CALL FOR PAPERS

We would like to invite you to attend the 2007 IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation (CEC). Sponsored by the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society, and co-sponsored by the Evolutionary Programming
Society and the IET, the CEC 2007 will be held in Singapore, September
25-28, 2007. The annual IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation is one
of the leading events in the area of evolutionary computation. It covers
all topics in evolutionary computation, including, but not limited to:

 
* Ant colony optimization                       
* Artificial immune systems 
* Artificial life                               
* Autonomous mental & behavior development 
* Bioinformatics & bioengineering               
* Coevolution & collective behavior 
* Cognitive systems & applications              
* Combinatorial & numerical optimization 
* Computational finance & economics             
* Constraint & uncertainty handling 
* Evolutionary data mining                      
* Evolutionary design   
* Evolutionary games                            
* Evolutionary intelligent agents 
* Evolutionary learning systems                 
* Evolutionary robotic & control systems 
* Evolvable hardware & software                 
* Evolving neural networks & fuzzy systems 
* Memetic & hybrid algorithms                   
* Molecular & quantum computing 
* Multiobjective optimization                   
* Particle swarm intelligence 
* Real-world applications                       
* Representation & operators
* Theory of evolutionary computation 

CEC 2007 will feature a world-class conference that aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and
computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical exchanges
within the research community will encompass keynote speeches, special
sessions, tutorial workshops, panel discussions as well as poster
presentations. On top of this, participants will be treated to a series of
social functions, receptions and networking sessions, which will serve as
a vital channel to establish new connections and foster everlasting
friendship among fellow counterparts.

Singapore is a vibrant commercial and financial hub, which at the same
time also serves its role as a melting pot for the fusion of a diverse mix
of many different cultures. Visitors to this tropical island resort will
be treated to a great array of interesting attractions, festival
celebrations and cultural events, not forgetting the one-stop shopping and
eating experience in this entertainment paradise. The conglomeration of
all the different elements will definitely give visitors of Singapore an
exciting and unforgettable experience.
 
Student Travel Support: 

The IEEE/CIS Student Travel Grant Program offers a limited number of
travel grants to assist IEEE/CIS Student Members presenting papers at IEEE
CEC 2007. For more information, please see the conference website at

Call for Special Sessions: 

Special sessions have been both a tradition and an essential aspect of
CEC. With the aim of bringing together researchers on a specific topic,
such sessions are organized by renowned experts in the field across the
globe. The IEEE CEC 2007 Program Committee solicits proposals for special
sessions that are encompassed within the technical scope of the
conference. Interested researchers are cordially invited to submit a
proposal, which should include the session title, a brief description of
the scope and motivation, names, contact information, and brief CVs of the
organizers. For enquires, please contact the Special Sessions Chair, Dr
Yew Soon Ong (asysong@ntu.edu.sg).
