VISUALISATION IN GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (VizGEC 2018)
to be held as part of the
2018 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2018)
July 15-19, Kyoto, Japan
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
http://gecco-2018.sigevo.org/
Submission Deadline for this workshop: March 27th, 2018
Aim and Scope
The 9th annual workshop on Visualisation in Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (VizGEC), to be held at GECCO 2018 in Kyoto, 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 sets;
* the use of genetic and evolutionary techniques for visualising data;
* novel technologies for visualisation within genetic and evolutionary computation;
* visualisation to facilitate interactive evolution;
* Visualisation in real-world applications.
We invite 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.
Important Dates
* Paper submission opens: 27th February 2018
* Paper submission deadline: 27th March 2018
* Notification of acceptance: 10th April 2018
* Final papers due: 24th April 2018
* GECCO workshops (exact VizGEC date TBC): 15th and 16th July 2018
Submission
Each accepted submission will be presented orally at the workshop and distributed in the workshop proceedings to all GECCO attendees. Authors should follow the format of the GECCO manuscript style; further details are available at http://gecco-2018.sigevo.org/index.html/Papers+Submission+Instructions. Manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages. Papers should be submitted at https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/gecco/. Acceptance to the workshop will be based on peer review of submitted papers.
