THANK YOU ********* ********************************************************************* =============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== 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. In 2011, EvoIASP will reach its thirteenth edition, after being held in Gothenburg, Sweden (1999), Edinburgh, UK (2000), Como, Italy (2001), Kinsale, Ireland (2002), Colchester, UK (2003), Coimbra, Portugal (2004), Lausanne, Switzerland (2005), Budapest, Hungary (2006), Valencia, Spain (2007), Naples, Italy (2008), Tuebingen, Germany (2009), Istanbul, Turkey (2010). EvoIASP 2011 is part of EvoApplications 2011, the Conference on Applications of Evolutionary Computation, one of the events which will take place under the common name of Evo* 2011, which will be held in Torino, the first capital of Italy, in the year in which the 150th anniversary of the country's unification is celebrated. 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 =========== Submit your manuscript, at most 10 A4 pages long, in Springer LNCS format (instructions are downloadable from http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) using the online submission service (see http://www.evostar.org for further details) no later than November 30, 2010. 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 in early January 2011. The authors of accepted papers will be invited to improve their paper on the basis of the reviewers' comments and asked to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts, along with text sources and pictures, by mid-January 2011. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of Evo*, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be available at the Conference. =========== Web address http://www.evostar.org ===========
