Workshop Announcement and Call for Participation
The 3rd Grammatical Evolution Workshop (GEWS 2004)
a Workshop of
June 26-30, Seattle, Washington, USA
Following on from the success of two earlier workshops on Grammatical
(GEWS 2002,
GEWS 2003) held at
GECCO 2002, and
GECCO 2003
we are pleased to announce the 3rd Grammatical
Evolution Workshop to be held at GECCO 2004.
Grammatical Evolution (GE) is an evolutionary automatic programming system that can evolve programs in an arbitrary language from a binary string. GE adopts a genotype-phenotype mapping process taking as input a grammar that describes the syntax of the evolved program. In addition to the grammar, the search algorithm (the standard has been a variable-length genetic algorithm) is also a 'plug-in' component of the system.
The workshop will address all aspects of GE including foundations, extensions, analysis, applications, and welcomes submissions on all grammar-based approaches to Genetic Programming.
