Artificial immune systems	Emerging areas	Hybrid evolutionary algorithms
Artificial life	Estimation of Distribution Algorithms	Linkage in evolutionary computation
Autonomous mental & behavior development	Evolution strategies	Memetic algorithms
Bioinformatics & computational biology	Evolutionary data mining	Molecular computing
Classifier systems	Evolutionary design	Multi-objective optimization
Coevolution & collective behavior	Evolutionary games	Network-on-chip based systems
Cognitive systems & applications	Evolutionary intelligent agents	Online & Self- adaptation
Combinatorial & numerical optimization	Evolutionary learning systems	Parallel evolutionary computation
Computational intelligence in games	Evolutionary programming	Particle swarm optimization
Computer vision	Evolutionary robotics	Quantum computing
Constraint handling	Evolvable hardware	Real-world applications
Cultural algorithms	Evolvable software	Representation & operators
Developmental systems	Evolved art & music	Scheduling & planning
Differential evolution	Evolving fuzzy systems	Swarm intelligence
Distributed evolutionary computation	Evolving neural networks	Theory

CEC 2013 will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from around the globe. Technical exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote speeches, special sessions and tutorials as well as presentations and posters. Participants will be treated to a series of social functions and networking sessions, which will serve as a vital channel to establish new connections and foster lasting friendship among fellow counterparts.

Call for Contributed Papers

Prospective authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers. All papers are to be submitted electronically through the Conference website. Program and general inquires can be made to: cec2013@cs.cinvestav.mx

Call for Special Sessions

Special sessions aim to bring together researchers in special focused topics. Papers submitted for special sessions will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. Researchers interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit formal proposals to the Special Sessions Chair Efrén Mezura Montes at emezura@lania.mx. A special session proposal should include the session title, a brief description of the scope and motivation, and the names, contact information and brief CV of the organizers.

Call for Tutorials

CEC 2013 will feature pre-congress tutorials covering fundamental and advanced evolutionary computation topics. A tutorial proposal should include title, outline, expected enrolment, and presenter biography. Tutorials are expected to run for 2 hours each. Researchers interested in organizing tutorials are invited to submit proposals to the Tutorials Chair Ricardo Takahashi at taka@mat.ufmg.br.
