Call For Papers:
The GECCO-2008 Program Committee invites submissions
for full technical
papers for GECCO-2008, to be held in Atlanta,
Georgia, USA, July 12-16,
2008. Submissions are invited on substantial,
original, and previously
unpublished research on all aspects of genetic
and evolutionary computation.
Call For Papers: PDF file
Submission Requirements:
The
deadline for submitting papers was
Wednesday, January 30, 2008.
Meet
the Submission
Deadline: The
deadline for ARRIVAL of submissions is Wednesday, January
30, 2008.
Submit paper to
the Review System: https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/gecco. The
registered user has a login and password, and
is the contact about any paper registered
by the user. If you registered on the site
and submitted a paper to GECCO 2006 or 2007,
your account is still active. To retrieve your
password for
that account, click the "Forget password?" link,
which is to the right of the Login button.
Submit substantially new work: The material
in a paper must represent substantially new work that
has not been previously published by conferences, journals,
or edited books in the genetic and evolutionary computation
field. GECCO allows submissions of material that is substantially
similar to a paper being submitted contemporaneously
for review in another conference. However, if the submitted
paper is accepted by GECCO, the authors agree that substantially
the same material will not be published by another conference
in the evolutionary computation field. Material may be
later revised and submitted to a journal, if permitted
by the journal.
Submit an ACM-formatted
PDF of
the paper to the online Review System by the
deadline, Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Submissions
received after
the deadlines, or that do not meet the length,
ACM formatting, or
anonymous author requirements will not be accepted
for review.
If there are problems with the electronic submission,
gecco-admin will
contact the registered user by email. If a registered
user believes
there is a problem with a submission, the user
should contact the Track
Chair.
Review Process
Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously reviewed, in a double-blind
review process, meaning that reviewers should not be able to infer the identities
of the authors of the papers under review, and, of course, that authors will
not know the identities of their reviewers.
One of at least 16 separate and independent program
committees specializing in various aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation
review submitted papers.These committees make their own final decisions on submitted
papers for their areas, subject only to conference-wide space limitations and
procedures.
Review criteria includes significance of the work, novelty, clarity, writing
quality, and sufficiency of information to permit replication, if applicable.
GECCO notifies the first-named author (or other corresponding author designated
by the authors at submission) whether the submission is accepted as an 8-page
full paper, 2-page poster abstract, or not accepted by March 12, 2008.
Accept Author Agreement: 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: Wednesday,
April 16, 2008
Complete
a paid conference registration for at least
one author by Friday, April 18,
2008
Attend
the conference (at least one author).
Present
the accepted paper at the conference.
Best Paper Awards
Each track chair will nominate
the best papers from their track for " Best
Paper of GECCO Awards". GECCO attendees
will select the best papers by ballot during
the conference.

2. Be no more than 8 template pages in length,
with abstract of less
than 200 words
3. Be anonymous: do NOT include author names
and contact information in
your PDF.
In order to make double blind reviewing possible,
authors should
omit their names and affiliations from the
paper. Also, while the
references should include all published literature
relevant to the
paper, including previous works of the authors,
it should not include
unpublished works. When referring to one's
own work, use the third
person rather than the first person. For example,
say "Previously, Beyer
[7] has shown that...", rather than "In
our previous work [7] we have
shown that...." Try to avoid including
any information in the body of
the paper or references that would identify
the authors or their
institutions. Such information can be added
to the final camera-ready
version for publication.
4. Include Track Name on
first page.
Please remember to include the Track category
on your paper. The
Track can be entered either directly under the
title of your paper, or
after the abstract. Please note, even though
you are already required to
select a Track category when submitting your
paper to the review system,
you are ALSO required to enter the Track name
in your PDF file.
File Preparation Instructions
The ACM Coypright Notice must appear on
the first page of your paper, on the
bottom, left of the first page. This statement
must appear in 8 pt. Times New Roman, justified
text, with GECCO'08 in italics. The
ACM templates you use to submit your paper
for review contain a sample copyright notice..
The exact text of the copyright statement
will be provided for accepted authors after
paper acceptance decisions are made.
Links to the templates and notices, along
with instructions on how to use them, can
be found in the Templates section
of this web page.
First
Page Mandatory Sections
Your submission must include all of
these ACM first page mandatory sections:
- Title: Format the title of your
paper so that the first letter of the
main words in your title is an uppercase
letter, for example:
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation and You
- Authors: Include the following
information for each author: Name, Affiliation,
Address, Email address
NOTE: papers submitted for review must be anonymous.
Do not include author information in your submission
for review. Author information must be included in camera ready
files of papers accepted for publication.
- Categories and Subject Descriptors:
Select the category and descriptors in
the ACM Computing Classification Scheme
that best describe the content of your
paper. Include the codes and descriptive
words on the first page of your paper.
ACM Computing Classification Scheme: http://www.acm.org/class/1998/
Help on how to classify works using the ACM Computing Classification
System: http://www.acm.org/class/how_to_use.html
- General Terms: This section
is limited to the following 16 terms.
Select one of the following general terms
that best describes the content of your
submission: Algorithms, Management, Measurement,
Documentation, Performance, Design, Economics,
Reliability, Experimentation, Security,
Human Factors, Standardization, Languages,
Theory, Legal Aspects, Verification.
- Keywords: choose the terms by
which would like your to be indexed.
Include your choice of keywords that
describe the content of your submission.
Color
Images, Figures, Graphs, Tables, Charts
Your color images will appear in color
on the proceedings CD-ROM and in the ACM
Digital Library.
We recommend that:
- Images be at least 300 or 600
dpi for quality reproduction.
- Graph, table, and chart rules
are at least 0.5 pt and black.
Finer lines and point size will not
reproduce well, even if you can see
them on your laser printed hardcopy.
Keep in mind that your laser printers
have a far lower resolution that the
imagesetters that will be used to produce
the Proceedings.
- All fonts be embedded or included in
figures. If your figure uses custom,
or any non-standard font, the characters
may appear differently when printed
in the proceedings. Be sure to embed
or include fonts correctly.
- If you use images or figures assembled
from multiple images, embed the
images, and/or flatten or group layers correctly.
The images must not be lined.
Check the final layout of your paper:
- Page and Column Breaks:
check for paragraph "widows";
that is the last line of a paragraph
is at the
top of a page or column.
To correct paragraph widows,
either tighten the
previous column, or force
the next-to-the-last sentence
to the next page.
- Section and Sub-section headings should
remain with at least 2 lines of body
text when near the end of a page or
column.
