[DMANET] Final CfP: Theory @ GECCO 2015 (+ Special Issue in Algorithmica)

*********************************************************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
2015 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2015)
THEORY TRACK
July 11-15, 2015, Madrid, Spain
Organized by ACM SIGEVO
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2015/organizers-tracks.html#theory2
*********************************************************************************************************


The GECCO 2015 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, 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.

Topics include (but are not limited to):
- analysis methods like drift analysis, fitness levels, Markov
chains,...
- fitness landscapes and problem difficulty
- population dynamics
- representations and variation operators
- runtime analysis and black-box complexity
- self-adaptation
- single- and multi-objective problems
- statistical approaches
- stochastic and dynamic environments.

SPECIAL ISSUE:
Selected papers of the theory track will be invited to a special issue
in Algorithmica.

IMPORTANT DATES:
January 21, 2015 Abstract submission
February 4, 2015 Full paper submission (hard)
March 20, 2015 Notification of paper acceptance
April 14, 2015 Camera ready submission
July 11-15, 2015 GECCO 2015 Conference in Madrid, Spain

TRACK CHAIRS:
Francisco Chicano, University of Malaga (Spain), chicano@lcc.uma.es
Carola Doerr, CNRS researcher at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie -
