General Information
The Competitions Chair of GECCO 2020 invites domain experts to submit proposals for organizing a competition at GECCO 2020. The deadline for this, which is NON-EXTENSIBLE, is as follows:
- Proposals for competitions: November 7, 2019
Competitions demonstrate how Evolutionary Computation and related techniques can be utilized in challenging practical, real-world and gaming settings. They also enable fair comparisons between algorithms and (for recurrent competitions) provide the possibility to follow the development of approaches over time.
Just like at GECCO 2019, we are offering the publication of short algorithm descriptions as 2-page contributions to the GECCO Companion. The competition organizers decide whether they want to offer this to the competition participants. The deadline for these algorithm descriptions will be in April 2020, and they will be reviewed by the respective competition organizers.
