Paper Submission

Paper submission deadline: 1 March, 2006, 8 March, 2006

Please contact me via email if you would still like to present your work at MedGEC 2006.

Notification of acceptance: 29 March, 2006
Camera-ready copy deadline: 12 April, 2006
Workshop: 8 July, 2006 (provisional date)

Accepted papers will be considered for inclusion in a special issue of the
journal "Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines" (www.springer.com)

The material in a paper must represent substantially new work that has not been previously published by conferences, journals, or edited books in the genetic and evolutionary computation field. GECCO allows submissions of material that is substantially similar to a paper being submitted contemporaneously for review in another conference. However, if the submitted paper is accepted by GECCO, the authors agree that substantially the same material will not be published by another conference in the evolutionary computation field. Material may be later revised and submitted to a journal, if permitted by the journal.

Submission Instructions

Submissions for review must be a .pdf or .ps file generated from one of the ACM templates for native files described below.

Submissions for final, camera ready files require both the native file and a PDF or PS file

The PDF or PS file must:

  1. Be no more than 8 pages of ACM template pages in length
  2. Omit author names and affiliations: In order to make double blind reviewing possible, authors should omit their names and affiliations from the paper. Also, while the references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors, it should not include unpublished works. When referring to one's own work, use the third person rather than the first person. For example, say "Previously, Beyer [7] has shown that...", rather than "In our previous work [7] we have shown that...." Try to avoid including any information in the body of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their institutions. Such information can be added to the final camera-ready version for publication.
  3. Be emailed to: medgec@ohm.york.ac.uk by the published deadline.
