We apologize if you receive this multiple times. Evolutionary Computation in Practice at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference June 25-29, 2005 (Saturday - Wednesday) Washington, D.C. USA http://isgec.org/gecco-2005/ecp.html Invitation for Abstract Submission
For the past three years, Evolutionary Computation in Industry (ECI) track at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) has invited many managers, technology scouts and practitioners to participate in presentations and discussions describing how evolution-related technologies are being used to solve real-world problems (see http://www.isgec.org/gecco-2002/eci.html, http://www.isgec.org/gecco-2003/eci.html and http://www.isgec.org/gecco-2004/eci.html). In 2005, we will continue this tradition of project presentations and panel discussions from members in industry. Additionally, we want to expand our scope to include presentations by representatives from governmental agencies, non-profit organizations and others in the public sectors. Moreover, a new topic on bridging academic training and real-world usage of evolution-related technologies is introduced. To reflect these changes, we rename the track as Evolutionary Computation in Practice (ECP), indicating that it will become a forum to discuss issues related to practical application of Evolutionary Computation. We invite you to present work that employs evolution-related technologies to solve real-world problems. We are accepting one to two page abstracts for review, with the following themes: * Real-world application success story; * Real-world application lessons learned; * Academic case study in real-world applications; * Expectations of academic training from industry; The subject domains include, but not limited to the following: * Biomedical; * Design; * Energy and Resources; * Finance; * Government and Military; * Academic training for real-world applications; The applied technology can be any evolution-related algorithms or its hybrid with other techniques. For a list of evolution-related technologies, please refer GECCO-2005 website: http://isgec.org/gecco-2005. Examples of other technologies are simulated annealing, tabu search, neural network, fuzzy logic, statistical modeling, and decision trees. Submission deadline: January 31, 2005 Electronic submission is sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organizers: * Tina Yu, ChevronTexaco Information Technology Company, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Cem Baydar, Accenture, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Advisory Committee: * David Davis, NuTech Solutions, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Mark Jakiela, Washington University in St. Louis, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Rajkumar Roy, Cranfield University, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
