                STUDENT WORKSHOP AT GECCO 2019
   	    (FOR GRADUATES AND UNDERGRADUATES)

     	  JULY 13-17, 2019, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC

**** CFP ***** CFP ***** CFP ***** CFP ***** CFP ***** CFP ***** CFP ****

The student workshop at GECCO (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Conference) 2019 aims to provide a platform for graduate and
undergraduate students to present their research on the topic at GECCO
in Prague, Czech Republic. This multi-session workshop supports students
with their scientific work and facilitates their inclusion in the
research community.

At the workshop, students receive valuable feedback on the quality of
their work and their presentation style. This is assured by constructive
discussions after each talk led by a mentor panel of established
researchers. Students are encouraged to use this opportunity for
guidance on future research directions.

In addition, we provide opportunities to:
* present the work to the whole conference audience at the poster session,
* receive a best paper award, and,
* network and discuss ideas during and after the workshop.

This call is open to all papers mainly authored by students (Bachelor,
Master or PhD) and covering topics related to genetic and evolutionary
computation, for example related to any of the GECCO 2019 tracks:

* Ant Colony Optimisation and Swarm Intelligence
* Complex Systems
* Digital Entertainment Technologies and Arts
* Evolutionary Combinatorial Optimisation and Metaheuristics
* Evolutionary Machine Learning
* Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimisation
* Evolutionary Numerical Optimisation
* Genetic Algorithms
* General Evolutionary Computation and Hybrids
* Genetic Programming
* Real World Applications
* Search-Based Software Engineering
* Theory


We hope that the variety of covered topics will catch the attention of a
wide range of GECCO attendees, who will learn about fresh research ideas
and meet young researchers with related interests. Even when not
submitting or presenting, students are encouraged to attend the workshop
to learn of and from the work of their colleagues and broaden their
(scientific) horizons.

... so, submit your work / encourage your students to do so!

IMPORTANT DATES

* Workshop submission deadline: April 3, 2019
* Decision notification: April 17, 2019
* Camera-ready submission: April 24, 2019
