CFP for Genetic Programming Workshop at ICGA95

[Peter J. Angeline]

			    Call for Participation

	      Advances in Genetic Programming Workshop at ICGA-95

				      and

		     _Advances in Genetic Programming II_
			 to be published by MIT Press


An informal workshop on Genetic Programming is planned for ICGA-95. This
workshop is intended to bring together conference attendees interested in
Genetic Programming in a more informal format to foster discussion and review
the most recent work in the field. The workshop will consist of several
presentations by researchers currently working on various advanced topics in
Genetic Programming.

As with the GP workshop at ICGA-93, an edited book of papers archiving current
state-of-the-art research in Genetic Programming is also planned. This book
will be comprised of papers chiefly from the workshop but will also include
additional original submitted work.

We are currently soliciting submissions both for presentation at the workshop
and for publication in the edited book. Appropriate topics include, but are not
restricted to, the following:

    o Theory of genetic programming
    o Extensions to Genetic Programming
    o Evolution of Modular GP structures
    o Comparisons between Genetic Programming and other techniques
    o Coevolution in GP
    o Hybrid algorithms using GP elements
    o Novel applications of Genetic Programming

Authors interested in presenting at the workshop and/or being considered for
inclusion to the book should submit an extended abstract describing their work
to one of the workshop organizers listed below no later than June 6,
1995. Abstracts describing work-in-progress will be considered but will be
given a lower priority than abstracts reporting results. Extended abstracts
should be no longer than 3 pages in 12 pt. font, including graphs and
references, when printed. Please submit postscript and/or ASCII via email if
possible, although hardcopies will also be accepted. Abstracts describing work
accepted for presentation at ICGA-95 should NOT be submitted. Please mark your
abstract with the phrase "WORKSHOP", "BOOK" or "WORKSHOP AND BOOK" to signify
your submission's status. All unmarked submissions will be considered for
inclusion to both the workshop and book.

Authors of abstracts tentatively accepted for the book must submit a full paper
describing their work to the editors on or before August 1, 1995.  Authors will
be notified of final acceptance to the edited book on August 28, 1995.
Additional information concerning preparation of the paper for the edited book
will be sent to participants after final acceptance.  Camera ready papers will
be due September 19 with publication in spring of 1996.

Abstracts for both the workshop and the edited book will be selected for their
originality, clarity and contribution to Genetic Programming.
