MedGEC 2012 - 8th GECCO Workshop on Medical Applications of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation

MedGEC is the GECCO Workshop on the application of genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC) to problems in medicine and healthcare.
Subject areas
Subjects will include (but are not limited to) applications of GEC to:
Medical imaging
Medical signal processing
Medical text analysis
Clinical diagnosis and therapy
Data mining medical data and records
Clinical expert systems
Modelling and simulation of medical processes
Drug description analysis
Patient-centric care
Paper Submission
The material in a paper must represent substantially new work that has not been previously published by conferences, journals, or edited books in the genetic and evolutionary computation field. GECCO allows submissions of material that is substantially similar to a paper being submitted contemporaneously for review in another conference. However, if the submitted paper is accepted by GECCO, the authors agree that substantially the same material will not be published by another conference in the evolutionary computation field. Material may be later revised and submitted to a journal, if permitted by the journal.
Submission Instructions
Paper should be a maximum of 8 pages and conform to the same ACM formatting requirements as for regular papers. Details and templates available at the main GECCO website.
Accepted Workshop papers will be published in the GECCO 2009 Companion Material, included with the proceedings on a CD, and also in the ACM Digital Library.
Papers should be submitted as a single PDF file via email to medgec-AT-ohm.york.ac.uk (NOT through the GECCO electronic submission system).
