[Push] CFP: Genetic Programming, 9th European Conference

[Steven M Gustafson]

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

EuroGP2006
Ninth European Conference on Genetic Programming
Budapest, Hungary, 10-12 April 2006

The annual EuroGP series are the premier conferences in Europe devoted
entirely to genetic programming. The standard is high with about 45%
of submissions accepted for oral presentation with double blind
reviewing. The conference has both oral presentations and posters.
All accepted papers (both oral presentations and posters) are published
as full papers in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (oral presentations get 12 pages while posters get 10 pages).

EuroGP conferences are always enjoyable and offer good opportunities
for informal contact with fellow researchers in a friendly and relaxed
setting.  EuroGP2006 will be held in Budapest (Hungary), in conjunction
with EvoCOP2005 and EvoWorkshops2005.

High quality papers are sought on topics strongly related to genetic
programming, ranging from theoretical work to innovative applications.

----------------------------------------------

Topics include:

  * Theoretical developments
  * Empirical studies of GP performance and behaviour
  * New algorithms, representations and operators
  * Applications of GP to real-life problems
  * Hybrid architectures including GP components
  * New libraries and implementations
  * Evolution of other tree or graph structures (e.g. VRML)
  * Evolution of various classes of machine: e.g. cellular
    automata, finite state machines, pushdown automata, turing
    machines


Submission procedure
--------------------

Submissions should be a maximum of twelve A4 pages in either PDF or
zipped postscript. Papers must conform to the Springer Lecture Notes
in Computer Science format:
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).

The reviewing process is double blind. Authors should therefore remove
their names from submitted papers, and should take reasonable care that
their identity is disguised. References to own work can be included in
the paper, but should be referred to in the third person.

It is very important that the email accompanying submission should
state ALL the authors, including ALL their email addresses. To avoid
problems with electronic delivery, papers should be emailed to BOTH
program chairs. A notification of receipt will be emailed within
three working days after the deadline.
