Please also have a look at the workshops' own pages. The workshop program is more than papers and talks, it gives you the possibility to introduce new ideas and discuss them with others, to connect to people working on similar topics, and to develop common visions for the areas that interest you the most. Be part of it! ------------------------------------------------- 2nd Workshop on Understanding Problems http://www.kentmcclymont.tk/p/gecco-up.html Industry-oriented workshop on Symbolic Regression and Modeling http://www.symbolicregression.com/?q=srm-gecco-2013 Black Box Optimization Benchmarking 2013 http://coco.gforge.inria.fr/doku.php?id=bbob-2013 Sixteenth International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems http://homepages.ecs.vuw.ac.nz/~iqbal/iwlcs2013/index.html Evolutionary Music http://www.dei.estg.ipleiria.pt/evolutionary-music/ Evolutionary Computation Software Systems http://evosoft.heuristiclab.com Visualisation Methods in Genetic and Evolutionary Computation http://www.vizgec.ex.ac.uk Evolutionary Computation and Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation https://sites.google.com/site/ecomassworkshop/ Medical Applications of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation http://www.elec.york.ac.uk/events/MedGEC2013/ Evolutionary Computation for the Automated Design of Algorithms http://homepages.dcc.ufmg.br/~glpappa/workshop.html Green and Efficient Energy Applications of Genetic and EC http://www.cwi.nl/~bosman/greengec2013/ Bridging the Gap between Industry and Academia in Optimisation http://www.soc.napier.ac.uk/~cs378/GECCO2013Workshop/index.html Computational Synthesis of Systems from Building Blocks http://mleg.cse.sc.edu/cssb/?page_id=2 Evolulutionary Computation in Bioinformatics http://arco.unex.es/mavega/gecco-bio2013 Stack-based Genetic Programming http://www.stackgp.org/ Student Workshop (Undergraduate and Graduate) http://gecco2013studentws.tiddlyspace.com/ Late Breaking Abstracts Workshop http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2013/call-lba.html ------------------------------------------ Please note that we merge the two student workshops this year in order to improve communication and knowledge transfer.
