<br>
<br>
The <b>GECCO 2015 theory track</b> welcomes all papers that
address theoretical issues in the whole of evolutionary
computation and allied sciences. <br>
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, Evolutionary
Machine Learning, Search Based Software Engineering, and more. <br>
The theory track considers submissions performing theoretical
analyses or concerning theoretical aspects in the areas described
above. <br>
Results can be proven with mathematical rigor or obtained via a
thorough experimental investigation. <br>
<br>
Topics include (but are not limited to):<br>
- analysis methods like drift analysis, fitness levels, Markov
chains, ...<br>
- fitness landscapes and problem difficulty<br>
- population dynamics<br>
- representations and variation operators<br>
- runtime analysis and black-box complexity<br>
- self-adaptation<br>
- single- and multi-objective problems<br>
- statistical approaches<br>
- stochastic and dynamic environments.<br>
<br>
<b>IMPORTANT DATES</b><br>
January 21, 2015 Abstract submission<br>
February 4, 2015 Full paper submission (hard deadline)<br>
March 20, 2015 Notification of paper acceptance<br>
