WORKSHOP ON MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (MEDGEC) to be held as part of the 2007 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2007) 7-11 July 2007 (Saturday-Wednesday) University College London, England Organized by ACM SIG-EVO www.sigevo.org/GECCO-2007 PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR WORKSHOP: 1 March, 2007 We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to MedGEC 2007, the GECCO Workshop on Medical Applications of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation. Full details can be found at the MedGEC Web site: http://www.elec.york.ac.uk/intsys/events/MedGEC2007/home.htm Subjects will include (but are not limited to) applications of GEC to: Medical imaging Medical signal processing Clinical diagnosis and therapy Data mining medical data and records Clinical expert systems Modeling and simulation of medical processes A dedicated workshop at GECCO provides a much needed focus for medical related Applications of EC, not only providing a clear definition of the state of the art, but also support to practitioners for whom GEC might not be their main area of expertise or experience. The Workshop has two main aims: (i) to provide delegates with examples of the current state of the art of applications of GEC to medicine. (ii) to provide a forum in which researchers can discuss and exchange ideas, support and advise each other in theory and practice. GECCO is widely regarded to be the most authoritative conference in GEC and, as such, offers the ideal venue for this important and growing community. Important dates: Paper submission deadline: 1 March 2007 Notification of acceptance: 30 March, 2007 Camera-ready copy deadline: 11 April, 2007 Workshop: 7 or 8 July, 2007 (provisional date) *************************************************************************** Authors of papers accepted for the Workshop will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for consideration of inclusion in a new book on medical applications of genetic and evolutionary computation *************************************************************************** For full details, please see the Workshop home page at: http://www.elec.york.ac.uk/intsys/events/MedGEC2007/ Stephen Smith Stefano Cagnoni Workshop Organizers
