GECCO-2008

Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2008) is the largest conference in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. GECCO-2008 is the recombination of the 16th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the 12th Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP). GECCO-2008 is organized by the ACM Special Interest Group on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (SIGEVO) and it will take place in Atlanta, Georgia on July 12-16, 2008.

About GA track

The Genetic Algorithm (GA) track has always been the largest scientific track at GECCO. We invite submissions to the GA track that present original work on all aspects of genetic algorithms, including, but not limited to:

• Theoretical aspects of GAs
• Design of new GAs (including representation and operators)
• Improvements over existing algorithms
• Comparisons with other methods / empirical performance analysis
• Hybrid approaches
• New application areas
• Handling uncertainty (dynamic and stochastic problems, robustness)
• Metamodelling
• Interactive GAs
• Parallelization and other efficiency-enhancement techniques

As a large and diverse track, the GA track will be an excellent opportunity to present and discuss your research/application with experts and participants of GECCO.

Submitting papers

Papers for the GA track should be submitted using the standard GECCO-2008 submission system. For more information, please visit the official GECCO-2008 Paper Submission Site.
