http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org/
Important Dates:
Tutorials, Workshops and Competitions Proposals: November 7, 2016
Conference [tentative]: 15-19 July, 2017
*** Call for Tutorials ***
Tutorials at GECCO 2017 will be presented by domain experts to cover
current topics relevant to evolutionary computation researchers and
practitioners. Each tutorial will be 110 minutes long. We encourage the
inclusion of interactive activities and demos.
Tutorials will be free to all GECCO 2017 attendees. One
instructor/presenter of each accepted tutorial will be able to register
for GECCO at half the regular rate (there are no multiple discounts for
each tutorial).
It is expected that all the instructors involved in a tutorial will
attend the conference. Accepted tutorials' slide sets will be collected
by Sheridan/ACM Press, and published as part of a companion volume to
the conference proceedings in the ACM Digital library.
* Submission Process *
Each tutorial proposal should include:
1. A half-page extended abstract (in plain text) that includes: the
title of the tutorial, the name and affiliation of the instructor(s),
and a description of the tutorial scope and content.
2. Short bio of the instructor(s) (about half page in plain text).
3. [Highly encouraged] A description of any interactive activity or demo
planned within the tutorial presentation.
* Reviewing *
Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the GECCO 2017 organising
committee, based on the GECCO attendees' likely interest in them, the
breadth and depth of the topic(s), and the expertise and credentials of
the instructor(s).

*** Call for Workshops ***
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 organisers 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 organisers may provide additional support to the workshop
organisers, such as publicity. Note that organisers, 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 needs to include:
1. A half-page extended abstract (in plain text) that includes: the
workshop title, the name and affiliation of the organiser(s), and a
description of scope and content. Please refrain from using special
characters in the title.
2. Short bio of the organiser(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.
5. If this workshop (or a similar event coordinated by the same
organisers or a subset of them) has taken place in previous years,
either at GECCO or at other events, then include URLs to the event
pages.
* Reviewing of Proposals *
Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the GECCO 2017 organising
committee, based on GECCO attendees' likely interest, the breadth and
the depth of the topic(s), and the expertise and credentials of the
organiser(s).
* Information and Proposal Submissions *

*** Call for Competitions ***
Competitions demonstrate how Evolutionary Computation and related
techniques can be utilized in challenging practical, real-world and
gaming settings. They also enable fair comparisons between algorithms
and (for recurrent competitions) provide the possibility to follow the
development of approaches over time.
* Submission process *
Each competition proposal should include:
1. A half-page abstract (plain text) that includes: competition
title, the name and affiliation of the organiser(s), a description
of the
competition, and web address of last edition if already held before.
