EvoPhD 2010 Fifth European Graduate Student Workshop on Evolutionary Computation
Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey 7th - 9th April 2010
This is the fifth European workshop on evolutionary computation that focuses on the work of PhD students. For the first time this year, submissions to EvoPhD are open both to students who are still working on their PhD and
to researchers who have completed their work in 2009.
Moreover, starting from this year, EvoPhD has instituted the *First European PhD award*, awarding the best PhD-summary submission with the publication on the Journal of Artificial Evolution and Application (JAEA).
The main aims of EvoPhD are (i) to give students feedback on the current state of their thesis, and (ii) to give the opportunity to newly finished researchers to present a summary of their
PhD work to an audience of internationally recognised experts in the field of Evolutionary Computation.
As usual, the workshop also provides students with contacts and professional networking opportunities, which helps them
to integrate into the community.
For students, the aim of a submission is to get feedback on the current state of their thesis. Submissions will be evaluated by members of a high-quality committee that consists of long running
members of the community with the goal to provide in-depth feedback. Students are required to submit a paper that summarizes the research performed and planned as part of their dissertation.
For new researchers, the workshop is an opportunity to give
broader visibility to their original research, both by presenting to an audience of internationally recognised EC experts, and thanks to the possibility to have their work published on an international journal of EC.
The number of participants is limited. Accepted papers will be published in a CD with ISSN 1974-4145, that will be disseminated among the participants of the event.
The workshop is part of Evo*2010, which combined form
Europe's premier co-located events in the field of evolutionary computing. The next event takes place in Istanbul, Turkey. Featuring the latest in theoretical and applied research, the topics include recent genetic
programming challenges, evolutionary and other meta-heuristic approaches for combinatorial optimization, evolutionary algorithms in the biosciences, in music and art domains, in image analysis and signal processing systems, in hardware
optimisation and as applied to a range of industrial and financial optimisation problems.
* Any topic that fits in the scope of the conferences and workshops * Bio-inspired computing, such as evolutionary computing, ant colony optimization, swarm intelligence, and neural networks * Local optimisation methods (tabu search, simulated annealing)
* All flavours of evolutionary computation (genetic programming, evolution strategies, genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms, etc.) * Combinatorial optimisation with bio-inspired computing * Application of evolutionary computation to real-life problems
* Hybrid architectures that include bio-inspired components * Theory on a relevant area of bio-inspired computing
Submission Information
The deadline for submission has been extended to the 31st January 2010.
The page limit is 14 A4 pages for students' submissions and 20 A4 pages for PhD summary submissions, both in Springer LCNS format. Submissions should be e-mailed in PDF or gzipped postscript to address@hidden
