AIM AND SCOPE

The 4th annual workshop on Visualisation in Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation (VizGEC), to be held at GECCO 2013 in Amsterdam, is
intended to explore, evaluate and promote current visualisation
developments in the area of genetic and evolutionary computation.
Particular topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 * visualisation of the evolution of a synthetic genetic population
 * visualisation of algorithm operation
 * visualisation of problem landscapes
 * visualisation of multi-objective trade-off surfaces
 * the use of genetic and evolutionary techniques for visualising data
 * novel technologies for visualisation within genetic and evolutionary
   computation
 * facilitating human steer of algorithms
 * non-visual techniques for presenting results (e.g. audio and
   audio-visual)

We invite short papers of up to 8 pages presenting novel developments in
one or more of these areas, or other areas relevant to visualisation in an
evolutionary context. Submissions in which visualisation techniques have
been used or developed as a means to exploring a larger problem are
welcome. We also invite submissions in the area of interactive or
dynamic visualisations which might form the basis of demonstrations in the
workshop.


IMPORTANT DATES

 * Paper submission deadline: 28 March 2013
 * Notification of acceptance: 15 April 2013
 * Final papers due: 25 April 2013
 * GECCO Workshop days: 6-7 July 2013


SUBMISSION

Accepted submissions will be presented orally at the workshop
and distributed in the workshop proceedings to all GECCO attendees.
Authors should follow the format of the GECCO manuscript style; refer
