EVOIASP2003 

 Fifth European Workshop  on  Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis 
                        and Signal Processing 

                    Essex, United Kingdom, April 14, 2003 

 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), Como, Italy (2001), and Kinsale, Ireland 
 (2002). 

 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 EvoWorkshops2003 and will be 
 held  in  conjunction  with  EuroGP2003, 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.
