CALL FOR PAPERS 7th International Conference on Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications – ECTA 2015 Website: http://www.ecta.ijcci.org/ November 12 – 14, 2015 Lisbon, Portugal Regular Papers Paper Submission: June 2, 2015 Authors Notification: September 1, 2015 Camera Ready and Registration: September 30, 2015 Position Papers Paper Submission: July 14, 2015 Authors Notification: September 16, 2015 Camera Ready and Registration: September 30, 2015 Sponsored by: INSTICC-Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication INSTICC is Member of: WfMC – Workflow Management Coalition OMG – Object Management Group FIPA – Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents In Cooperation with: AI*IA – Associazione Italiana per l'Intelligenza Artificiale AAAI – Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence APPIA – Associação Portuguesa Para a Inteligência Artificial Logistics Partner: SCITEVENTS – Science and Technology Events Considered a subfield of computational intelligence focused on combinatorial optimisation problems, evolutionary computation is associated with systems that use computational models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design and implementation, i.e. computational techniques which are based to some degree on the evolution of biological life in the natural world. A number of evolutionary computational models have been proposed, including evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms, the evolution strategy, evolutionary programming, swarm intelligence and artificial life. This conference intends to be a major forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners interested in the study, analysis, design, modeling and implementation of evolvable systems, both theoretically and in a broad range of application fields. ECTA welcomes both theoretical research and practical applications. The conference also aims to foster hybrid approaches within evolutionary computation and also involving fuzzy computation and neural computation.
