** DESCRIPTION

Two-page abstracts describing late-breaking developments in the field
of genetic and evolutionary computation are solicited for presentation
at the Late-Breaking Abstracts Workshop of the 2016 Genetic and 
Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2016), and for inclusion in 
the proceedings companion to be distributed on USB key to all attendees 
of the conference and in the ACM Digital Library.

** PRESENTATION FORMAT

Following the success of the last year poster format for Late Breaking 
Abstracts, authors of the accepted submissions will be asked to prepare 
a poster summarizing their contributions. The chair will introduce each 
work at the beginning of the session and attendees will have the opportunity 
to interact with authors and enjoy a dynamic forum to share and spread 
scientific ideas. The details about the poster preparation will be sent 
to the authors of accepted abstracts.

** SELECTION PROCESS

Late-breaking abstracts will be briefly examined for relevance and 
minimum standards of acceptability, but will not be peer reviewed in 
detail. Authors of accepted late-breaking abstracts will individually 
retain copyright (and all other rights) to their late-breaking abstracts. 
Accepted late breaking abstracts with no author registered by the deadline 
will not appear in the Late-Breaking Abstracts section on the USB key nor 
the ACM Digital Library.

** HOW TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
