Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit a paper to EuroGP 2012, the 15th 
European Conference on Genetic Programming, and we kindly ask you to 
circulate this call in your institution, among your colleagues and 
students. Thank you!

             EuroGP 2012
       (first call for papers)
***********************************

15th European Conference on Genetic Programming
11-13 April 2012, Malaga - Spain
www.evostar.org

Submission deadline:
November 30, 2011


EuroGP is the premier annual conference on Genetic Programming. EuroGP 
is always a very enjoyable event, held together with the other main 
european events on Evolutionary Computation (EvoBio, EvoCOP, 
EvoApplications, EvoMusArt), collectively designated as EvoStar (Evo*). 
EvoStar 2012 takes place in Malaga, Spain, the capital of the Costa del 
Sol and one of the most cosmopolitan and open cities in Europe, widely 
known for its superb weather, food, and hospitality. It offers an 
excellent environment for participants to enjoy their visit, from the 
academic and the social point of view.

EuroGP 2012 seeks high quality papers on topics strongly related to the 
evolution of computer programs, including but not limited to:
     * Theoretical developments
     * Empirical studies of GP performance and behaviour
     * Landscape analysis of GP
     * Algorithms, representations and operators
     * Applications of GP to real-life problems
     * Evolutionary design
     * Evolutionary robotics
     * Tree-based GP
     * Linear GP
     * Graph-based GP
     * Grammar-based GP
     * Evolvable hardware
     * Self-reproducing programs
     * Multi-population GP
     * Multi-objective GP
     * Fast/Parallel GP (e.g., GPU implementation of GP)
     * Probabilistic GP (e.g., combining ideas of estimation of 
distribution algorithms and GP)
     * Evolution of various classes of automata or machine (e.g. 
cellular automata, finite state machines, pushdown automata, Turing 
machines)
     * Software Engineering and GP: using GP to evolve complete programs 
(e.g., including variables, loops, recursion) and using SE methods 
(e.g., software design) to improve GP
     * Object-oriented GP
     * Hybrid architectures including GP components
     * Unconventional evolvable computation

The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the 
program committee. The reviewing process will be double-blind, so please 
omit information about the authors in the submitted paper. Accepted 
papers will be presented orally or as posters at the conference and will 
be published by Springer in the LNCS series.

The papers which receive the best reviews will be nominated for the Best 
Paper Award. Authors of selected papers may be invited to submit 
extended versions of their work to the Springer journal GPEM - Genetic 
Programming and Evolvable Machines (http://www.springer.com/10710). Last 
year, four best papers were selected for a special issue of GPEM to be 
published in early 2012.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of EvoBio, EuroGP encourages 
submissions applying genetic programming to problems in computational 
biology and new biologically inspired extensions of the genetic 
programming framework for a special joint session of EuroGP with EvoBio. 
These papers can be submitted either to EuroGP or EvoBio, and the 
authors of the best ones will be invited to submit extended versions of 
their work to a special issue of GPEM.
