CALL FOR PAPERS EVOIASP2002 Fourth European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis and Signal Processing Kinsale, Ireland, April 3, 2002 EvoIASP is the first European event specifically dedicated to the applications of evolutionary computation (EC) to image analysis and signal processing (IASP) and gives European and non-European researchers in those fields, as well as people from industry, an opportunity to present their latest research and to discuss current developments and applications, besides fostering closer future interaction between members of the three scientific communities. The previous editions of the Workshop were held in Goteborg, Sweden (1999), Edinburgh, UK (2000) and in Como, Italy (2001). 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 for Image Analysis and Signal Processing. It will be part of EvoWorkshops2002 and will be held in conjunction with EuroGP2002, the European Conference on Genetic Programming. 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 Proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series and will be available at the workshop. Authors of the best papers submitted to EvoIASP2002 will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for publication in a special issue on Evolutionary Image Analysis and Signal Processing of the "EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing" (http://asp.hindawi.com). Important Dates: Submission deadline: 4 November 2001 Notification of acceptance: 1 December 2001 Camera ready papers for workshop: 20 December 2001 Workshop: 3 April 2002 For full details about submissions and updated news about the workshop please visit the workshop web pages: http://evonet.dcs.napier.ac.uk/eurogp2002/evoiasp.html http://evonet.dcs.napier.ac.uk/eurogp2002/ For previous EvoWorkshops Proceedings: EvoWorkshops2001 http://www.springer.de/cgi-bin/search_book.pl?isbn=3-540-41920-9 EvoWorkshops2000 http://www.springer.de/cgi-bin/search_book.pl?isbn=3-540-67353-9
