GECCO 2009
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
8-12 July 2009
Montreal, Canada.

Welcome to MedGEC 2009

MedGEC is the GECCO Workshop on the application of genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC) to problems in medicine and healthcare.

Subject areas

Subjects will include (but are not limited to) applications of GEC to:

Medical imaging
Medical signal processing
Clinical diagnosis and therapy
Data mining medical data and records
Clinical expert systems
Modeling and simulation of medical processes

A dedicated workshop at GECCO provides a much needed focus for medical related applications of EC, not only providing a clear definition of the state
of the art, but also support to practitioners for whom GEC might not be their main area of expertise or experience.

The Workshop has two main aims:

(i) to provide delegates with examples of the current state of the art
of applications of GEC to medicine.

(ii) to provide a forum in which researchers can discuss and exchange
ideas, support and advise each other in theory and practice.

GECCO is widely regarded to be the most authoritative conference in
GEC and, as such, offers the ideal venue for this important and
growing community.

Accepted Workshop papers will be published in the GECCO 2009 Companion Material, included with the proceedings on a CD, and also in the ACM Digital Library.

Important dates:

Paper submission deadline: 25 March 2009 now 3 April, 2009
Notification of acceptance: 3 April, 2009 now 7 April
Camera-ready copy deadline: 17 April, 2009
Workshop: 8 July, 2009
