. Papers must not exceed 8 pages, must be formatted using the ACM template, and must meet all ACM formatting requirements. All paper submission will be in electronic form only. The template and detailed directions for paper formatting and submission will be found at the conference web site, www.sigevo.org/gec-summit-2009 Review Process There is a “blind” review process for all submitted papers, with reviews conducted by the Program Committee and other qualified reviewers under their supervision. Acceptance is based on content, presentation and suitability for the conference. Depending on submission volume, some papers may be accepted as poster papers, rather than scheduled for individual presentation times. In that case, the full paper will still appear in the conference proceedings CD, but the author will prepare a poster and present in a special poster session. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference no later than March 23, 2009, or the paper will be withdrawn from the proceedings. Publication All accepted papers will be published on CD and in the ACM Digital Library, which is indexed by SCI and EI. Some selected papers will be recommended for publication in expanded versions in such journals as Evolutionary Computation or Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, indexed by SCI. All registered participants will receive a CD containing the proceedings. Presentation of Papers All accepted papers will be appeared in the proceedings CD and be presented at the conference. Papers accepted for oral presentation will be given 25-minutes to present. LCD projectors will be provided, but each presenter must bring/arrange for a laptop computer to display the presentation (i.e., PowerPoint). Easels will be provided for each accepted poster. Tutorials: All FREE to Registered Participants Registered participants may attend any of the 90-minute tutorials, presented by some of the world’s leading experts in evolutionary computation. Tutorials will be distributed throughout the three days of the conference, allowing each participant to decide, at most time slots, to attend either a tutorial or one of 5-6 sessions in which accepted papers are presented. Tutorials are grouped into introductory level, advanced, and specialized tutorials. In general, introductory tutorials in a given area will be scheduled ahead of the advanced tutorials, allowing the interested participant to attend them both in order. Important Dates Deadline for Paper Submission: December 6, 2008 Acceptance Notification: January 30, 2009 Camera-ready Paper Submission: March 1, 2009 Author Registration Deadline: March 23, 2009 Conference Dates: June 12-14, 2009 Planned FREE Tutorials: Introductory Introduction to Genetic Algorithms Erik Goodman Genetic Algorithm Theory and Practice Darrell Whitley Evolution Strategies Thomas Baeck Gene Expression Programming Lishan Kang Grammatical Evolution Conor Ryan Advanced Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization: Current and Future Kalyanmoy Deb Adaptive Tuning of Parameters for Evolutionary Computation Marc Schoenauer Fast, Effective GA’s for Large, Hard Problems David Goldberg Constraint-Handling Techniques for Evolutionary Algorithms Carlos Coello Genetic Programming Theory Riccardo Poli Representations in Evolutionary Computation Franz Rothlauf A Unified Framework for Evolutionary Computation Ken De Jong Specialized Linear Genetic Programming Wolfgang Banzhaf Evolutionary Robotics Una-May O’Reilly Quantum Computing and EC Lee Spector Genetic Programming for Game Playing Moshe Sipper
