EVOSTAR 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS

evostar - the main european events on evolutionary computation  
eurogp, evocop, evobio and evoapplications
27-29 april 2011 – torino, italy
http://www.evostar. org



ABOUT EVO*
The evo* event comprises the premier co-located conferences in the field of Evolutionary Computing: eurogp, evocop, evobio and evoapplications. In 2011, the evo* will take place at the Molecular Biotechnology Center, that hosts the School for the Biotechnologies of the University of Torino, Italy.

Featuring the latest in theoretical and applied research, evo* topics include recent genetic programming challenges, evolutionary and other meta-heuristic approaches for combinatorial optimization, evolutionary algorithms, machine learning and data mining techniques in the biosciences, in numerical optimization, in music and art domains, in image analysis and signal processing, in hardware optimization and in a wide range of applications to scientific, industrial, financial and other real-world problems. 

The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.



EVO* EVENTS

eurogp
14th European Conference on Genetic Programming
Papers are sought on topics strongly related to the evolution of computer programs, ranging from theoretical work to innovative applications.

evocop
11th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization
Practical and theoretical contributions are invited, related to evolutionary computation techniques and other meta-heuristics for solving combinatorial optimization problems.

evobio
9th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics
Emphasis is on evolutionary computation and other advanced techniques addressing important problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and genetics, that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real-life datasets.

EVO* SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the conference and attend the conference and present the work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format. The submission deadline is 22 november 2010. The other submission details are conference specific. Please follow the instructions and links bellow.
