**************************************** Genetic Improvement Workshop (GI-2017) **************************************** Only a week to go before the submission deadline Wednesday March 29th 2017 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gi2017 for the third edition of the international Genetic Improvement Workshop. GI-2017 will take place at GECCO 2017 in Berlin, Germany. geneticimprovementofsoftware.com **************************************** Key Dates **************************************** paper submission deadline: March 29, 2017 GECCO, Berlin, Germany: July 15-19, 2017 **************************************** Call For Papers **************************************** We invite submissions that discuss recent developments in all areas of research, theory and applications of Genetic Improvement. The workshop provides an opportunity for researchers interested in GI to exchange ideas and find out about current research directions in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, using genetic improvement to automatically: - fix bugs - improve efficiency - decrease memory consumption - increasing energy efficiency - transplant new functionality - specialise software - porting, many version computing and GI techniques, new or existing: Eg loop perforation, genetic programming, search, constraint-based synthesis, search based software engineering, program analysis, testing, data mining, machine learning, information theory. **************************************** Research & Position Papers **************************************** We invite submissions of two types of paper: Research papers: up to 8 pages long Position papers: 2 pages long We encourage authors to submit early and in-progress work. The workshop emphasises interaction and discussion. All papers should be in ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) format. Please see GECCO 2017 http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org for details. Papers should not be anonymised. All papers should be submitted in PDF format via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gi2017 All accepted papers will be presented at GI-2017 and will appear in the GECCO workshop volume. **************************************** Workshop Chairs **************************************** David White [log in to unmask] Justyna Petke [log in to unmask] Bill Langdon [log in to unmask] Westley Weimer [log in to unmask] Bill Prof. W.
