2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
EvoEnvironment
First European Workshop on
Nature Inspired Methods for Environmental Issues
The workshop EvoEnvironment is devoted to the use of nature inspired methods
for environmental issues. The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers
from a variety of different areas, computer scientists, engineers,
biologists, chemists - all in concern about the environment - together for
an exchange of ideas. We invite submissions on many diverse topics such as
waste management, sewage treatment, control of greenhouse gas emissions,
biodegradation of materials, efficient energy use or use of renewable
energies to name but a few.
Nature inspired methods include all aspects of evolutionary computation such
as genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, genetic programming, ant
algorithms, or particle swarm systems. Researchers working with bio-inspired
systems or bionic systems, i.e. systems developed by looking at how nature
has solved a problem are also encouraged to submit their work.
Accepted papers will be published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes
in Computer Science together with papers from other workshops of the EvoStar
conference.
The EvoStar conference is always a very enjoyable event offering good
opportunities for networking, informal contact, exchange of ideas and
discussions with fellow researchers in a friendly and relaxed setting.

High quality papers are sought on topics related to environmental issues
using nature inspired methods, ranging from theoretical work to innovative
applications in the context of
* Waste management
* Sewage treatment
* Control of greenhouse gas emissions
* Reduction of energy usage
* Pollution prevention
* Biodegradation of materials
* Use of renewable energy technologies such as solar power,
wind power, biomass, biofuels, geothermal energy
* Soft energy technology
* Efficient energy use
* Low energy housing, zero energy buildings
* Empirical studies comparing different methods
* Species extinction
* Intensive Farming
Important dates:
- Submission deadline: 5 November 2008
- Notification of acceptance: 15 December 2008
- Camera-ready manuscript: January 2009
- EvoEnvironment: 15-17 April 2009
Submission requirements:
- Submissions (no longer than 10 pages) must be made through the
conference management software before 5 November 2008.
- Since the review process is double-blind the paper must not contain
any references that would identify the authors.
- The submitted material has to be substantially new research which
has not been published previously.
- The paper has to be formatted according to LNCS style guidelines.
(See ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip)
- By submitting a paper, the authors agree that, if their paper is
accepted, they will prepare a camera-ready version in accordance with
the changes requested by the reviewers by the deadline for camera-ready
papers. They also agree that at least one author will register for the
conference no later than the early registration deadline if their paper is
accepted and at least one author will attend the conference and present
the paper.
