CALL FOR PAPERS EVOIASP2004 Sixth European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis and Signal Processing Coimbra, Portugal, 5 April 2004 Web Address: http://www.evonet.info/eurogp2004/evoiasp 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 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), Kinsale, Ireland (2002), and Colchester, UK (2003). 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 EvoWorkshops2004 and will be held in conjunction with EuroGP2004, the European Conference on Genetic Programming, and EvoCOP2004, the 4th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization. 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, - time series analysis by means of EC techniques. SUBMISSIONS Send your manuscript, at most 10 A4 pages long, in Springer LNCS format (instructions downloadable from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf ) to the programme chair, Stefano Cagnoni, in gzipped PostScript or pdf format by email no later than November 14, 2003. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Authors will be notified via email on the results of the review by December 19, 2003. The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers' comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts, along with text sources and pictures, by January 16, 2003. The accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be available at the workshop. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: 14 November 2003 Notification of acceptance: 19 December 2003 Camera ready papers due: 16 January 2004 Workshop: 5 April 2004
