VISUALISATION IN GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (VizGEC 2016)
to be held as part of the
2016 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2016)
July 20-24, Denver, Colorado, USA
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
http://gecco-2016.sigevo.org/
Submission Deadline for this workshop: April 3rd, 2016
AIM AND SCOPE
The 7th annual workshop on Visualisation in Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation (VizGEC), to be held at GECCO 2016 in Denver, will explore,
evaluate and promote current visualisation developments in the area of
genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC). Visualisation is a crucial
tool in this area, providing vital insight and understanding into algorithm
operation and problem landscapes as well as enabling the use of GEC
methods on data mining tasks. 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: 3rd April 2016
* Notification of acceptance: 20th April 2016
* Final papers due: 4th May 2016
* GECCO Conference: 20-24 July 2016
