Workshop introduction:

This workshop brings together researchers, developers, practitioners, and users intereted in the area of Evolutionary Computing and its applications for Data Processing. The aim of this workshop is to serve as a forum for presenting current and future work, as well as to exchange research ideas in this field. Potential authors are invited to submit their original previously unpublished work describing current research in any area of Evolutionary Computing in Data Processing including:

• Theory and practice of evolutionary techniques in data-processing
• Adaptive information retrieval
• User information needs modelling
• Biological computation
• Classifier systems
• Artificial life
• Artificial immune systems
• Evolution strategies
• Ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization
• Swarm intelligence
• Human interface
• Bacterial foraging
• Hybrid approaches

Best papers:

Selected best papers will be invited to expand as a book chapter for an edited volume on 'Evolutionary Data-Preprocessing' published by Springer Verlag, Series - 'Studies in Computational Intelligence'.

Editors of the book: Vaclav Snasel and Ajith Abraham http://www.springer.com/series/7092

Selected papers will be published in special issue of the international journal Neural Network World, published by the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic.
