CEC99 Call for Tutorials

The CEC99 Program Committee invites tutorial proposals for the 1999 Congress on Evolutionary Computation. The tutorials will be given during the whole day of July 6, 1999. Each tutorial will run for 2 hours. Anyone who is interested in presenting a tutorial at CEC99 should submit a proposal to the tutorial chair at the address below.

Topics

CEC99 is interested in proposals for advanced tutorials at the leading edge of evolutionary computation. We encourage tutorials that summarize recent technical advances in core paradigms of evolutionary computation, such as evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, genetic algorithms, and genetic programming. We especially encourage tutorials that educate the EC community about advanced techniques, emerging opportunities, and applications. These topics include, but are not limited to, artificial life, co-evolutionary learning, evolutionary neural networks, classifier systems, DNA computing, evolvable hardware, evolutionary robotics, and other applications of evolutionary computation to intelligent system creation.

Submission Requirements

The proposal should provide the following information: The conference compensates tutorial speakers with a honorarium. The amounts of the honorarium will depend on the number of acceptable proposals.

Submission Deadline

Prospective tutorial speakers should send their letter of intent by November 1, 1998. Proposals must be received by November 10, 1998. Decisions about the tutorial program will be made by December 10, 1998. Speakers should be prepared to submit completed course materials by April 1, 1999.

Two hard copies of proposals should be sent to the tutorial chair at the following address. Electronic submissions will also be accepted.
