CALL FOR PAPERS
We would like to invite you to attend the 2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary
Computation (CEC). Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society,
and co-sponsored by the Evolutionary Programming Society and the IET, the
CEC 2007 will be held in Singapore, September 25-28, 2007. The annual IEEE
Congress on Evolutionary Computation is one of the leading events in the
area of evolutionary computation. It covers all topics in evolutionary
computation, including, but not limited to:
* Ant colony optimization * Artificial immune systems
* Artificial life * Autonomous mental &
behavior development
* Bioinformatics & bioengineering * Coevolution & collective
behavior
* Cognitive systems & applications * Combinatorial & numerical
optimization
* Computational finance & economics * Constraint & uncertainty
handling
* Evolutionary data mining * Evolutionary design
* Evolutionary games * Evolutionary intelligent
agents
* Evolutionary learning systems * Evolutionary robotic &
control systems
* Evolvable hardware & software * Evolving neural networks &
fuzzy systems
* Memetic & hybrid algorithms * Molecular & quantum
computing
* Multiobjective optimization * Particle swarm
intelligence
* Real-world applications * Representation & operators
* Theory of evolutionary computation
CEC 2007 will feature a world-class conference that aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and
computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical exchanges
within the research community will encompass keynote speeches, special
sessions, tutorial workshops, panel discussions as well as poster
presentations. On top of this, participants will be treated to a series of
social functions, receptions and networking sessions, which will serve as a
vital channel to establish new connections and foster everlasting friendship
among fellow counterparts.
Singapore is a vibrant commercial and financial hub, which at the same time
also serves its role as a melting pot for the fusion of a diverse mix of
many different cultures. Visitors to this tropical island resort will be
treated to a great array of interesting attractions, festival celebrations
and cultural events, not forgetting the one-stop shopping and eating
experience in this entertainment paradise. The conglomeration of all the
different elements will definitely give visitors of Singapore an exciting
and unforgettable experience.

Call for Special Sessions:
Special sessions have been both a tradition and an essential aspect of CEC.
With the aim of bringing together researchers on a specific topic, such
sessions are organized by renowned experts in the field across the globe.
The IEEE CEC 2007 Program Committee solicits proposals for special sessions
that are encompassed within the technical scope of the conference.
Interested researchers are cordially invited to submit a proposal, which
should include the session title, a brief description of the scope and
motivation, names, contact information, and brief CVs of the organizers. For
enquires, please contact the Special Sessions Chair, Dr Yew Soon Ong
(asysong at ntu.edu.sg).
