We invite submissions of extended abstracts for the eleventh
Foundations of Genetic Algorithms workshop.
FOGA is only held every two years and
focuses
on theoretical foundations of all flavors of evolutionary computation.
It will next be
held in the
Gasthof Hirschen in
Schwarzenberg in Austria
from Wednesday, January 5 to Sunday January 9, 2011.
Prof. Dr. Karl Sigmund has
agreed to deliver a keynote lecture.
Attendance is limited to people who
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
wider context of theoretical computer science, or focus
on bridging the gap between theory and practice are especially welcome.
This does not prevent the acceptance of papers that
use an experimental approach, but such work should be directed toward
validation of suitable hypotheses concerning foundational matters.
Notification will be 13 September 2010 and drafts of the full paper
will be needed by 6 December 2010. 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.
