ROPNET-2001
REPRESENTAITONS AND OPERATORS FOR
NETWORK PROBLEMS
Bird-of-a-feather Workshop
at the
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference 2001
( GECCO-2001 )
San Francisco, California, July 7 - 11, 2001 (Saturday - Wednesday)
A recombination of
the Sixth Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP-2001) and
the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA-2001)
organized by
Franz Rothlauf
to be held on Saturday, July 7, 2001
WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Finding good solutions for network design problems is important in
many fields such as telecommunications, computer, backbone access,
transportation and distribution networks. Over the last years genetic
algorithms have been applied with success to a wide variety of these
different problems. One of the major design issues is how the network
could be represented as an artificial chromosome and what kind of
operators could be defined on the chromosome.
The workshop is intended to give an overview over the existing
approaches and to discuss various representations and operators in the
context of genetic and evolutionary computation. It should compare
theoretical properties and empirical performance characteristics of
different representations and operators and try to find explanations
for performance differences of a genetic algorithm. The workshop will
be focused on representations and operators for network problems, but
it welcomes interesting contributions to encoding issues that are
meaningful for network representations.
PARTICIPATION
Presentations will be selected according to the submitted 10-page
papers which will be reviewed by at least two members of the
international program committee. Accepted papers will be available
in electronic form before the workshop. Abbreviated versions of
the papers will be later published in the workshop proceedings.
The length of each paper will be determined by the number of
accepted papers.

IMPORTANT DATES (subject to change)
Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2001
Decisions will be mailed by: April 1, 2001
Submissions of camera-ready papers: April 20, 2001

available.
We are looking forward to your participation at the first
workshop ROPNET-2001 which is a great opportunity to meet and
discuss the covered topics for researchers in this area of
research as well as the ones who would like to learn more
about representations and networks.

Second Call for Papers
LACL 2001
4th International Conference on
LOGICAL ASPECTS OF COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS
June 27 -- 29, 2001
Le Croisic, France
Submission Deadline: January 29, 2001
http://www.irisa.fr/LACL2001
*****************************************************************
- -------------------------- HISTORY ----------------------------
The LACL series of conferences aims at providing a forum for the
presentation and discussion of current research in all the formal
and logical aspects of computational linguistics. It started as a
workshop held in Nancy (France), in 1995. Due to its success, it
was turned, the next year, into a international conference.
LACL'96 and '97 have both been held in Nancy (France). LACL'98 has
been held in Grenoble (France). Selected papers from LACL'95 appear
in a special issue of Journal of Logic Language and Information,
7(4), 1998. The proceedings of LACL'96 and 97 appear as volumes
1328 and 1582 of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. The
proceedings of LACL'98 are in press with the same series.
- --------------------------- SCOPE -----------------------------
Typical topics include, but are not limited to:
Categorial grammars, Categorial type logics, Compositionality,
Discourse representation theory, Dynamics, Feature Logics,
Formal language theory, Game-theoretical semantics, Grammatical
inference, Learning theory, Linear logical frameworks, Minimalism,
Modal logics, Montague semantics, Parsing as deduction, Proof-
theoretic approaches, Situation semantics and situation theory,
Type-theoretic approaches.
- --------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------
Authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 15 standard
A4 or US quarto pages. The paper should allow the Programme
Committee to assess the merits of the work. In particular,
references and comparisons with related work should be included.
Submission of material already published or submitted to other
conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.
Electronic submission is highly recommended. A postscript version
of the paper should be sent as an e-mail to:
morrill at lsi.upc.es
to arrive by January 29, 2001.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the Springer
llncs class file <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>
In addition, a separate e-mail containing the title of the paper,
authors' names and addresses, and a short abstract in plain ASCII
format should be sent to the same e-mail address.
If electronic submission is not possible, authors may submit four
hard copies of the paper by post to the following address:
