GECCO-2011 Conference: July 12-16, 2011

2011 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
Tuesday, Saturday July 12 –16, 2011 Dublin, Ireland

Largest Conference in the Field of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation.
A recombination of the 20th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the 16th Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP)



Review Process

Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously reviewed, in a doubleblind review process, meaning that reviewers should not be able to infer the identities of the authors of the papers under review, and, of course, that authors will not know the identities of their reviewers.

Each submitted paper will be evaluated by one of at least 15 separate and independent program committees specializing in various aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation. These committees make their own final decisions on submitted papers for their areas, subject only to conference-wide space limitations and procedures.

Review criteria include signicance of the work, technical soundnes, novelty, clarity, writing quality, and suciency of information to permit replication, if applicable.

How to Submit a Paper
Meet the submission deadline (January 26, 2011) and submit substantially new work. GECCO allows submissions of material that is substantially similar to a paper being submitted contemporaneously for review in another conference. However, if the submitted paper is accepted by GECCO, the authors agree that substantially the same material will not be published by another conference in the evolutionary computation field.

Material may be later revised and submitted to a journal, if permitted by the journal.

Accept author agreement
By submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if their paper is accepted, they will:

* Submit a final, revised, camera-ready version to the publisher by Monday, April 18, 2011
* Register at least one author to attend the conference by Monday, May 2, 2011
* Attend the conference (at least one author)
* Present the accepted paper at the conference
