PHOTOS OF THE CONFERENCE

EA'99 is the fourth conference on Evolutionary Computation organized in France. Following EA'94 in Toulouse, EA'95 in Brest, and EA'97 in Nîmes, the Conference will be held in Dunkerque.

Authors are invited to present original work in some topic relevant to Evolutionary Computation, including but not limited to :

Optimization, Learning, Theory, Coevolution, Artificial life, Population dynamics, Implementations,Real-world applications

PAPERS

The papers will receive 3 independent reviews from members of the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be presented at the Conference (oral presentation of 20mn with 10mn for questions and discussion without parallel sessions, in order to favor interactions among participants), and published in the conference proceedings, available at the conference. 

If quality permits, a selection of the best papers will further be published by an international publisher, as happened for the previous issues (see EA'95 - LNCS 1063 - and EA'97 - LNCS 1363 - Springer Verlag).

Papers should not exceed 12 pages. Electronic submission of the papers is strongly encouraged. Send your proposal as a Postscript file attached to a mail, addressed to the EA99 conference. If possible, compress the file with the GZIP tool, to save our server disk space! The use of LaTeX is strongly recommended. A model style file can be obtained on the WWW-server:

It should be noted that a pre-proceedings volume, containing all papers presented, will be given to conference members. Formatting requirements are fewer for this version, so, if you are short of time, you can send your contribution using any standard A4 size format (e.g. 11pt Times Roman font, 17x25cm text), and provide a refined version later, under LNCS requirements, in case your paper is selected. 

Please indicate: the title of paper, the author name(s), author physical and email address(es), author phone number(s).

Senders will receive an "acknowledge" mail to confirm the successfull retrieval and recording of their article proposal. 

EVOLVABLE HARDWARE SPECIAL SESSION

A special session will be devoted to hardware implementations of EC, including, but not limited to, reconfigurable hardware, evolutionary robotics, and issues relevant to hardware simulation.

Demonstrations are welcomed, and interested parties are requested to contact Edmund Ronald (eronald@cmapx.polytechnique.fr).


SILIFE DEMO FORUM AND CONTESTS

All silicon-based life forms can demo at SiLife. Computer games and electronic toys are welcome, participation is free, and efforts will be made to secure press and TV exposure - at the height of the pre-Christmas season.

Commercial Product Contest

A jury composed of scientists and journalists will elect the best toy hardware, best computer game, best research and educational hardwares, best research and educational softwares. First and second nominations will be made in each category.

Freeform Demo Contest.

Substantial prizes, eg. one Khepera Robot as first prize , will be awarded to the researchers or private individuals submitting the most original and behaviorally exciting demos of silicon-based life; Both software and hardware participants are welcome. 
Please contact Edmund Ronald (eronald@cmapx.polytechnique.fr).


LANGUAGES

The official language of the Conference is French, but presentations in English are strongly encouraged - French researchers whose English is not yet fluent will find a unique friendly environment to practice their scientific English. Papers can be submitted in French or English. However, to insure a large international visibility of the presented work, the final revision of the papers accepted for publication in the published volume will have to be written in English.
