Call for papers:

EvoIASP 2017

Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis, Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition

Important notice

Due to a large number of request for late submissions, the EvoStar submission sites will stay open until this Tuesday 15 November 23:59:59 SST, after which no further submissions will be accepted. Authors who have already submitted, can update their work until this time.

The recipients of the "EvoAPPLICATIONS Best Paper Awards" will be invited to submit an extended version of their works to a special issue of Memetic Computing.

Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be tools which can be used effectively in the development of systems (software or hardware) for image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition in complex domains of high industrial and social relevance.

The longest-running of all EvoApplications tracks, EvoIASP started in 1999 as a workshop, the first event ever specifically dedicated to the applications of evolutionary computation to image analysis and signal processing (IASP), as well as to Pattern Recognition.

EvoIASP aims to offer European and non-European researchers in those fields, as well as people from industry, an opportunity to present their latest research and to discuss current developments and applications, besides fostering closer future interaction between members of the three scientific communities.

Areas of Interest and Contributions

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • applications of evolutionary computation to real-world image analysis
  • signal processing and pattern recognition problems
  • evolvable vision and signal processing hardware
  • hybrid approaches to machine vision, signal processing and pattern recognition including evolutionary components
  • theoretical developments
  • comparisons between different evolutionary techniques and between evolutionary and non-evolutionary techniques in image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition applications
  • time series analysis by means of EC techniques
