EvoIASP2007
Ninth European Workshop on  Evolutionary Computation
in Image Analysis and Signal Processing

incorporated in Evo* 2007

Valencia, Spain, 11-13 April 2007


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  is 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), Coimbra,  Portugal  (2004), Lausanne,
Switzerland (2005), and Budapest, Hungary (2006).

The  workshop will  be part  of Evo*  2007, a  joint event  which will
incorporate  EuroGP  2007,  the  9th European  Conference  on  Genetic
Programming, EvoCOP 2007, the  7th European Conference on Evolutionary
Computation  in  Combinatorial  Optimization,  EvoBIO  2007,  the  5th
Conference  on Evolutionary Bioinformatics,  and EvoWorkshops  2007, a
set  of  nine  thematic  workshops  on  applications  of  Evolutionary
Computation.


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

Submit your  manuscript, at  most 10 A4  pages long, in  Springer LNCS
format            (instructions            downloadable           from
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html)
using  the  online submission  service  no  later  than November  1st,
2006. 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 15, 2006.

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  8, 2007. The accepted papers  will appear in the
workshop proceedings, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be
available at the workshop.

The authors of papers which receive the best reviews will be nominated
for the  'Best paper Award' and  invited (if of  appropriate topic) to
submit an  extended version  to Evolutionary Computation  (MIT Press),
for possible publication in the special issue on Evolutionary Computer
Vision.
