Call for Papers ICGA-91 The Fourth International Conference on Genetic Algorithms The Fourth International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA-91), will be held on July 13-16, 1991 at the University of California - San Diego in La Jolla, CA. This meeting brings together an international community from academia, government, and industry interested in algorithms suggested by the evolutionary process of natural selection. Topics of particular interest include: genetic algorithms and classifier systems, machine learning and optimization using these systems, and their relations to other learning paradigms (e.g., connectionist networks). Papers discussing how genetic algorithms and classifier systems are related to biological modeling issues (e.g., evolution of nervous systems, computational ethology, artificial life) are encouraged. Papers describing significant, unpublished research in this area are solicited. Authors must submit four (4) complete copies of their paper, postmarked by February 1, 1991, to the Program Co-Chair: Dr. Richard K. Belew Computer Science & Engr. Dept. (C-014) Univ. California - San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093 Electronic submissions (LaTeX source only) can be mailed to rik@cs.ucsd.edu. Papers should be no longer than 10 pages, single spaced, and printed using 12 pt. type. All papers will be subject to peer review. Evaluation criteria include the significance of results, originality, and the clarity and quality of the presentation.
