ai.mit.edu>- -------------------- Call for Short Papers ------------------- 12th Canadian Conference on AI: Workshop on Evolutionary Computation A workshop on Evolutionary Computation will be held at Simon Fraser University the day preceeding AI-98, the Canadian conference on Artificial Intelligence. We solicit contributions describing current or recently completed projects related to research or application of evolutionary algorithms. Anticipated participants are graduate students, academics and professionals who will be attending AI-98, VI-98 or GI-98. Potential topics of interest related to Evolution Strategies, Evolutionary Programming, Genetic Algorithms or Genetic Programming are (but not restricted to): - genetic operator design - formal or experimental analysis - representation choices - inspiration from natural systems - comparison of algorithms - applications to real-world problems - applications to AI system sub-modules - practitioner insights - distributed or parallel implementations - hybridized optimization systems - evolving neural nets - artificial life Authors should submit short manuscripts (2-3 pages) formatted as postscript, adobe-acrobat, plain text or html. Contributions will be reviewed for quality and relevance. A short presentation (approx 15 minutes) will be expected of accepted submissions. The format of the workshop will be groups of presentations interleaved with general discussion motivated by the presentation topics. One purpose of the meeting will be to promote a network of researchers interested in E.C. Therefore, if you wish to attend the workshop yet not submit a manuscript, you may instead submit a brief email explaining your motivation to attend. If you would be interested in attending a 1-2 hour tutorial on evolutionary algorithms on the day of the workshop or during AI-98, send an email to: unamayMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
