CALL FOR PAPERS
                            EVOIASP2005                  
          Seventh European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation 
                 in Image Analysis and Signal Processing
               Lausanne, Switzerland, 30 March/1 April 2005
 
 
 Evolutionary algorithms have been shown  to be tools which can be used
 effectively in  the development of systems (software  or hardware) for
 image  analysis  and signal  processing  in  complex  domains of  high
 industrial and social relevance.
 
 EvoIASP has  been the first  European event specifically  dedicated to
 the applications  of evolutionary  computation (EC) to  image analysis
 and  signal  processing (IASP)  and  gives  European and  non-European
 researchers  in those  fields, as  well  as people  from industry,  an
 opportunity to  present their latest  research and to  discuss current
 developments  and   applications,  besides  fostering   closer  future
 interaction between members of the three scientific communities.
 
 The previous editions of the  Workshop were held in Gothenburg, Sweden
 (1999),  Edinburgh, UK  (2000), Como,  Italy (2001),  Kinsale, Ireland
 (2002), Colchester, UK (2003), and Coimbra, Portugal (2004).
 
 The workshop is part of EvoWorkshops2005, a collection of workshops on
 applications of  Evolutionary Computation to several  fields, and will
 be held in conjunction with EuroGP2005, the 8th European Conference on
 Genetic Programming,  and EvoCOP2005,  the 5th European  Conference on
 Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization.
 
 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
   applications of evolutionary computation to real-life IASP problems,    
   evolvable vision and signal processing hardware,
   evolutionary pattern recognition,
   hybrid  architectures  for machine  vision  and  signal  processing  
   including evolutionary components,
   theoretical developments,
   comparisons between  different evolutionary techniques and  between
   evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in IASP applications,
   time series analysis by means of EC techniques.
 
 Submissions
 
 Send  your manuscript,  at most  10 A4  pages long,  in  Springer LNCS
 format            (instructions            downloadable           from
 http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf)     to     the
 programme chair, Stefano Cagnoni,  in gzipped PostScript or pdf format
 BY EMAIL  (cagnoni@ce.unipr.it) no later  than November 5,  2004.  The
 papers will  be peer reviewed by  at least two members  of the program
 committee.  Authors will  be notified via email on  the results of the
 review by December 10, 2004.
 
 The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the
 basis of  the reviewers' comments and  will be asked to  send a camera
 ready  version  of their  manuscripts,  along  with  text sources  and
 pictures, by January 14, 2005.  The accepted papers will appear in the
 workshop proceedings, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be
 available at the workshop.
