EVOSTAR 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS

evostar - the main european events on evolutionary computation  
eurogp, evocop, evobio and evoapplications
27-29 april 2011 - torino, italy
http://www.evostar.org



ABOUT EVO*
The evo* event comprises the premier co-located conferences in the field of 
Evolutionary Computing: eurogp, evocop, evobio and evoapplications. In 2011, the 
evo* will take place at the Molecular Biotechnology Center, that hosts the 
School for the Biotechnologies of the University of Torino, Italy.

Featuring the latest in theoretical and applied research, evo* topics include 
recent genetic programming challenges, evolutionary and other meta-heuristic 
approaches for combinatorial optimization, evolutionary algorithms, machine 
learning and data mining techniques in the biosciences, in numerical 
optimization, in music and art domains, in image analysis and signal processing, 
in hardware optimization and in a wide range of applications to scientific, 
industrial, financial and other real-world problems. 


The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science series.



EVO* EVENTS

eurogp
14th European Conference on Genetic Programming
Papers are sought on topics strongly related to the evolution of computer 
programs, ranging from theoretical work to innovative applications.

evocop
11th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial 
Optimization
Practical and theoretical contributions are invited, related to evolutionary 
computation techniques and other meta-heuristics for solving combinatorial 
optimization problems.

evobio
9th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data 
Mining in Bioinformatics
Emphasis is on evolutionary computation and other advanced techniques addressing 
important problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and genetics, that 
have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real-life datasets.

EVO* SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will 
be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The authors 
of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the 
reviewers' comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their 
manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the 
conference and attend the conference and present the work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the 
authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format. 
The submission deadline is 22 november 2010. The other submission details are 
conference specific. Please follow the instructions and links bellow.
