*** Apologies for multiple postings *** Genetic Improvement Workshop (GI-2019) ************************************************************* GI-2019 will be held with the 41st International Conference on Software Engineering, ICSE 2019, on Tuesday 28 May 2019 in Montreal, Canada. Website: http://geneticimprovementofsoftware.com/ Submission deadline: Friday 1st February 2019. **************************************** Scholarships **************************************** We are able to provide financial support for up to 5 students who present their paper accepted at the workshop. **************************************** Key Dates **************************************** Paper submission deadline: 1 February 2019 Notification of accepted papers: 1 March 2019 Camera ready copies: 15 March 2019 GI workshop ICSE, Montreal 28 May 2019 **************************************** Call For Papers **************************************** We invite submissions that discuss recent developments in all areas of research on, and applications of, Genetic Improvement. GI is the premier workshop in the field and provides an opportunity for researchers interested in automated program repair and software optimisation to disseminate their work, exchange ideas and discover new research directions. Topics of interest include both the theory and practice of Genetic Improvement. Applications include, but are not limited to, using GI to: • repair bugs • improve efficiency • decrease memory consumption • decrease energy consumption • explore tradeoffs between non-functional properties • transplant new functionality • optimise software parameters • improve practice (e.g., deployments, case studies, etc.) • inform language or tool design • specialise software • translate between programming languages • generate multiple versions of software **************************************** Research & Position Papers **************************************** We invite submissions of two types of paper: Research papers: up to 8 pages long Position papers: up to 2 pages long We encourage authors to submit early and in-progress work. The workshop emphasises interaction and discussion. Papers should be in ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) format. See https://2019.icse-conferences.org/track/icse-2019-Technical-Papers#Call-for-Papers for details. Papers must be anonymised. All papers should be submitted in PDF format via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gi2019 All accepted papers will be presented at GI-2019 and will be published by the ACM. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop (authors of multiple GI-2019 papers need only register once). The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2019. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. **************************************** Workshop Chairs **************************************** Justyna Petke [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Shin Hwei Tan [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Bill Langdon [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Westley Weimer [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the META-HEURISTICS list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=META-HEURISTICS&A=1
