July 7 - 11, 2010 Portland, Oregon, USA

Largest Conference in the Field of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation.

A recombination of the 19th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the 15th 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.

One of at least 15 separate and independent program committees specializing in various aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation review submitted papers. These committees make their own final decisions on submitted papers for their areas, subject only to conferencewide space limitations and procedures.


Review criteria include significance of the work, technical soundness, novelty, clarity, writing quality, and sufficiency of information to permit replication, if applicable.

How to Submit a Paper

Meet the Submission Deadline: Wednesday, January 13, 2010.

Submit substantially new work. The material in a paper must represent substantially new work that has not been previously published by conferences, journals, or edited books in the genetic and evolutionary computation field.

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However, if the submitted paper is accepted by GECCO, the authors agree that substantially the same material will not be published by another conference in the evolutionary computation field.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 5, 2010
Register at least one author to attend the conference by
