Organized by ACM SIGEVO

http://www.sigevo.org/GECCO-2010

19th International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the
15th Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP)

One Conference - Many Mini-Conferences - 15 Program Tracks

Two-page abstract papers describing late-breaking developments in the 
field of genetic and
evolutionary computation are being solicited for presentation at the 
Late Breaking Abstracts
Workshop at the 2010 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference 
(GECCO-2010) to be
held 7-11 July, 2010 (Wednesday-Sunday), in Portland, Oregon, USA, and 
inclusion in a CD-ROM
to be distributed to all attendees of the conference and in the ACM 
Digital Library.

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.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES
Submissions close: Thursday, April 1, 2010
Camera Ready Files Deadline: Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Author registration Deadline: Monday, April 19, 2010

SELECTION PROCESS
Late-breaking abstract papers will be briefly examined for relevance and 
minimum standards
of acceptability, including adherence to formatting requirements and the 
two-page limit, but
will not be peer reviewed in detail.

Acceptance decisions will be made as soon as possible after receipt of 
the submission, until the
1 April 2010 deadline.
Authors of accepted late-breaking abstracts will individually retain 
copyright (and all other
rights) to their late-breaking abstracts. Accepted late breaking 
abstracts with no authors
registered by the deadline will not appear in the Late-Breaking Papers 
section in the CD-ROM
nor the ACM Digital Library.
