                         CALL FOR PAPERS  
                           EVOIASP2005                    
         Seventh European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation   
                in Image Analysis and Signal Processing  
              Lausanne, Switzerland, 30 March/1 April 2005  
  
  
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 has  been 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), and Coimbra, Portugal (2004).  
  
The workshop is part of EvoWorkshops2005, a collection of workshops on  
applications of  Evolutionary Computation to several  fields, and will  
be held in conjunction with EuroGP2005, the 8th European Conference on  
Genetic Programming,  and EvoCOP2005,  the 5th European  Conference on  
Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization.  
  
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  
  
Send  your manuscript,  at most  10 A4  pages long,  in  Springer LNCS  
format            (instructions            downloadable           from  
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf)     to     the  
programme chair, Stefano Cagnoni,  in gzipped PostScript or pdf format  
BY EMAIL  (cagnoni@ce.unipr.it) no later  than November 5,  2004.  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 10, 2004.  
  
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 14, 2005.  The accepted papers will appear in the  
workshop proceedings, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be  
available at the workshop.
