2021 - IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2021

IEEE CEC 2021 will host a few pre-Congress workshops, focusing on
discussing contemporary topics in the Congress area. Workshops offer a
technical community the opportunity to polarize ideas towards a common
vision for a sub-field, or the development of a position on topic.
Workshops can be organized around emerging research areas, challenging
problems and industrial applications. Workshops may include tutorials,
keynote / invited lectures, contributed papers and presentations, panel
discussions. Other forms, structures and content are also possible.
Organizers of accepted workshops are expected to prepare a workshop
website and call for papers, publicize the workshop, gather submissions,
conduct the reviewing process and decide upon the final workshop program.
A workshop proposal should include
* a workshop title and a short introduction to the topic,
* aims and relevance of the proposed workshop to IEEE CEC 2021,
* a list of potential speakers,
* the expected length of the workshop (half a day or a full day),
* the workshop tentative form and structure,
* names, affiliations, websites and bios of the organizers.
Papers accepted at a workshop will not be published in the main
proceedings. Workshop organizers may, either, seek an independent
publication such as a post-even special issue in a journal, or, organize
a special session within IEEE CEC 2021. In the latter case, accepted
papers will appear in the main conference proceedings.
Proposals and inquiries, regarding workshops, should be addressed to the
Workshop Chair: Maria Ganzha m.ganzha-AT-mini.pw.edu.pl.
** Workshop proposals should be submitted by November 19th, 2020.
** All workshops will be held on June 28th, 2021.
