Genetic Programming 1998 Conference Schedule

July 22 - 25 (Wednesday - Saturday), 1998

University of Wisconsin - Madison, Wisconsin USA



Last Modified: July 11, 1998


In cooperation with American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, IEEE Neural Networks Council, Society for Computer Simulation (SCS), and ACM SIGART

The GP-98 conference will be held at the Memorial Union Building (not "Union South") of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. The Memorial Union is located at 800 Langdon Street (Phone: 608-265-3000).

Conference registration, coffee breaks, box lunches, vendor tables, and the evening session for poster papers and late-breaking papers are all in Main Lounge of the Memorial Union. All the sessions (plenary and parallel) and all tutorials are in the Memorial Union Building.

Each conference attendee will receive a copy of the conference proceedings book at the conference (unless this book was shipped earlier), the late-breaking papers book, six tutorial books, and badge (which provides admission to conference sessions, the 3 evening receptions, and box lunches). The conference provides box lunches on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but not Saturday. There are numerous places to eat in and near the Memorial Union Building.

The 25-minute minute segment for each paper is divided as follows: 15 MINUTES FOR THE PRESENTER (one of the authors) of the paper, 5 minutes for the disuccsant's comments and questions, and 5 five minutes for general audience questions. In the unlikely event that a speaker does not appear in a parallel session, the session should be temporarily adjourned until the next speaker's scheduled time (to allow people planning to hear particular later talks to hear those talks on schedule). If a discussant does not appear, the speaker should extend the question and answer period and/or add to his or her presentation so that his or her paper occupies 25 minutes and so that the next talk starts at its scheduled time.

The Symposium on Genetic Algorithms (SGA) consists of 8 sessions running in parallel with other parallel sessions of the conference and spanning the entire length of the conference.

"GPCPB" in the schedule refers to "Genetic Programming Conference Proceedings Book" and "LBP" refers to the "Late Breaking Papers" book.

The GP-98 Graduate Student Workshop is in the Inn Wisconsin room of the Memorial Union Building on Tuesday July 21.

The GP-98 conference is operated by Genetic Programming Conferences Inc., a California not-for-profit corporation. Additional information is at the GP-98 home page on the World Wide Web at
www.genetic-programming.org or via e-mail at gp@aaai.org

In 1999, there will be a joint conference combining the Eighth International Conference on Genetic Algorithms (ICGA-99) and the Fourth Annual Genetic Programming Conference (GP-99). The combined conference in 1999, called the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO), will be in lieu of ICGA-99 and GP-99. The GECCO conference will be held on July 14 - 17 (Wednesday - Saturday), 1999 in Orlando, Florida. The paper submission deadline is Wednesday January 27, 1999. There will be a pre-conference Graduate Student Workshop on Tuesday, July 13, 1999. Details are at
