Papers describing late-breaking developments in the field
of genetic and evolutionary computation are being solicited
for presentation at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
2005 Conference (GECCO-2005) to be held on June 25-29 (Saturday-Wednesday),
2005 at the Loews L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C.
USA, and inclusion in a special CD-ROM to be distributed
to all attendees of the conference. This special CD-ROM
is distinct from the conference proceedings.
Late-breaking papers will be briefly examined for relevance
and minimum standards of acceptability, but will not be
peer reviewed in detail. Paper acceptance decisions will
be made as soon as possible after receipt of the submission,
so late-breaking papers may be submitted any time between
now and the May 6, 2005 deadline.
Note that all papers included in the Late Breaking Papers
CD-ROM must also be presented at GECCO-2005. At least one
author of each Late Breaking Paper must register for GECCO-2005,
or the paper will not appear in the Late Breaking Papers
CD-ROM.
All late-breaking papers will be presented orally in special
sessions held during GECCO-2005.
Authors will individually retain copyright (and all other
rights) to their late-breaking papers and should feel free
to submit them (either before or after the above deadline)
for publication by other conferences or journals.
