SUBMITTING
PAPERS
|
Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously
reviewed, in a double blind review process,
by one of at least seven separate and
independent program committees specializing
in various aspects of genetic and evolutionary
computation. These committees make their
own final decisions on submitted papers
for their areas, subject only to conference-wide
space limitations and procedures.
TO SUBMIT A PAPER
TO THE GECCO CONFERENCE
Paper submission
deadline is January 24, 2001. See below
for details.

HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER TO THE GECCO CONFERENCE
The
deadline for ARRIVAL at the physical address below of the
eight (8) paper copies of each submitted paper is WEDNESDAY,
JANUARY 24, 2001. The address is GECCO-2001, c/o AAAI, 445
Burgess Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Phone 650-328-3123.
Submitted papers are to be in single-spaced, 10-point type
on 8 ½" x 11" OR A4 paper with 1" margins
at top and ¾"margin at left, right, and bottom.
Papers may not be submitted by e-mail or fax. Each paper MUST
include these 9 items: 1) - 6) on a single cover page NOT
sent to reviewers. Next page begins a maximum total of eight
(8) pages, containing, IN THIS ORDER: items 1) & 2) (repeated)
and enough BLANK lines left for items 3) - 6); then items
7) - 9):
 NOTE:
This year the review process is "double blind,"
meaning that
reviewers should not be able to infer the identities of the
authors of the
papers that they are reviewing (and of course that authors
will not know
the identities of their reviewers). Author names and affiliations
must not
appear on the normal "page 1" of submitted papers,
but should appear
instead on a separate first page to be removed by AAAI for
the blind review
process. Authors should also be careful to avoid identifying
information in
headers, footers, etc., and should delete their names from
citations to
papers that were obviously written by the same authors. Of
course no such
"anonymizing" process is foolproof, but authors
are encouraged to do their
best to insure the integrity of the double blind review process.
Note that
AAAI will not be able to remove names/affiliations after papers
are
submitted; this is the responsibility of the authors.

- title
of paper,
- author
name(s),
- author
physical address(es),
- author
e-mail address(es),
- author
phone number(s),
- a
50-200-word abstract of the paper (at beginning of paper),
- the
text of the paper (including all figures, tables, acknowledgments,
and appendices, if any), and
- references
(cited).
Review
criteria will include significance of the work, novelty,
clarity, writing quality, and sufficiency of information
to permit replication (if applicable). The first-named
author (or other corresponding author designated by the
authors when submitting) will be notified of acceptance
or rejection (on approximately the first week of March,
2001). It is preferred (but not required) that the format
of submitted papers roughly follow the required format
for final camera-ready papers. The required style for
the final camera-ready papers is described at:
http://hampshire.edu/lspector/GECCO2001
/format.html.
|
Different numbers of pages may be allocated to accepted
papers based on the policies of the various separate
program tracks of the conference. The deadline
for final camera-ready version of accepted papers will
be announced (and will be approximately the first week
of April, 2001). The conference proceedings will be
published in book form distributed at the conference.
By submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if
their paper is accepted,
-
they
will submit a final revised camera-ready version by
the deadline for camera-ready papers (in early April,
2001),
-
they
will register at least one author by the deadline
for camera-ready papers, and
-
at
least one author will attend and present the accepted
paper at the conference.
The
material in papers must represent substantially new work
that has not been previously published by conferences,
journals, or edited books in the evolutionary computation
field. GECCO permits a paper to be submitted that is substantially
similar to a paper being contemporaneously submitted for
review in another conference; however, if the submitted
paper is accepted by the GECCO conference, the authors
agree that substantially the same material will not be
published by an-ther conference in the evolutionary computation
field. (Material may be later revised and submitted to
a journal if permitted by the journal involved.).
