CALL FOR PAPERS

EvoROBOT 2013, 
Vienna, Austria, 3-5 April 2013

Evolutionary Computation in Robotics

The well-known EvoStar conference (http://www.evostar.org/) has been extended to host the EvoROBOT track as part of EvoApplications, the European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation, to be held in April 2013 at the Vienna University of Technology. 
The EvoROBOT track focusses, as the name implies, on evolutionary robotics: the application of evolutionary computation techniques to automatically design the controllers and/or hardware of autonomous robots, real or simulated. This is by nature a multi-faceted field that combines approaches from other fields such as neuro-evolution, evolutionary design, artificial life, robotics, et cetera.

We seek high quality contributions dealing with state-of-the-art research in the area of evolutionary robotics. 

Topics include but are not limited to:

Evolution of (neural) robot controllers;
Evolution of modular robot morphology;
Hardware/morphology and controller co-evolution;
Open-ended evolution in robotics;
Robotic evolutionary Artificial Life;
Evolutionary self-assembly and self-replication;
Evolution, development and learning;
Evolutionary and co-evolutionary approaches.

Important Dates
----------------
Submission deadline:    	11 November 2012 (no further extensions!!)
Notification to authors:	21 December 2012
Camera-ready deadline:  	15 January 2013
EvoStar event           	3-5 April 2013  

Publication Details
-------------------
Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoStar, published as Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Submission Details
------------------
Submissions must be novel and original. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee and authors of accepted papers are required to address the reviewer's comments to produce a camera-ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and attend the conference to present their work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind and any information that may identify the authors should be removed from the initial submission. Please submit your contribution to EvoROBOT in Springer LNCS format at http://myreview.csregistry.org/evoapps13. The page limit is 10 pages.
