Submissions:
We invite submissions of extended abstracts for the tenth Foundations
of Genetic Algorithms, sponsored by ACM SIGEVO. FOGA focuses
on theoretical foundations of evolutionary computation. It will be
held from Friday, January 9 until Sunday January 11, 2009 in Orlando,
Florida in the USA. Attendance will be limited to individuals who have
submitted papers, or those requesting attendance in advance. Students
are particularly encouraged to participate.
Submissions should address theoretical issues in evolutionary computation. Papers
that consider foundational issues, place analysis in the context of the wider
community of theoretical computer science, or focus on bridging the gap between
theory and practice are particularly encouraged. These topics do not preclude
the acceptance of papers that use an experimental approach, but such work should
be directed toward validation of suitable hypotheses concerning foundational
matters.
Extended abstracts should be between 10-12 pages long. To submit, please email
a compressed postscript or a PDF file to  no
later than Monday, August 18, 2008. In their submission message, authors should
provide the title
of the paper, as well as the name, address and affiliation of the author(s).
Submitted papers should use standard spacing and margins, with 11pt or 12pt font
for the main text. Authors using LATEX should either use the standard article
style file or the FOGA style file which can be found below.
A double-blind reviewing process will be employed, so authors are asked to remove
references to themselves from their paper.
Notification will be in early November, and drafts of the full paper will be
due one month after notification. These drafts will be distributed as part of
a preprint to participants at FOGA. Authors of papers presented at the FOGA workshop
will be asked to contribute final versions of their papers (based on discussion/feedback
at the meeting) as part of
the final volume.
