We call for your participation for online discussions using the Internet.
The goal of this workshop is to give its attendees opportunities to
 exchange information and ideas on various aspects of Evolutionary
Computation and "save travel expenses" without having to visit foreign
 countries. We aim to have ample discussion time between the authors
and attendees and make them visible to everyone on the Internet.
