CALL FOR PAPERS: EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS @ AISB 2010

http://www.secamlocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/eckeedwe/EvoApp/

Evolutionary computing is now one of the most widely applied AI-based search and optimisation techniques having found applications in areas as diverse as engineering, bioinformatics, robotics and operations research amongst many others. In many of these areas evolutionary computing techniques are able to find near-optimal solutions to problems that could not be found by traditional methods. Research in applied evolutionary algorithms involves the creation of new algorithms, representations, operators and objective functions to find better solutions to large complex problems that provide real-world benefits to companies, the public sector and individuals.

This symposium aims to provide a forum for advances in theoretical and applied work in the field of evolutionary computation.

Call for Papers 

Submissions are invited from all areas of evolutionary computing, broadly considered, and the applications thereof and techniques are expected to include (but are not limited to):

Genetic algorithms
Genetic programming
Evolutionary strategies
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms
Simulated Annealing
Artificial Life and Cellular Automata
Genetics Based Machine Learning (GBML)
Classifier Systems
Genetic Fuzzy Systems
Submissions are particularly encouraged regarding real-world applications of evolutionary algorithms, especially those which have complex objective functions and therefore require novel methods of mitigating against that complexity.

Important Dates 

Paper Submission Deadline: Monday 11th January 2010
Notification of Acceptance: Monday 8th February 2010
