[DMANET] 2nd CfP: EVOApplications 2018 - Parma, 4-6 April 2018

Submission Deadline: 1 November, 2017, 16 pages Springer LNCS

Authors of selected publications will be invited to submit an extended
version of their work to Springer's Genetic Programming and Evolvable
Machines (GPEM, impact factor: 1.514, fast track review process).

EvoApplications, the European Conference on the Applications of
Evolutionary Computation brings together researchers in a variety of areas
of application of Evolutionary Computation and other Nature-inspired
techniques.

EvoApplications' 21st edition will be held as part of the EvoStar 2018
event in Parma, Italy, 4-6 April 2018, and co-located within EvoStar with
three related conferences: EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoMUSART.


*Publications*
- This year EvoApplications is accepting two kinds of submission: full
papers and short papers. Full papers require novel and complete research
work and have a limit of 16 pages. Short papers should present complete
research or interesting preliminary results and have a limit of 8 pages.
Both types of submission will undergo the same double-blind review process
and all accepted papers will be included in the LNCS proceedings. Based on
reviewers' assessment, accepted full papers will be presented as
full-length talks, and authors of accepted short papers will present a
short talk as well as present a poster. All authors of accepted papers
will be given the opportunity to further disseminate their work in poster
sessions.
- All accepted papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.
- The review process is double-blind. Please ensure to anonymize your
submission accordingly.
- Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to Genetic
Programming and Evolvable Machines.


*The Venue*
Parma is an elegant city with the refined atmosphere of a "petite
capitale". It is rich in cultural treasures and with its attractive
architecture, shops and restaurants, it is very welcoming. Parma is a
centre of gastronomic heritage, famous for Parma ham and Parmigiano
Reggiano cheese. The conference will be held at the University Campus.


*Tracks*
EvoApplications 2018 is composed of 14 tracks, each focusing on an area of
application of genetic and evolutionary computation and other related
Computational Intelligence fields. The following tracks will be running in
2018. Papers on applications of Evolutionary Computation and related
methods to other fields are also welcome and will be presented within a
"General" track.

- EvoBAFIN - Computational Intelligence Methods in Business Analytics
and Finance.
- EvoBIO - Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining

for Biology and Medicine.
- EvoCOMNET - Nature-inspired Techniques for Communication Networks and
other Parallel and Distributed Systems.
- EvoCOMPLEX - Evolutionary Algorithms and Complex Systems.
- EvoENERGY - Evolutionary Algorithms in Energy Applications.
- EvoGAMES - Bio-inspired Algorithms in Games.
- EvoIASP - Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis, Signal
Processing
and Pattern Recognition.
- EvoINDUSTRY - Evolutionary and Bio- Inspired Computational Techniques
within Real-World Industrial and Commercial Environments.
