**** GECCO 2015 CALL FOR TUTORIALS PROPOSALS ****

2015 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2015)
July 11-15, 2015, Madrid, Spain
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2015/

Organized by ACM SIGEVO

The GECCO 2015 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to 
be held
in conjunction with the 2015 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
(GECCO 2015) in Madrid, Spain, July 11-15, 2015.

** Important Dates **

Deadline for Tutorials Proposals: November 5, 2014
Notification of Acceptance: November 28, 2014

** Tutorial Proposals **

Tutorials at GECCO 2015 will be presented by domain experts to cover 
current topics relevant to evolutionary computation researchers and 
practitioners.
Each tutorial will be 110 minutes long. We encourage the inclusion of 
interactive activities and demos.

Tutorials will be free to all GECCO 2015 attendees. One 
instructor/presenter of each accepted tutorial will be able to register 
for GECCO at half the regular rate (there are no multiple discounts for 
each tutorial).

It is expected that all the instructors involved in a tutorial will 
attend the conference. Accepted tutorials' slide sets will be collected 
by Sheridan/ACM Press, and published as part of a companion volume to 
the conference proceedings in the ACM Digital library.

** Submission Process **

Each tutorial proposal should include:
1. A half-page extended abstract (in plain text) that includes: the 
title of the tutorial, the name and affiliation of the instructor(s), 
and a description of the tutorial scope and content.
2. Short bio of the instructor(s) (about half page in plain text).
3. [Highly encouraged] A description of any interactive activity or demo 
planned
within the tutorial presentation.

** Reviewing **

Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the GECCO 2015 organizing 
committee, based on the GECCO attendees' likely interest in them, the 
breadth and depth of the topic(s), and the expertise and credentials of 
the instructor(s).
