20th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the
16th Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP)
One Conference - Many Mini-Conferences - 15 Program Tracks
The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2011) will
present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of
genetic
and evolutionary computation.
Topics include: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution
strategies, evolutionary programming, real-world applications,
learning
classifier systems and other genetics-based machine learning,
evolvable
hardware, artificial life, adaptive behavior, ant colony optimization,
swarm intelligence, biological applications, evolutionary robotics,
coevolution, artificial immune systems, and more.

the web page for changes that may appear as the paper submission
deadline
approaches.
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substantially the same material will not be published by another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.
REVIEW PROCESS
Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously reviewed, in a double-
blind
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. Each submitted paper will
be evaluated
by one of at least 15 separate and independent program committees
specializing
in various aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation. These
committees
make their own final decisions on submitted papers for their areas,
subject
only to conference-wide 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.
ACCEPT AUTHOR AGREEMENT
By submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if their paper is
accepted, they will:
1. Submit a final, revised, camera-ready version to the publisher by
2. Monday, April 18, 2011
3. Register at least one author to attend the conference by Monday,
May 2, 2011
4. Attend the conference (at least one author)
5. Present the accepted paper at the conference
VENUE
Dublin is the lively capital of Ireland and the perfect GECCO
destination. It
is served by several low-cost airlines, offering a wide range of
flight deals,
and provides several accommodation options. The social event will take
place
at Ireland’s No. 1 international visitor attraction, the Guinness
Storehouse.
