Includes the GECCO 2002 CD-ROM.
Current volume: GECCO 2002: Proceedings of the Genetic Evolutionary Computation Conference.
The 2000 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-00) combines the longest running conference in evolutionary computation (ICGA) and the world's two largest EC conferences (GP and ICGA) to create a unique opportunity to bring together the best in research in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC).
The GECCO conference continues the tradition of the GP and ICGA conferences of bringing together researchers from the entire spectrum of research in evolutionary computation, including genetic algorithms, classifier systems, genetic programming, evolvable hardware, DNA and molecular computing, evolutionary strategies, evolutionary programming, artificial life, adaptive behavior, agents, as well as real-world applications of all of these areas.
Each paper submitted to the GECCO conference was peer-reviewed by one of the independent program committees specializing in various aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation. Each program committee consists of a chair and members who are active researchers and authors of published books and papers in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. Each program committee will establish its own review criteria and policies and make the final decisions concerning papers submitted to it. These independent "demes" help ensure that the review process respects the diverse traditions and norms of the various facets of genetic and evolutionary computation at the same time it guarantees the acceptance of work of the highest caliber.
