CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
Genetic Programming 1996 Conference (GP-96)
July 28 - 31 (Sunday - Wednesday), 1996
Fairchild Auditorium - Stanford University - Stanford,
California
Proceedings will be published by The MIT Press
In cooperation with the Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM), SIGART, the IEEE Neural Network
Council, and the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence.
Genetic programming is a domain-independent method for
evolving computer programs that solve, or approximately
solve, problems. Starting with a primordial ooze of
thousands of randomly created programs composed of
functions and terminals appropriate to a problem, a genetic
population is progressively evolved over many generations
by applying the Darwinian principle of survival of the
fittest, a sexual recombination operation, and occasional
mutation.
This first genetic programming conference will feature
contributed papers, tutorials, invited speakers, and
informal meetings. Topics include, but are not limited to,
applications of genetic programming, theoretical
foundations of genetic programming, implementation
issues, parallelization techniques, technique extensions,
implementations of memory and state, representation
issues, new operators, architectural evolution, evolution of
mental models, cellular encoding, evolution of machine
language programs, evolvable hardware, combinations with
other machine learning techniques, and relations to biology
and cognitive systems.

SPECIAL PROGRAM CHAIRS:
The main focus of the conference (and about two-thirds of
the papers) will be on genetic programming. In addition,
papers describing recent developments in the following
closely related areas of evolutionary computation
(particularly those addressing issues common to various
areas of evolutionary computation) will be reviewed by
special program committees appointed and supervised by
the following special program chairs.

INFORMATION FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS
The deadline for receipt at the physical mail address below
of seven (7) copies of each submitted paper is Wednesday,
January 10, 1996. Papers are to be in single-spaced, 12-
point type on 8 1/2" x 11" or A4 paper (no e-mail or fax)
with full 1" margins at top, bottom, left, and right. Papers
are to contain ALL of the following 9 items, within a
maximum of 10 pages, IN THIS ORDER: (1) title of paper,
(2) author name(s), (3) author physical address(es), (4)
author e-mail address(es), (5) author phone number(s), (6) a
100-200 word abstract of the paper, (7) the paper's category
(chosen from one of the following five alternatives: genetic
programming, genetic algorithms, classifier systems,
evolutionary programming, or evolution strategies), (8) the
text of the paper (including all figures and tables), and (9)
bibliography. All other elements of the paper (e.g.,
acknowledgments, appendices, if any) must come within
the maximum of 10 pages. Review criteria will include
significance of the work, novelty, sufficiency of
information to permit replication (if applicable), clarity, and
writing quality. The first-named (or other designated)
author will be notified of acceptance or rejection by
approximately Monday February 26, 1996. The style of
the camera-ready paper will be identical to that of the 1994
Simulation of Adaptive Behavior conference published by
the MIT Press. Depending on the number, subject, and
content of the submitted papers, the program committee
may decide to allocate different number of pages to various
accepted papers. The deadline for the camera-ready,
revised version of accepted papers will be announced, but
will be approximately Wednesday March 20, 1996.
Proceedings will be published by The MIT Press and will
be available at the conference (and, if requested, by priority
mail to registered conference attendees with U.S. addresses
just prior to the conference). One author will be expected
to present each accepted paper at the conference.
