Submission Deadline: 1 November, 2017, 16 pages Springer LNCS
Authors of selected publications will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to Springer's Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines (GPEM, impact factor: 1.514, fast track review process).
EvoApplications, the European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation brings together researchers in a variety of areas of application of Evolutionary Computation and other Nature-inspired techniques.
EvoApplications' 21st edition will be held as part of the EvoStar 2018 event in Parma, Italy, 4-6 April 2018, and co-located within EvoStar with three related conferences: EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoMUSART.
*Publications*
- This year EvoApplications is accepting two kinds of submission: full papers and short papers. Full papers require novel and complete research work and have a limit of 16 pages. Short papers should present complete research or interesting preliminary results and have a limit of 8 pages. Both types of submission will undergo the same double-blind review process and all accepted papers will be included in the LNCS proceedings. Based on reviewers' assessment, accepted full papers will be presented as full-length talks, and authors of accepted short papers will present a short talk as well as present a poster. All authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to further disseminate their work in poster sessions.
- All accepted papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
- The review process is double-blind. Please ensure to anonymize your submission accordingly.
- Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines.
*The Venue*
Parma is an elegant city with the refined atmosphere of a "petite capitale". It is rich in cultural treasures and with its attractive architecture, shops and restaurants, it is very welcoming. Parma is a centre of gastronomic heritage, famous for Parma ham and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. The conference will be held at the University Campus.
*Tracks*
EvoApplications 2018 is composed of 14 tracks, each focusing on an area of application of genetic and evolutionary computation and other related Computational Intelligence fields. The following tracks will be running in 2018. Papers on applications of Evolutionary Computation and related methods to other fields are also welcome and will be presented within a "General" track.
