GECCO-2000 Workshop On Data Mining With Evolutionary Algorithms.
              Las Vegas, NV, USA.  Saturday July 8, 2000.

The goal of this half-day workshop is to discuss research integrating
the areas of data mining and evolutionary algorithms. Topics of interest
include (but are not limited to):

Evolutionary algorithms (EA) for classification, clustering, dependence
modelling, regression,  time series and other data mining tasks
Extraction of comprehensible, interesting knowledge with EA
Scaling up EA for very large databases
Parallel and/or distributed EA
Comparison between EA and other data mining methods
Genetic operators tailored for data mining tasks
Incorporating domain knowledge in EA
Integrating EA with database systems
Data mining with evolutionary, intelligent agents
Hybrid (neural-genetic, rule induction-genetic, etc.) EA
Uncertainty handling with EA
Data pre-processing (e.g. data cleaning, attribute selection) with EA
Post-processing of the discovered knowledge with EA
Mining semi-structured or unstructed data (e.g. text mining) with EA

Speakers will be selected via submission of short papers. Position
papers are also welcome. Papers will be selected by an international
program committee.

This is the second workshop on this theme. The first one, the AAAI-99 &
GECCO-99 Workshop on Data Mining with Evolutionary Algorithms, was
attended by about 45 people. It consisted of six papers presentations,
and the proceedings of the workshop were published by AAAI Press as the
Technical Report WS-99-06
(ISBN: 1-57735-09001). The GECCO-2000 Workshop will be a "follow up" of
the AAAI-99 & GECCO-99 Workshop. We are organizing a half-day workshop.
The registration fee for the workshop is included in the conference
registration fee.

Submitted papers must have at most four pages. A postscript version of
the paper must be e-mailed to the chairman by February 11.

   Important Dates:
Paper submission: February 11
Acceptance/Rejection notification: March 8
Camera-ready copy submission: April 1

GECCO-2000 (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conf.) will be held in
Las Vegas, Riviera Hotel, NV, USA, July 8-12 (Saturday - Wednesday),
2000. GECCO-2000 will present the latest high-quality research results
in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. The
GECCO-99 conference attracted 619 attendees and was the largest and most
comprehensive conference in the field of genetic and evolutionary
computation. GECCO-2000 will be the inaugural conference of the recently
formed International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
(www.isgec.org). The new society and the GECCO conference bring together
the oldest society in the
  field of evolutionary computation (ISGA) as well as the two largest
conferences in the field (the Genetic Programming Conference and the
International Conference on Genetic Algorithms). Twelve workshops
(included in conference registration fee) will be held on Saturday July
8, 2000; 24 tutorials (included in conference registration fee) will be
given on Sunday July 9; and presentation of papers will occur on July 10
- 12 (Monday - Wednesday). For more information about hotels, travel,
student travel grants, see the conference's WWW pages at
