Call for Papers
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2020) will
present the latest high-quality results in genetic and evolutionary
computation. Topics include genetic algorithms, genetic programming,
evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, memetic algorithms,
hyper-heuristics, real-world applications, evolutionary machine
learning, evolvable hardware, artificial life, adaptive behavior, ant
colony optimization, swarm intelligence, biological applications,
evolutionary robotics, coevolution, artificial immune systems, and more.

The full list of tracks is available at:
https://gecco-2020.sigevo.org/index.html/Program+Tracks

The GECCO 2020 Program Committee invites the submission of technical
papers describing your best work in genetic and evolutionary
computation. Full papers of at most 8 pages (excluding references)
should present original work that meets the high-quality standards of
GECCO. Accepted full papers appear in the ACM digital library as part
of the **Main Proceedings** of GECCO. For full papers, a separate
abstract needs to be submitted first by January 30, 2020. Full papers
are due by the non-extensible deadline of February 6, 2020.

Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously evaluated in a
double-blind review process. Evaluation is done on a per-track basis,
ensuring high interest and high expertise of the reviewers. Review
criteria include the significance of the work, technical soundness,
novelty, clarity, writing quality, relevance and, if applicable,
sufficiency of information to permit replication.

Besides full papers, poster-only papers of at most 2 pages may be
submitted. Poster-only papers should present original work that has
not yet reached the maturity and completeness of research results
that are published as full papers at GECCO. The review of
poster-only papers follows the same double-blind process described
above. Accepted poster-only papers will appear in the ACM digital
library as part of the **Companion Proceedings** of GECCO.
Poster-only papers are due by the non-extensible deadline of
February 6, 2020, and no abstract needs to be submitted first.

By submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if their paper is
accepted, they will:

  * Submit a final, revised, camera-ready version to the publisher on
    or before the camera-ready deadline
  * Register at least one author to attend the conference
    (by April 17, 2020)
  * Attend the conference (at least one author)
  * Present the accepted paper at the conference

Each paper accepted needs to have at least one author registered. If
an author is presenting more than one paper at the conference, she/he
does not pay any additional registration fees.
