CALL FOR PAPERS
EvoIASP '99
FIRST EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
IN IMAGE ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
GOTEBORG, 28 May, 1999
Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be tools which can be used
effectively in the development of systems (software or hardware) for
image analysis and signal processing in complex domains of high
industrial and social relevance.
EvoIASP '99 will be the first European event specifically dedicated to
the applications of evolutionary computation (EC) to image analysis
and signal processing (IASP) and will give European and non-European
researchers in those fields, as well as people from industry, an
opportunity to present their latest research, discuss current
developments and applications, besides fostering closer future
interaction between members of the three scientific communities.
The event will be held at Chalmers University of Technology in
Goteborg, Sweden.
The workshop is sponsored by EvoNet, the Network of Excellence in
Evolutionary Computing, and is one of the activities of EvoIASP, the
EvoNet working group on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis and
Signal Processing. It will be held in conjunction with four other
major European events:
* EuroGP'99, the second European workshop on genetic programming,
* EvoRobot'99, the second European workshop on evolutionary robotics,
* EuroECTel'99, the first European workshop on evolutionary
telecommunications,
* EvoSCONDI'99, the first European workshop on evolutionary
computation for systems, control and drives industry,
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Applications of evolutionary computation to real-life IASP problems
- Evolvable vision and signal processing hardware
- Evolutionary pattern recognition
- Hybrid architectures for machine vision and signal processing
including evolutionary components
- Theoretical developments
- Comparisons between different evolutionary techniques and between
evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in IASP applications
- Financial time series analysis by means of EC techniques.
The workshop will consist of:
- An invited talk
- Oral and poster sessions with periods for discussion
- Software demos and industrial stands
Fees: Registration fees are still being finalised and will be
publicised shortly.
Registration to EvoIASP'99 will include free non-transferable
registration to EvoRobot'99, EuroGP'99, EuroECTel'99 and EvoSCONDI'99
(and vice versa).
A reduced registration rate will be available for students.
Submissions:
To submit, send your manuscript (max length: 10 A4 pages) to one of
the programme co-chairs in PostScript (preferably compressed and
uuencoded) BY EMAIL (see addresses below) not later than December 15,
1998. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the
programme committee, of whom at least one from the evolutionary
computation community and one from the image analysis or signal
processing community. Authors will be notified via email on the
results of the review by January 15, 1999.
The authors of accepted papers will have four weeks to improve their
paper on the basis of the reviewers' comments and will be asked to
send a camera ready version of their manuscripts by February
15th,1999. The papers accepted will appear in the workshop
proceedings which will be available at the workshop.
