  12th Canadian Conference on AI: Workshop on Evolutionary Computation

A workshop on Evolutionary Computation will be held at Simon Fraser
University the day preceeding AI-98, the Canadian conference on
Artificial Intelligence.  We solicit contributions describing current
or recently completed projects related to research or application of
evolutionary algorithms. Anticipated participants are graduate
students, academics and professionals who will be attending AI-98,
VI-98 or GI-98.  Potential topics of interest related to Evolution
Strategies, Evolutionary Programming, Genetic Algorithms or Genetic
Programming are (but not restricted to):

	- genetic operator design
	- formal or experimental analysis
	- representation choices
	- inspiration from natural systems
	- comparison of algorithms
	- applications to real-world problems
	- applications to AI system sub-modules
	- practitioner insights
	- distributed or parallel implementations
	- hybridized optimization systems
	- evolving neural nets
	- artificial life

Authors should submit short manuscripts (2-3 pages) formatted as
postscript, adobe-acrobat, plain text or html.  Contributions will be
reviewed for quality and relevance. A short presentation (approx 15
minutes) will be expected of accepted submissions. The format of the
workshop will be groups of presentations interleaved with general
discussion motivated by the presentation topics.

One purpose of the meeting will be to promote a network of researchers
interested in E.C. Therefore, if you wish to attend the workshop yet
not submit a manuscript, you may instead submit a brief email
explaining your motivation to attend.  If you would be interested in
attending a 1-2 hour tutorial on evolutionary algorithms on the day of
the workshop or during AI-98, send an email to: unamay at ai.mit.edu.

Cost of the workshop is $30 (CDN) for non-student and 1/2 price for
students.

Please submit your paper electronically to:

	unamay at ai.mit.edu
