Category EUROGP 2012

Deadline: November 30, 2011 | Date: April 11, 2012-April 13, 2012

Venue/Country: Malaga, Spain

Call For Papers - CFP

A double-blind review process will be adopted. The conference will feature a mixture of oral presentations and poster sessions.

The eurogp conference is always a very enjoyable event offering excellent opportunities for networking, informal contact, exchange of ideas and discussions with fellow researchers in a friendly and relaxed setting.

High quality papers are sought on topics strongly related to the evolution of computer programs, ranging from theoretical work to innovative applications.

Areas of Interest and Contributions

Topics include but are not limited to:

Theoretical developments

Empirical studies of GP performance and behaviour

Landscape analysis of GP

Algorithms, representations and operators

Applications of GP to real-life problems

Evolutionary design

Evolutionary robotics

Tree-based GP

Linear GP

Graph-based GP

Grammar-based GP

Evolvable hardware

Self-reproducing programs

Multi-population GP

Multi-objective GP

Fast/Parallel GP (e.g., GPU implementation of GP)

Probabilistic GP (e.g., combining ideas of estimation of distribution algorithms and GP)

Evolution of various classes of automata or machine (e.g. cellular automata, finite state machines, pushdown automata, Turing machines)

Software Engineering and GP: using GP to evolve complete programs (e.g., including variables, loops, recursion) and using SE methods (e.g., software design) to improve GP

Object-oriented GP

Hybrid architectures including GP components

Unconventional evolvable computation

Publication Details

Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters at the Conference and will be printed in the proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Previous editions of eurogp were published in the Springer Verlag LNCS volumes 1598, 1802, 2038, 2278, 2610, 3003, 3447, 3905, 4445, 4971, 5481, 6021, 6621.

The papers which receive the best reviews will be nominated for the Best Paper Award.

Post-conference Journal Publication

Authors of selected papers may be invited to submit extended versions of their work to the Springer journal Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines (GPEM). Last year, four best papers were selected for a special issue of GPEM to be published in early 2012.

Special Joint Session

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of evobio, eurogp encourages submissions applying genetic programming to problems in computational biology and new biologically inspired extensions of the genetic programming framework for a special joint session of eurogp with evobio. These papers can be submitted either to eurogp or evobio, and the authors of the best ones will be invited to submit expanded presentations of their work to a special issue of the Springer journal Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines.

Submission details

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register for the conference and attend the conference and present the work. The reviewing process will be double-blind, so please omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format. Page limit: 12 pages.
