INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The application of Evolutionary Computation (EC) techniques for the
development of creative

systems is a new, exciting and significant area of research. There is a
growing interest in the

application of these techniques in fields such as: art and music
generation, analysis and

interpretation; architecture; and design.

EvoMUSART 2005 is the third workshop of the EvoNet working group on
Evolutionary Music and Art.

Following the success of previous events, the main goal of EvoMUSART 2005
is to bring together

researchers who are using Evolutionary Computation in this context,
providing the opportunity to

promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area.

The event includes a Exhibition and Demonstration Session, giving an
opportunity for the

presentation of evolutionary art and music in an informal environment. The
submission of works

for the demonstration session is independent from the submission of
papers.

The workshop will be held from 30 March to 1 April 2005 in Lausanne,
Switzerland, as part of the

EuroGP&EvoCOP2005 event.

Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and included in
the EuroGP2005

conference proceedings, published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science

series.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The papers should include original and unpublished contributions related
to the use of EC in the

scope of the analysis, generation and interpretation of art and music.
Topics of interest

include, but are not limited to:
- Generation
	o Evolutionary Art . Systems that create drawings, images,
animations, sculptures,

poetry, text, etc.;
	o Evolutionary Music . Systems that create musical pieces, sounds,
instruments, voices,

etc.;
	o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music;
- Analysis and Interpretation
	o Systems that resort to EC to perform the analysis of image,
music, sound sculpture, or

some other types of artistic object;
	o Systems in which the analysis of artworks is used in conjunction
with EC techniques to

produce novel objects;
- Computer Aided Creativity
	o Systems in which EC is used to promote the creativity of a human
user;
	o New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;
	o Collaborative distributed environments;
- Theory
	o Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area;
identification of weaknesses and

strengths; comparative analysis and classification;
	o Validation methodologies;
	o New models designed to promote the creative potential of EC;
	o Aesthetics, emotional response;
	o Studies on the applicability of these techniques to other
creativity-related areas;

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions should be a maximum of ten A4 pages and they should be sent in
postscript or PDF

format. It is advisable that the papers conform to the Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science

format.
The reviewing process is double blind. Authors should 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 e-mail accompanying submission should state all the authors, including
all their e-mail

addresses. To avoid problems with electronic delivery, papers should be
e-mailed to both of the

program chairs. A notification of receipt will be e-mailed a few days
after the deadline.
