WORKSHOP ON MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
MEDGEC
to be held as part of the
2011 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2011)
July 12-16, 2011, Dublin, Ireland
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
20th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the 16th
Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP)
One Conference - Many Mini-Conferences 15 Program Tracks
PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR WORKSHOPS: April 7th, 2011
We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to MedGEC 2010 the GECCO
Workshop on Medical Applications of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation.
Full details can be found at the MedGEC Web site:
http://www.elec.york.ac.uk/events/MedGEC2011/
Subjects will include (but are not limited to) applications of GEC to:
Medical imaging
Medical signal processing
Medical text analysis
Clinical diagnosis and therapy
Data mining medical data and records
Clinical expert systems
Modelling and simulation of medical processes
Drug description analysis
Genomic-based clinical studies
Patient-centric care
A dedicated workshop at GECCO provides a much needed focus for medical
related applications of EC, not only providing a clear definition of the
state of the art, but also support to practitioners for whom GEC might not
be their main area of expertise or experience.
The Workshop has two main aims:
(i) to provide delegates with examples of the current state of the art of
applications of GEC to medicine.
(ii) to provide a forum in which researchers can discuss and exchange
ideas, support and advise each other in theory and practice.
GECCO is widely regarded to be the most authoritative conference in GEC and
as such, offers the ideal venue for this important and growing community.
Accepted Workshop papers will be published in the GECCO 2011 Companion
Material, included with the proceedings on a CD, and also in the ACM
Digital Library.
New for GECCO MedGEC 2011
A session of the workshop will be dedicated to the presentation of large
transnational projects in which GEC plays a significant role and of other
opportunities for young scientists to be involved in this field. In
particular, a short presentation of the EU-funded project MIBISOC ("Medical
Imaging using Bio-Inspired and Soft Computing", funded within the
Marie-Curie Initial Training Network Action FP7 PEOPLE-ITN-2008), which
funds 16 PhDs in laboratories form 5 European countries will be given, while
similar contributions will be solicited in the CFP.
Important dates:
Paper submission deadline: 7 April 2011
Notification of acceptance: 14 April, 2011
Camera-ready copy deadline: 26 April, 2011
Workshop: 12 or 13 July, 2011
