Call to Papers

The annual IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation is one of the leading events in the area of evolutionary computation.

It covers all topics in evolutionary computation, including, but not limited to:

CEC 2011 will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from around the globe. Technical exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote speeches, special sessions, tutorials and workshops, panel discussions as well as presentations and posters. Participants will be treated to a series of social functions and networking sessions, which will serve as a vital channel to establish new connections and foster lasting friendship among fellow counterparts in a very unique New Orleans style.

Program and general inquiries can be made to TheBigEC@auburn.edu.

Call for Competitions (by September 15th 2010)

CEC 2011 will host competitions to stimulate research in evolutionary computation, promote fair evaluations, and attract students. Proposals for new competitions should include descriptions of the problems addressed, motivations and expected impact on evolutionary computation, data description, evaluation procedures and established baselines, schedules, anticipated number of participants, and a biography of the main team members.

These should be submitted to the Competitions Co-Chairs Simon Lucas at sml@essex.ac.uk or Sean Luke at sean@cs.gmu.edu.

Call for Special Sessions

Special sessions aim to bring together researchers in special focused topics. Papers submitted for special sessions will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. Researchers interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit formal proposals to the Special Session Co-Chairs Julian Togelius at julian@togelius.com or Kay Wiese at wiese@sfu.ca. A special session proposal should include the session title, a brief description of the scope and motivation, and the names, contact information and brief CV of the organizers.

Call for Tutorials and Workshops

CEC 2011 will feature tutorials and workshops, covering fundamental and advanced evolutionary computation topics. A tutorial or workshop proposal should include title, outline, expected enrolment, and presenter/organizer biography. Researchers interested in organizing tutorials are invited to submit proposals to the Tutorial Co-Chairs Dan Ashlock at dashlock@uoguelph.ca or Jennie Si at si@asu.edu.

Those interested in organizing workshops are invited to submit formal proposals to the Workshop Co-Chairs Fahmida Chowdhury at fchowdhu@nsf.gov or Clare Bates Congdon at congdon@usm.maine.edu.
