The annual IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) will be held jointly with the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) and the IEEE Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE) as part of the 2012 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI), June 10-15, 2012, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane, Australia. The paper submission deadline is December 19, 2011. Call for Contributed Papers ================ IEEE CEC 2012 will feature a world-class conference that aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote lectures, special sessions, tutorials and workshops, panel discussions as well as poster presentations. In addition, participants will be treated to a series of social functions, receptions, and networking to establish new connections and foster everlasting friendship among fellow counterparts. The annual IEEE CEC covers all topics in evolutionary computation including Ant colony optimization Molecular and quantum computing Artificial life Particle Swarm Optimization Agent-based systems Artificial immune systems Bioinformatics and bioengineering Representation and operators Coevolution and collective behaviour Industrial applications of evolutionary computation Combinatorial and numerical optimization Evolutionary game theory Constraint and uncertainty handling Cognitive systems and applications Evolutionary data mining Computational finance and economics Evolutionary learning systems Estimation of distribution algorithms Evolvable/adaptive hardware and systems Evolutionary design Evolving neural networks and fuzzy systems Evolutionary scheduling Emerging areas Paper Submission and Inquiries Prospective authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers to IEEE CEC 2012. All papers are to be submitted electronically through the IEEE WCCI 2012 website http://www.ieee-wcci2012.org/.
