VISUALISATION IN GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (VizGEC 2014)
to be held as part of the
2014 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2014)
July 12-16, Vancouver, Canada
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2014
Submission Deadline for this workshop: March 28th, 2014
AIM AND SCOPE
The 5th annual workshop on Visualisation in Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation (VizGEC), to be held at GECCO 2014 in Vancouver, 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.
