Track Description:

The GECCO 2013 theory track welcomes all papers that address theoretical issues in the whole of evolutionary computation and allied sciences. So, in addition to Genetic Algorithms, Evolutionary Strategies, Genetic Programming and other traditional EC areas, we also very much welcome theory papers in
Artificial Life, Ant Colony Optimization, Swarm Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, Generative and Developmental Systems, Genetics-Based Machine Learning, Search Based Software Engineering, and more. The theory track considers submissions performing theoretical analyses or concerning theoretical aspects in the areas described above. Results can be proven with mathematical rigor or obtained via a thorough experimental investigation.


Scope:

Submission concerning bridging theory and practice are encouraged.
Topics include (but are not limited to):

* fitness landscapes and problem difficulty
* population dynamics
* runtime analysis
* self-adaptation
* single- and multi-objective problems
* statistical approaches
* stochastic and dynamic environments
* working principles of evolutionary computing techniques in general.

All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of GECCO 2013, which will be published by ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).


Important Dates:

January 23, 2013 - Paper submission deadline
April 17, 2013 - Camera-ready version of accepted articles
July 06-10, 2013 - GECCO 2013 Conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
