GECCO'11 Preface

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 13th Annual Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference(GECCO-2011), held in Dublin, Ireland, July 12-16, 2011.

This year, we received 686 submissions, the highest number of submissions since GECCO was born in 1999, of which261 were accepted as full eight-page publication with 25 minute oral presentation during the conference. Thiscorresponds to an acceptance rate of 38%, the lowest so far since 1999. In addition, 136 submissions (20%) wereaccepted for poster presentation with two-page abstracts in the proceedings.

GECCO adheres to the "one conference, many mini-conferences" philosophy. This year, there were seventeen separatetracks that operated independently from each other. Fifteen of these tracks are longstanding GECCO features. Two"New Frontiers Tracks (NFT)" were selected from several proposals we received from the community. The purpose ofthe NFTs is to push the envelope and encourage our community to widen its horizons and seek new, perhapsinterdisciplinary, challenges and opportunities. Thus, this GECCO includes a new track on Digital EntertainmentTechnologies and Arts and the Self-* Search NFT. All tracks had two track chairs and individual program committees.To ensure an unbiased reviewing process, all reviews were conducted double blind; no authors' names were revealedto the reviewers (or vice versa). About 560 researchers participated in the reviewing process. We want to thank themfor all their hard work reviewing a record number of papers. Their work is absolutely vital to ensure the high quality ofthe conference and its long-term sustainability.

The 17 track chairs deserve special thanks for their efforts in assembling their program committees, performing thepaper assignments, and finally making the difficult acceptance or rejection decisions:

In addition to the presentation of the papers contained in these proceedings, GECCO-2011 also included 31 freetutorials, 12 workshops (involving 92 papers), the "Humies" awards for human-competitive results, the new GECCOIndustrial Challenge, 2 sessions on Evolutionary Computation in Practice, and 5 competitions..

Special thanks are due to Irene Ward, Jill Skuba, Mark Montague, Lisa Tolles, April Mosqus, Stephanie Sabal, AnnLane, and Donna Cappo whose work, help, and guidance were invaluable for getting all the non-scientific issues right.We also want to thank the ACM SIGEVO chair, business committee, and treasurer for their help, guidance, and advice.Last but not least, we want to thank the numerous researchers and practitioners, who submitted their work toGECCO-2011, presented a tutorial, organized a workshop, or helped in any other way to make the conference asuccess.

A Word from the Chair of SIGEVO

Welcome to the Proceedings of GECCO-2011, the thirteenth GECCO, and a "recombination" of the 20th InternationalConference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA) and the 16th Genetic Programming Conference (GP). First, Pier Luca Lanzidid a super-human job as General Chair of GECCO-2011; he seemed to be everywhere doing everything just in time.Natalio Krasnogor, as Editor-in-Chief, led the effort to select papers for publication. The quality of the paperssubmitted to GECCO is very high, and GECCO has the most rigorous selection process in the field of EvolutionaryComputation. The combined effect means that the best papers and most important work in the field of EvolutionaryComputation is presented at the GECCO conference.

If you were not able to attend GECCO-2011 in person, the Proceedings are in the ACM Digital Library; they areglobally accessible and readily found, which benefits both readers and authors. The highly decentralized reviewprocess used for reviewing papers for GECCO assures that each category of papers is reviewed by experts in thatsubspecialty.

ACM SIGEVO

The members of ACM SIGEVO, sponsor of GECCO, have already seen major benefits of becoming a part of ACM. Inaddition to being part of the ACM Digital Library, another key benefit is the outstanding newsletter, SIGEVOlutions,produced by editor Pier Luca Lanzi and an excellent editorial board. If you are accessing these proceedings and are nota member of SIGEVO, please consider joining (for the low price of $25/year for non-students, and $10/year for studentmembers). In addition to SIGEVOlutions, members receive a major discount for GECCO registration. The journalEvolutionary Computation is now also available as part of the ACM Digital Library due to the efforts of ACMSIGEVO.

Involvement in SIGEVO

SIGEVO is now a regular SIG of the ACM. Our bylaws are on the SIGEVO web pages, as is a list of the ExecutiveCommittee-an 18-member body. I'd like to thank the officers who have served with me this last year: John Koza (ViceChair), Una-May O'Reilly (Secretary), and Wolfgang Banzhaf (Treasurer). I have served as Chair of SIGEVO for thelast 4 years, and will be stepping down in 2011 to give new faces the chance to lead our community. If you areinterested in devoting some time and energy to GECCO or SIGEVO, please let us know. You can contact me [email protected].

It has been a pleasure and an honor to chair SIGEVO. I have been a part of the evolutionary computation community for25 years, and in many ways it has become another family. I look forward to continuing involvement in SIGEVO .
