In conjunction with the:

2nd Cybernetics Summer School (CSS 2013), Ostrava, Czech Republic, August 19 -
August 21, 2013

4th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and
Applications (IBICA 2013) Ostrava, Czech Republic, August 22 - August 24, 2013



ICGEC 2013 is the 7th International Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary
Computing. The conference this year is technically co-sponsored by IEEE, The
Waseda University in Japan, Kaohsiung University of Applied Science in Taiwan,
and VSB-Technical University of Ostrava. ICGEC 2013 will be held in Prague,
Czech Republic. Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world whose
magical atmosphere has been shaped over ten centuries. Places of the greatest
tourist interest are on the Royal Route running from the Powder Tower through
Celetna Street to Old Town Square, then across Charles Bridge through the Lesser
Town up to the Hradcany Castle. One should not miss the Jewish Town, and the
National Gallery with its fine collection of Czech Gothic art, collection of old
European art, and a beautiful collection of French art.

The conference is intended as an international forum for the researchers and
professionals in all areas of genetic and evolutionary computing. Proceedings of
ICGEC 2013 will be published in Springer series Advances in Intelligent and Soft
Computing. It is indexed by to IET INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISTP, DBLP.
Furthermore, extended versions of selected papers will be published in several
journals. We invite submissions of papers presenting a high-quality original
research and development for the conference tracks: (1) Genetic Computing, (2)
Evolutionary Computing, (3) Intelligent Computing, and (4) Grid Computing.
