Call for participation -- 2017 IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to
invite you to the 2017 IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation
(www.cec2017.org) that will be held in San Sebastian, Spain, in June
5-8, 2017.

IEEE CEC  is a world-class conference that aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation
and computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical
exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote
lectures, regular and special sessions, tutorials, and competitions as
well as poster presentations. In addition, participants will be
treated to a series of social functions, receptions, and networking to
establish new connections and foster everlasting friendship among
fellow counterparts.

Donostia/San Sebastian is a coastal medium-size city located in
northern Spain, 20km from the border with France. It stands as an
amphitheatre over-looking the sea. It is known the world over for its
spectacular bay and is referred to as the Pearl of the Cantabrian Sea.
It is also internationally renowned for being a culinary haven where
visitors will find more Michelin stars per square meter than in any
other city in the world. The conference will take place at the Kursaal
Convention Center and Auditorium. Kursaal is located in the city
center, overlooking the seafront. This avant-garde architectural
showpiece was designed by Rafael Moneo  and won the Mies van der Rohe
prize for the best building in Europe in 2001. The main hotels,
restaurants and shopping areas are within walking distance.
