Genetic Programming Track @ GECCO 2012, 7-11 July 2012, Philadelphia, USA

=================================================================


In the field of Genetic Programming (GP), evolutionary algorithms are used to automatically search for an algorithm or structure that solves a given problem. The Genetic Programming track invites original submissions on all aspects of the evolutionary generation of computer programs or other variable sized structures for specified tasks. Topics include but are not limited to:

1. Theoretical developments

2. Empirical studies of GP performance and behavior

3. Novel algorithms, representations and/or operators

4. Hybrid architectures including GP components

5. Unconventional evolvable computation

6. Evolution of tree or graph structures

7. Evolution of Lindenmayer Systems

8. Grammar-based GP

9. Linear GP

10. Self-Reproducing Programs

11. Evolution of various classes of automata or machines (e.g. cellular automata, finite state machines, pushdown automata, Turing machines)

12. Object-oriented Genetic Programming

13. Evolution of functional languages
