Welcome to MedGEC 2010 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     Medical text analysis     Clinical diagnosis and therapy     Data mining medical data and records     Clinical expert systems     Modelling and simulation of medical processes     Drug description analysis     Patient-centric care 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 2010 Companion Material, included with the proceedings on a CD, and also in the ACM Digital Library.
