EVO* 2009

including

EuroGP, EvoCOP, EvoBIO and EvoWorkshops

15-17 April, 2009
Eberhard Karls University
Tübingen, Germany

---------------------------------------------------------------

The EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO conferences and the workshops collectively 
entitled EvoWorkshops compose EVO*: Europe's premier co-located events 
in the field of Evolutionary Computing.
Featuring the latest in theoretical and applied research, EVO* topics 
include recent genetic programming challenges, evolutionary and other 
meta-heuristic approaches for combinatorial optimization, evolutionary 
algorithms, machine learning and data mining techniques in the 
biosciences, in numerical optimization, in music and art domains, in 
image analysis and signal processing, in hardware optimization and in a 
wide range of applications to scientific, industrial, financial and 
other real-world problems.

Important dates for all events are:

*** Submission deadline: 5 November 2008 ***
Notification to authors: 9 January 2009
Camera-ready deadline: 21 January 2009
Conference: 15-17 April 2009

If you are interested in submitting a paper please either go the 
"Submission" page in the official site http://www.evostar.org, or 
directly access the event submission pages:
http://myreview.csregistry.org/eurogp09/ for EuroGP
http://myreview.csregistry.org/evocop09/ for EvoCOP
http://myreview.csregistry.org/evobio09/ for EvoBIO
http://myreview.csregistry.org/evoworkshops09/ for the EvoWorkshops

Scope of the events:

EuroGP:
Twelfth European Conference on Genetic Programming: high quality papers 
are sought on topics strongly related to the evolution of computer 
programs, ranging from theoretical work to innovative applications.

EvoCOP:
Ninth European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial 
Optimization: practical and theoretical contributions are invited, 
related to evolutionary computation techniques and other meta-heuristics 
for solving combinatorial optimization problems.

EvoBIO:
Seventh European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine 
Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics: the emphasis is on 
evolutionary computation and other advanced techniques addressing 
important problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and 
genetics, that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on 
real-life datasets.

EvoWorkshops:
The twelve workshops which make up this event are focused on the use of 
Evolutionary Computation in different application areas:
EvoCOMNET: Telecommunication networks and other parallel and distributed 
systems
EvoENVIRONMENT: Environmental issues
EvoFIN: Finance and economics
EvoGAMES: Games
EvoHOT: Design automation
EvoIASP: Image analysis and signal processing
EvoINTERACTION: Interactive evolution and humanized computational 
intelligence
EvoMUSART: Music, sound, art and design
EvoNUM: Continuous parameter optimization
EvoPHD: Graduate student workshop on evolutionary computation
EvoSTOC: Stochastic and dynamic environments (EvoSTOC has organized the 
?yellow submarine challenge? competition for dynamic optimization, 
further information can be found in the workshop page)
EvoTRANSLOG: Transportation and logistics

In 2009, the event will take place in Tübingen, a traditional university 
town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, situated  on a ridge between the 
Neckar and Ammer rivers in the southwest of the country, about 30 kms 
southwest of Stuttgart.
EVO* 2009 will be hosted at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, 
founded in 1477 and one of the oldest universities in Germany.

Evo* 2009 proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

The website http://www.evostar.org offers information relevant to all 
events, including calls for papers, deadlines, organizing committees, 
submission requirements, local information and a thorough view on the 
previous editions.
