SecDef 2017 Workshop Co-chairs
==========================================
The Fourth ACM Workshop on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation in Defense,
Security, and Risk Management (SecDef'2017)
In conjunction with the ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
(GECCO) in Berlin, Germany, July 15-19, 2017
https://projects.cs.dal.ca/projectx/secdef2017/index.html
(Submissions due: 29 March 2017)
==========================================
The Fourth ACM Workshop on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation in Defense,
Security, and Risk Management (SecDef'2017) will be held in conjunction
with the ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) in
Berlin, Germany, July 15-19, 2017.
With the constant appearance of new threats, research in the areas of
defense, security and risk management has acquired an increasing importance
over the past few years. These new challenges often require innovative
solutions and computational intelligence techniques can play a significant
role in finding them.
We invite both completed and work in progress, with the aim to encourage
communication between active researchers and practitioners to better
understand the current scope of efforts within this domain. The ultimate
goal is to understand, discuss, and help set future directions for
computational intelligence in security and defense problems.
