Genetic Programming 1996 Conference (GP-96)

July 28 - 31 (Sunday - Wednesday), 1996

Fairchild Auditorium and other campus locations
Stanford  University
Stanford, California

Proceedings will be published by The MIT Press

In cooperation with 
-the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 
- SIGART
- IEEE Neural Network Council,
- American Association for Artificial Intelligence.

Genetic programming is an automatic programming 
technique for evolving computer programs that solve (or 
approximately solve) problems.  Starting with a 
primordial ooze of thousands of randomly created 
computer programs composed of programmatic ingredients 
appropriate to the problem, a population of computers 
programs is progressively evolved over many generations 
using the Darwinian principle of survival of the 
fittest, a sexual recombination operation, and 
occasional mutation.  Since 1992, over 500 technical 
papers have been published in this rapidly growing 
field.  

This first genetic programming conference will feature 
75 papers and 27 poster papers, 12 tutorials, 2 invited 
speakers, a session featuring late-breaking papers, and 
informal birds-of-a-feather meetings.  

Topics include, but are not limited to, applications of 
genetic programming, theoretical foundations of genetic 
programming, implementation issues and technique 
extensions, use of memory and state, cellular encoding 
(developmental genetic programming), evolvable hardware, 
evolvable machine language programs, automated evolution 
of program architecture, evolution and use of mental 
models, automatic programming of multi-agent strategies, 
distributed artificial intelligence, automated circuit 
synthesis, automatic programming of cellular automata, 
induction, system identification, control, automated 
design, compression, image analysis, pattern 
recognition, molecular biology applications, grammar 
induction, and parallelization.
