CALL FOR PAPERS EVOIASP2005 Seventh European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis and Signal Processing Lausanne, Switzerland, 30 March/1 April 2005 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 has been 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 Gothenburg, Sweden (1999), Edinburgh, UK (2000), Como, Italy (2001), Kinsale, Ireland (2002), Colchester, UK (2003), and Coimbra, Portugal (2004). The workshop is part of EvoWorkshops2005, a collection of workshops on applications of Evolutionary Computation to several fields, and will be held in conjunction with EuroGP2005, the 8th European Conference on Genetic Programming, and EvoCOP2005, the 5th 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 (cagnoni@ce.unipr.it) no later than November 5, 2004. 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 10, 2004. 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 14, 2005. 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: 5 November 2004 Notification of acceptance: 10 December 2004 Camera ready papers due: 14 January 2005 Workshop: 30 March 2005 Web Addresses: http://www.evonet.info/eurogp2005/evoiasp (in preparation) http://www.evonet.info/eurogp2004 (last year's EuroGP/EvoCOP/EvoWorkshops) ORGANISING COMMITTEE Program Chair Stefano Cagnoni University of Parma, Italy Local Chair Marco Tomassini University of Lausanne, Switzerland EvoWorkshops2005 Chair Franz Rothlauf University of Mannheim, Germany
