Organizer: Terence
Soule - 
Submissions should be made electronically to with thesubject "GECCO 2006 Graduate Student Workshop
Submission
" .
Graduate Student Workshop Deadlines:
Submission deadline: Friday, March 17, 2006
Acceptance notification: Friday, March 31, 2006
Camera ready deadline: Friday, April 14, 2006
This full day workshop will involve presentations by
approximately 12 selected students pursing research in
some aspect of evolutionary computation. Students will
make 15-20 minute presentations to an audience that will
include a 'mentor' panel of established researchers in
evolutionary computation. Presentations will be followed
by a 10 minute question and discussion period led by
the mentor panel.
The goal of this workshop is to assist
students regarding their research: research methodology,
goals, and plans.
Students will also receive feedback on their presentation
style. Other attendees will benefit by learning about
current research, engaging in technical discussions
and meeting researchers with related interests. Other
students are encouraged to attend as a means of strengthening
their own research.
The group of presenting students
will be chosen with the intent of creating a diverse
group of students
working on a broad range of topic areas. You are an
ideal candidate if your thesis topic has already been
approved by your university and you have been working
on your thesis or dissertation for between 6 and 18
months.
Submissions should follow the general format
of GECCO submission (see author guidelines on the main
GECCO
page). In addition, submissions should be accompanied
by a brief cover letter including the student's current
enrollment status (undergraduate, M.S. student, or
Ph.D. student) and information regarding the extent
of their research to date (e.g. number of months on
the project, whether they’ve completed a proposal
defense, or some similar indication of progress). Accepted
papers will be included with the other workshop papers
on the GECCO workshops CD. Awards will be presented
for best work and best presentation.
Presenters should
plan to present both their current research results
and their future research goals and
plans. Keeping in mind that the goal is to receive
advice and suggestions on both the current status of
their research and on their planed future research
directions.
