====================================================================== EvoIASP 2014 EvoApplications 2014 track on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis, Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition ====================================================================== incorporated into Evo* 2014 (http://www.evostar.org) Granada, Spain, 23-25 April 2014 ===================== IMPORTANT UPDATES: - Evostar will take place in Granada. - The page number limit has been extended to 12. - The submission deadline has been extended to November 11, 2013 ===================== =============== 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, held yearly since 1999, 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. Since 2009, EvoIASP has become a track of EvoApplications, the Conference on Applications of Evolutionary Computation, one of the events which take place under the common name of Evo* (Evostar). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - applications of evolutionary computation to real-life image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition problems - evolvable vision and signal processing hardware - hybrid approaches to machine vision, signal processing and pattern recognition including evolutionary components - theoretical developments - comparisons between different evolutionary techniques and between evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition applications - time series analysis by means of EC techniques. =========== Submissions (NEW! Page limit extended to 12 pages!) =========== Submit your manuscript, at most 12 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 1, 2013. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Authors will be notified on the results of the review in early January 2014. 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 within two weeks from the notification of acceptance. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of Evo*, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be available at the Conference. ================= Student Bursaries ================= We anticipate the availability of several bursaries for students and young scientists partially covering travel and lodging expenses and registration for the whole Evo* event. Priority will be given to young scientists who will present their work at the conference. ====================== Web address http://www.evostar.org ====================== IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline (EXTENDED): 11 November 2013 Notification of authors: early January 2014 Camera-ready deadline: late January 2014 Bursary application deadline: late February 2014
