Current volume: GECCO 2002: Proceedings of the Genetic Evolutionary Computation Conference.

The 2000 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
(GECCO-00) combines the longest running conference in evolutionary
computation (ICGA) and the world's two largest EC conferences (GP
and ICGA) to create a unique opportunity to bring together the best in
research in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation
(GEC).

The GECCO conference continues the tradition of the GP and ICGA
conferences of bringing together researchers from the entire spectrum
of research in evolutionary computation, including genetic algorithms,
classifier systems, genetic programming, evolvable hardware, DNA and
molecular computing, evolutionary strategies, evolutionary
programming, artificial life, adaptive behavior, agents, as well as
real-world applications of all of these areas.

Each paper submitted to the GECCO conference was peer-reviewed
by one of the independent program committees specializing in various
aspects of genetic and evolutionary computation. Each program
committee consists of a chair and members who are active researchers
and authors of published books and papers in the field of genetic and
evolutionary computation. Each program committee will establish its
own review criteria and policies and make the final decisions
concerning papers submitted to it. These independent "demes" help
ensure that the review process respects the diverse traditions and
norms of the various facets of genetic and evolutionary computation at
the same time it guarantees the acceptance of work of the highest
caliber.
