Fellow Researchers, Your are cordially invited to contribute to the Genetic Algorithm Track at the forthcoming Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2011) to take place in Dublin, Ireland during July 12-16, 2011. Please visit http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2011/ for more details about the conference and submission process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: Genetic Algorithms Track at GECCO 2011, July 12-16, Dublin, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Visit: http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2011/organizers-tracks.html#ga for more information on about this track and GECCO 2011. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) track has always been the largest scientific track at GECCO. GEECO is the largest conference in the field of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, and the GA track has a history of publishing high-quality, ground-breaking research dating back to its origins in the ICGA conferences in the early 1980s. 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. We invite submissions to the GA track that present original work on all aspects of genetic algorithms, including, but not limited to: • Practical and 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 • Co-evolutionary algorithms Tuning and adapting parameters Other keywords: genetic algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, recombination, mutation, selection, representations, operators, parameters, adaptation, uncertainty 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.
