The Genetic Algorithm (GA) track has always been the largest scientific track at GECCO.  GECCO 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 mid 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
