CALL FOR PAPERS

We would like to invite you to attend the 2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionar
y 
Computation (CEC). Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
, 
and co-sponsored by the Evolutionary Programming Society and the IET, the C
EC 
2007 will be held in Singapore, September 25-28, 2007. The annual IEEE Cong
ress 
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.
