Second CALL FOR PAPERS
EvoComNet2004
First European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Communications, Networks, and Connected Systems
Coimbra, Portugal, April 5-7, 2004
---------------------------------------------- Key dates: Submission deadline: 14 November 2003 Notification of acceptance: 19 December 2003 Camera ready copy due: 16 January 2004 ----------------------------------------------
EvoComNet2004 is the first European workshop on the application of evolutionary computation techniques to problems in communication, networks, and connected systems. New communication technologies, the creation of interconnected communication and information networks like the Internet, new types of inter-personal and inter-organisational communication, and the integration and interconnection of production centres and industries are the driving forces on our road towards a connected, networked, society. Important problems in this application domain that are adressed by the workshop are
- design of networks, communication systems, and connected systems - network and graph problems - network and computer security - control of the flow of information and other network goods, - design of inter-personal and inter-organizational systems - supply chain design and logistics problems - supply and disposal networks
All aspects of evolutionary computation methods, as well as other nature-inspired and non-evolutionary design and optimization techniques, are welcome.
EvoComNet2004 will be held at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in conjunction with EvoWorkshops2004. The workshop proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series and will be available at the workshop.

--------------------- Submission procedure ---------------------
High quality papers are sought on topics related to the focus of the workshop, ranging from theoretical work to innovative applications. Submissions should be a maximum of ten A4 pages and they should be sent in zipped postscript or pdf format to evocomnet2004@uni-mannheim.de. It is recommended that the papers conform to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). It is important that the email accompanying submission should state ALL the authors, including ALL their email addresses. A notification of receipt will be emailed a few days after the submission.
The reviewing process is double blind. Authors should remove their names from submitted papers, and should take reasonable care that their identity is disguised. References to own work can be included in the paper, but should be referred to in the third person.
