[DMANET] GECCO 2014: Call for Workshop Proposals

**** GECCO 2014 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ****

2014 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2014)
July 12-16, 2014, Vancouver, BC, Canada
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2014

Organized by ACM SIGEVO

The GECCO 2014 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to
be held in conjunction with the 2014 Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation Conference (GECCO 2014) in Vancouver, BC, Canada, July
12-16, 2014.

** Important Dates **

Deadline for Workshops Proposals: November 6, 2013
Notification of Acceptance: November 29, 2013

** Workshop Proposals **

GECCO workshops provide the possibility to commonly develop visions and
exchange ideas in an informal setting, especially if focused on an
emerging research field or interdisciplinary research area. In contrast
to regular sessions, workshops can (and should) host interactive
sessions (posters, discussions, demonstrations, etc.). Attendance at the
workshops will be free to all GECCO attendees.

Workshop organizers are responsible for coordination and publicity. They
collect and review papers, and provide a list of accepted papers and
their authors, if applicable. If required, the GECCO organizers may
provide additional support to the workshop organizers, such as
publicity. Note that organizers, participants and presenters must
register for the conference. Accepted workshop papers will be collected
by Sheridan/ACM Press, and published in a companion volume to the
conference proceedings.

** Submission Process **

Each workshop proposal should include:

1. A half-page extended abstract (in plain text) that includes: the
workshop title, the name and affiliation of the organizer(s), and a
description of scope and content.
2. Short bio of the organizer(s) (about half-page in plain text).
3. [Highly encouraged] A description of any interactive activity or demo
planned within the workshop.
4. A draft schedule of the workshop, including the estimated duration (1
to max 4 sessions) and type of sessions.

** Reviewing **

Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the GECCO 2014 organizing
committee, based on GECCO attendees' likely interest, the breadth and
depth of the topic(s), and the expertise and credentials of the
organizer(s).
