[DMANET] CFP - Algorithms MDPI - Special Issue on Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems

Call for Papers

MDPI Algorithms Journal

Special Issue on Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/parallel_algorithms)

Scope

Combinatorial optimization problems model most of the application scenarios
frequently arising in practice. Unfortunately, optimal solutions to these
problems are hard to obtain, with most of them having high computational
complexity. Even in the case of problems admitting polynomial time
solutions, e.g., the classical shortest path problem, the relevant
applications should now work on very large input instances or should cope
with a large number of concurrent users. Thus, faster solution methods are
clearly needed for achieving real time responses for problems previously
considered as easy ones. The same also holds for most heuristic methods or
approximation algorithms that have been proposed for obtaining approximate
solutions for hard optimization problems in acceptable execution times. For
large-scale problems, these techniques are inadequate, and much faster
algorithmic techniques are needed again.

Due to the aforementioned limitations, parallelism has been considered a
means of deriving faster algorithmic solutions. Parallel computation is
virtually ubiquitous nowadays and can be found in all modern computing
platforms. Although the concept of parallel execution is simple, its
application on combinatorial optimization problems is not straightforward,
due to the inherently irregular control flow that the algorithms for this
kind of problem commonly have. In this Special Issue, we solicit
contributions that will propose new methodologies for solving problems in
combinatorial optimization using parallel computation, either in
shared-memory systems (e.g., multi-core/many-core processors, GPUs, etc.) or
in distributed-memory systems (e.g., clusters, cloud architectures, etc.).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Parallel exact algorithms: e.g., divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming,
etc.

- Parallel approximation algorithms- Parallel fixed parameter algorithms

- Parallel heuristics/metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization
problems: e.g., local search, simulated annealing, evolutionary computation,
swarm intelligence computation, etc.

- Parallel techniques in integer linear programming: e.g., parallelization
of branch-and-bound, column generation, and cutting plane methods or their
combinations (i.e., branch-and-cut or branch-and-price).

- Parallel algorithms for multi-objective optimization problems.

CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scope]

Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse f!
ields including green mobile networ
ks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets.

Introduction
Electrical energy storage is a key factor for the future. The
consumption of electrical energy (i.e. the use of air conditioning,
audio and video devices or electric heating) is increasing every year
due; firstly to the increase of the population and secondly by the
appearance of new uses of consumption, such as electric cars. With this
increase consumption, how to ensure the balance between supply and
demand for electricity at all times? To address this problem, the idea
of placing the new generation of smart grids to control this energy has
appeared in recent literature in different flavors in order to provide
electric power supply secure, sustainable and competitive to consumers.
In addition, the revolution in smart grid involves a significant change
in side of the consumer where consumers will also become producer with
the ability of energy storage such as in the vehicle battery, or as a
local generation sources such as photovoltaic panels. However, the smart
grid develops modern solutions for the next-generation network and
digital communication in which many systems and subsystems are
interconnected to provide services from end-to-end network between
various actors and between intelligent devices that are deployed there.
Within each network, a hierarchical structure is composed of different
types of networks, such as the HANs (Home Area Networks), the BANs
(Building Area Networks), the IANs (Industrial Area Networks), the NANs
(Neighborhood Area Networks), the FANs (Field Area Networks), and the
WANs (Wide Area Networks). Currently, large societies propose the use of
cloud computing in smart grid applications connected with the electrical
control center. The main problem in the development of a smart grid is
not located at the physical medium but mainly in delivery of reliability
and security. The possibility of fitting with active or passive attacks
in smart grid network is great to divulge privacy and disrupt energy
(e.g. Wormhole Attack, False Data Injection Attack, Black Hole Attack,
Grey Hole Attack, DoS Attack, Physical Layer Attack, Colluding Adversary
Attack, Routing Table Overflow Attack etc.). Therefore, the security
requirements, including authentication, accountability, integrity,
non-repudiation, access control and confidentiality should be paid more
attention in the future for high performance smart grids. This book will
cover the current scope of various methodologies and mechanisms in the
theory and practice of security, privacy, intrusion detection, and
applied cryptography in smart grid communications in one place.

Objective
This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential
reference source, building on the available literature in the field of
smart grid security in developing countries while providing for further
research opportunities in this dynamic field. It is hoped that this text
will provide the resources necessary for policy makers, technology
developers and managers to adopt and implement smart grid platforms in
developing nations across the globe.

[DMANET] Call for abstracts EOM 2016 - International Workshop on Exploring Old Maps

International Workshop on Exploring Old Maps (EOM 2016)
June 8, 2016 *** University of Luxembourg, Campus Belval
https://exploringoldmaps.uni.lu
(co-located with DH Benelux<http://www.dhbenelux.org/>)

DESCRIPTION
Many libraries own an extensive collection of historical maps. Beside their value as historical objects, these maps are
an important source of information for researchers in various scientific disciplines. This ranges from the actual
history of cartography and general history to the geographic and social sciences. With the progressing digitisation of
libraries and archives, these maps become more easily available to a larger public. A basic level of digitisation
consists of scanned bitmap images, tagged with some basic bibliographic information such as title, author and year of
production. In order to make the maps more accessible, further metadata describing the contained information is
desirable. This would enable more user-friendly interfaces, relevant queries of a database, and automatic analyses.

TARGETED AUDIENCE
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the communication of results (which may appear elsewhere) that
may be useful to the community. Researchers and practitioners of all areas working on unlocking the content of old maps
are welcome to participate. We welcome humanities scholars, developers, computer and information scientists as well as
librarians, archivists and curators. Submissions are welcome from researchers at all career stages.

SCOPE OF INTEREST
Relevant topics are (but are not limited to) the following:
* Spatial analysis and applications of GIS concerning old maps
* Design and application of algorithms for analysis and visualisation methods
* Digital media, digitisation, curation of digital objects
* Crowdsourcing, user research, citizen science, and public humanities
* Digital Libraries for old maps
* Visualisation of old maps
* Virtual Research Environments and Infrastructures

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
* Wolfgang Crom, Head of Map Department, Staatsbibliothek Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Germany)
* Catherine Jones, Digital Humanities Lab Coordinator, CVCE - Centre Virtuel de la Connaissance sur l'Europe
(Luxembourg)
* Petr Pridal, CEO, Klokan Technologies (Switzerland)

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for presentations, posters and demonstrations.

The workshop will not have formal proceedings. Therefore, abstracts submitted to the EOM 2016 may report on work in
progress, be submitted to other places, and they may even already have appeared or been accepted elsewhere. We
particularly welcome submissions that have the potential to stimulate the collaboration between Humanities and Computer
Science. The reviewing process will mainly determine whether a submitted abstract promises to fit into the scope of this
workshop. Based on the review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee will decide
about the acceptance of submissions.

The authors of the papers accepted for EOM 2016 will be invited to submit the final versions of their abstracts for
on-line publication in the digital workshop booklet. Abstracts must be submitted to EOM 2016 via
EasyChair<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eom2016>. Each submission must specify its type in the EasyChair
submission form. The abstracts must not exceed 2 pages and the second page must contain only references and figures. All
submissions must use the provided Word or LaTeX
template<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html> in DIN A4. Abstracts for
demonstrations should include descriptive screenshots and a description of the system's functionalities.

Scope
The increasing availability of smart objects will radically change our cities. It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by a potentially higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate the their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge.

At the same time, end-user mobile devices are becoming more and more pervasive. In many countries, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions greatly overcomes the current population (even more than +150%). Furthermore today's smartphones/devices are provided with increasing sensing/communication/computation capabilities and they are capable to produce fine-grained context-information by properly analysing/mining the data produced by embedded sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, etc.

In this futuristic scenario the citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices, will assume the very special role of information prosumers (PROducers and conSUMERS). In fact, they will be constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they will be formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen's smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario.

All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge.

The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments.

In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
• Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city
• Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access;
• Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities;
• Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities
• Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments;
• Smartphone and mobile systems and applications;
• Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones;
• Crowd sourcing in smart cities;
• IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities;
• Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications;
• Device-2-Device Communications (D2D);
• Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications;
• Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications;
• Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems;
• Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems;
• Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems;
• Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue;
• Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management

All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Submission Instructions:
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 27th March 2016. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS (https://edas.info/N22207 <https://edas.info/N22207>).

[DMANET] [ACM CHANTS 2016] First Call for Papers

===============================================================================
===============================================================================

ACM CHANTS 2016 - 11th Workshop on Challenged Networks

co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016
October 3-7, 2016, New York, USA

www.acm-chants.org

===============================================================================
===============================================================================


Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired,
but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such
networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix
of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples
of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks
to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and
wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and,
more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged
networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to
delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship
should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many
applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived,
such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic
offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic
and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of
wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of
technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE's D2D
(device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further
push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking
has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g.,
applying findings from social networks and network science.

This workshop builds on the success of the ten previous CHANTS workshops, and
WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged
networking research. This year's edition encourages submission of theoretical
and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary
interest in the **new directions of challenged networking such as mobile
cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN**.
The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers
describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions.
Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome,
provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or
applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking,
describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and
implications for ongoing or future research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing
- Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks
- Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols
- Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing
- Mobile data offloading via challenged networks
- Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing
- Challenged networking in the Internet of Things
- Big data analytics in challenged networking
- Software-defined networking in challenged environments
- Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks
- Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks
- Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks
- Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments
- Network science methods for challenged networks
- Network coding in challenged networks
- Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles)
- Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use
- Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management)
- Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities)
- Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems
- Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks.

Programming (CP 2016)
ABSTRACTS
September 5-9, 2016, Toulouse, France

Submission deadline: April 13th, 2016
http://cp2016.a4cp.org/
*********************************************************************************************************

The International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint
Programming will take place in Toulouse, France, from September 5th to
September 9th 2016. It will include a special Music Track.

This is the 22nd edition of the annual conference on all aspects of
computing with constraints, including: theory, algorithms, environments,
languages, models, systems, and applications such as decision making,
resource allocation, scheduling, configuration, and planning. The Association
for Constraint Programming <http://www.a4cp.org> has a list of previous
conferences <http://www.a4cp.org/events/cp-conference-series> in this
series.

The CP 2016 program will include presentations of high quality scientific
papers on constraints technology. In addition to the usual technical track,
the CP 2016 conference will feature thematic tracks. Each track has a
specific sub-committee to make sure that competent reviewers will review
the papers submitted by people of these domains.

A number of invited talks on important topics relevant to the field will
also be presented. Beyond the usual workshop
<http://cp2016.a4cp.org/program/workshops/>, tutorial
<http://cp2016.a4cp.org/program/tutorials/> and doctoral programs, we will
repeat the published paper track in which important results that have
recently appeared in journals or sister conferences will be presented, the
journal publication fast track for outstanding submissions, and the
industry outreach program. Finally, we introduce this year a challenge
based on a realistic industrial grade optimization problem.
Music Track

Since its early beginning, Constraint Programming has a long history of
musical applications, like automatic harmonization, rhythm generation
tools, musical generation in a given style, constraint languages for music,
etc. The music track welcomes articles on any kind of musical application,
including (but not restricted to): music or sound generation or processing,
music modelling or analysis, generation of a particular musical aspect
(chords, notes, rhythms, etc.) of a musical piece, etc. On the CP side, we
welcome submissions for any kind of CP techniques, whether they are used in
a classical way (solving) or a less classical way (modelling languages, use
of CP solving traces, auralization, etc.).

[DMANET] GECCO 2016: Hot-Off-the-Press Track

**** GECCO 2016: Hot-Off-the-Press Track ****

2016 ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2016)
July 20-24, 2016, Denver, Colorado, USA
http://gecco-2016.sigevo.org/

Hot-Off-the-Press Track
http://gecco-2016.sigevo.org/index.html/Hot+off+the+Press
Track chair: Benjamin Doerr, Ecole Polytechnique, France
Deadline: April 10, 2016
NEW: Abstracts appear in the proceedings companion


The Hot-Off-the-Press track offers authors of recent papers the
opportunity to present their work to the GECCO community, both by giving
a talk on one of the three main days of the conference and by having a
2-page abstract appear in the proceedings companion, in which also the
workshop papers, late-breaking abstracts, and tutorials appear.

We invite researchers to submit summaries of their own work recently
published in top-tier conferences and journals. Contributions are
selected based on their scientific quality and their relevance to the
GECCO community. Typical contributions include (but are not limited to)
evolutionary computation papers appeared at venues different from GECCO,
papers comparing different heuristics and optimization methods that
appeared at a general heuristics or optimization venue, papers
describing applications of evolutionary methods that appeared at venues
of this application domain, or papers describing methods with relevance
to the GECCO community that appeared at a venue centered around this
methods domain. In any case, it is the author's responsibility to make
clear why this work is relevant for the GECCO community, and to present
the results in a language accessible to the GECCO community.

The deadline for submission is April 10, 2016. For the precise rules of
the track and the submission procedure, please consult the track page at
http://gecco-2016.sigevo.org/index.html/Hot+off+the+Press

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Techniques of genetic and evolutionary computation are being
increasingly applied to difficult real-world problems - often yielding
results that are not merely academically interesting, but competitive
with the work done by creative and inventive humans. Starting at the
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) in 2004, cash
prizes have been awarded for human-competitive results that had been
produced by some form of genetic and evolutionary computation in the
previous year.

This prize competition is based on published results. The publication
may be a paper at the GECCO conference (i.e., regular paper, poster
paper, or any other full-length paper), a paper published anywhere in
the open literature (e.g., another conference, journal, technical
report, thesis, book chapter, book), or a paper in final form that has
been unconditionally accepted by a publication and is in press (that
is, the entry must be identical to something that will be published
imminently without any further changes). The publication may not be
an intermediate or draft version that is still subject to change or
revision by the authors or editors. The publication must meet the
usual standards of a scientific publication in that it must clearly
describe a problem, the methods used to address the problem, the
results obtained, and sufficient information about how the work was
done in order to enable the work described to be independently
replicated.

An automatically created result is considered "human-competitive" if
it satisfies at least one of the eight criteria below.

(A) The result was patented as an invention in the past, is an
improvement over a patented invention, or would qualify today as a
patentable new invention.

(B) The result is equal to or better than a result that was accepted
as a new scientific result at the time when it was published in a
peer-reviewed scientific journal.

(C) The result is equal to or better than a result that was placed
into a database or archive of results maintained by an internationally
recognized panel of scientific experts.

(D) The result is publishable in its own right as a new scientific
result independent of the fact that the result was mechanically
created.

(E) The result is equal to or better than the most recent
human-created solution to a long-standing problem for which there has
been a succession of increasingly better human-created solutions.

(F) The result is equal to or better than a result that was considered
an achievement in its field at the time it was first discovered.

(G) The result solves a problem of indisputable difficulty in its
field.

(H) The result holds its own or wins a regulated competition involving
human contestants (in the form of either live human players or
human-written computer programs).

Contestants should note that a pervasive thread in most of the above
eight criteria is the notion that the result satisfy an "arms length"
standard - not a yardstick based on the opinion of the author, the
author's own institution (educational or corporate), or the author's
own close associates. "Arms length" may be established in numerous
ways. For example, if the result is a solution to "a long-standing
problem for which there has been a succession of increasingly better
human-created solutions," it is clear that the scientific community
(not the author, the author's own institution, or the author's close
associates) have vetted the significance of the problem. Similarly, a
problem's significance may be established if the result replicates or
improves upon a scientific result published in a peer-reviewed
scientific journal, replicates or improves upon a previously patented
invention, constitutes a patentable new invention, or replicates or
improves a result that was considered an achievement in its field at
the time it was first discovered. Similarly, a problem's significance
may be established if the result holds its own or wins a regulated
competition involving live human players or human-written computer
programs. In each of the foregoing examples, the standard for
human-competitiveness is being established external to the author, the
author's own institution, or the author's close associates. It is also
conceivable to rely only on criterion G ("The result solves a problem
of indisputable difficulty in its field"); however, if only criterion
G is claimed, there must be a clear and convincing argument that the
problem's "difficulty" is indeed "indisputable."

The competition will be held as part of the annual Genetic and
Evolutionary Computation (GECCO) conference. Presentations of entries
are to be made at the conference. The awards and prizes will be
announced at the conference.

Cash prizes of $5,000 (gold), $3,000 (silver), and bronze (either one
prize of $2,000 or two prizes of $1,000) will be awarded for the best
entries that satisfy one or more of the criteria for
human-competitiveness. The awards will be divided equally among
co-authors unless the authors specify a different division at the time
of submission. Prizes are paid by check in U.S. dollars after the
GECCO conference. The judges may, based on submissions, rearrange the
prize amounts and prize categories within the total amount available
for prizes.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENTERING THE "HUMIES"

If you plan to make an entry into this competition, please check the
web site at www.human-competitive.org for updated information and for
possible changes immediately prior to submitting your entry.

If you make an entry, please re-check the web site prior to the
conference for possible changes in the instructions or the schedule.

All entries are to be sent electronically to koza at human-competitive
dot org. All entries will be promptly acknowledged, so please make an
inquiry if you do not receive a reasonably prompt acknowledgment
shortly after your submission.

An entry must consist of one TEXT file and one or more PDF files. If
the same authors are making multiple entries, please submit separate
e-mails, each containing the required TEXT file and PDF file(s)
supporting the entry.

The TEXT file must contain the following 10 items. Please be very
careful to include ALL required information. Contestants are alerted
to the fact that items 6 and 9 are especially important and will be
the main basis by which entries will be judged. The papers and
presentations from earlier competitions (starting in 2004) are posted
at the competition web site at www.human-competitive.org. These
previous entries may be informative and helpful in crafting your
entry.

1. the complete title of one (or more) paper(s) published in the open
literature describing the work that the author claims describes a
human-competitive result;

2. the name, complete physical mailing address, e-mail address, and
phone number of EACH author of EACH paper(s);

3. the name of the corresponding author (i.e., the author to whom
notices will be sent concerning the competition);

4. the abstract of the paper(s);

5. a list containing one or more of the eight letters (A, B, C, D, E,
F, G, or H) that correspond to the criteria (see above) that the
author claims that the work satisfies;

6. a statement stating why the result satisfies the criteria that the
contestant claims (see examples of statements of human-competitiveness
as a guide to aid in constructing this part of the submission);

7. a full citation of the paper (that is, author names; publication
date; name of journal, conference, technical report, thesis, book, or
book chapter; name of editors, if applicable, of the journal or edited
book; publisher name; publisher city; page numbers, if applicable);

8. a statement either that "any prize money, if any, is to be divided
equally among the co-authors" OR a specific percentage breakdown as to
how the prize money, if any, is to be divided among the co-authors;

9. a statement stating why the authors expect that their entry would
be the "best," and

10. An indication of the general type of genetic or evolutionary
computation used, such as GA (genetic algorithms), GP (genetic
programming), ES (evolution strategies), EP (evolutionary
programming), LCS (learning classifier systems), GE (grammatical
evolution), GEP (gene expression programming), DE (differential
evolution), etc.

The PDF file(s) are to contain the paper(s). The strongly preferred
method is that you send a separate PDF file for each of your paper(s)
relating to your entry. Both the text file and the PDF file(s) for
each entry will be permanently posted on a web page shortly after the
deadline date for entries (for use by the judges, conference
attendees, and anyone else who is interested) and will remain posted
on the web as a permanent record of the competition. If your paper is
only available on the publisher's web site and your publisher
specifically requires that your published paper may appear only on
your own personal page, the second choice is that you send link(s) to
a separate web page on your web site containing link(s) to the PDF
file(s) of the paper(s) that constitute your entry. This separate web
page is to contain nothing else, so the interested parties may quickly
locate your paper(s). If you use this second-choice option, you must
ALSO supply a link to a permanent web site maintained by your
publisher where your specific paper may be viewed or purchased (that
is, not a link merely to the publisher's general home page, but a link
to the specific web page containing your paper on the publisher's
site). The objective, in each case, is to provide a permanent record
of the entries and to make it easy for anyone to locate your material.

Generally, only one paper should be submitted. Note that this is a
competition involving a result that satisfies the criteria for being
human-competitive (not a competition involving an evaluation of the
author's entire body of work). More than one paper should be
submitted only if no single paper fully describes the specific result
or method.

The judging committee will review all entries and identify a short
list for presentation at the GECCO conference. Finalists will be
notified by an e-mail to the corresponding author. Please acknowledge
receipt of this message, so the judges know that you received your
notice. Finalists must then make a short oral presentation to the
judging committee at a public session of the GECCO conference. The
presentations will be held on one of the early days of the conference,
and the winners will be announced a day or two later at the
conference.

Finalists must submit their presentation (e.g., a PowerPoint, PDF) by
e-mail to koza at human-competitive dot org. All submissions will be
promptly acknowledged, so please make an inquiry if you do not receive
a reasonably prompt acknowledgment. These presentations will be posted
on the web page for the competition.

At the GECCO conference, there will be 10-minute oral presentations by
the finalists to the judging committee. The presentations will be
open to all conference attendees at a special session of the
conference. The oral presentation should primarily focus on

1. why the result qualifies as being human-competitive and

2. why the judges should consider the entry as "best" in comparison to
other entries that may also be "human-competitive" (because, as
previously mentioned, these are the two main standards by which
entries will be judged by the judges).

In the short oral presentation to the judges, a description of the
work itself is decidedly secondary. By the time of the presentation
the judges will be familiar with the papers. Thus, the focus of the
presentation is on reasons why the work being presented should win a
prize - not an explanation or presentation of the work itself.

In the unlikely event that a presenter is scheduled to make a
presentation elsewhere at the GECCO conference at the same time,
please notify the judging committee, so they can rearrange time slots.

After the oral presentations, the award committee will meet and
consider the presentations.

The presenting author for each entry must register for the GECCO
conference.

A judge will recuse himself or herself if he or she is closely
associated with a finalist (e.g., a current academic advisor, current
collaborator, co-author with the finalist of related work).
