The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2005) will present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. Topics include: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, real-world application, learning classifier systems and other genetics-based machine learning, evolvable hardware, artificial life, adaptive behavior, ant colony optimization, swarm intelligence, biological applications, evolutionary robotics, evolutionary combinatorial optimization, co-evolution, artificial immune systems, and other topics. Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously reviewed, in a double-blind review process, by one of the 16 separate and independent specialized program committees that make final decisions, subject only to conference-wide space limitations and procedures.

Loew's L'Enfant Plaza Hotel is centrally and conveniently located right
at the main junction station of the Washington DC subway system and
will offer special rates for GECCO attendees.

The GECCO-2005 conference will also offer $10,000 in prizes for
human-competitive results produced by genetic and evolutionary
computation. Visit http://www.human-competitive.org

The GECCO-2005 conference is co-located with the 2005 NASA/DoD
Conference on Evolvable Hardware Conference running from June 29 -
July 1 (Wednesday - Friday), 2005 at the Westin Grand Hotel
Washington, DC. Visit http://ic.arc.nasa.gov/projects/eh2005
