APPLICATIONS OF EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (EC)

at The 39th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing (ACM SAC 2024)

 For the past thirty-seven years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2024 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and Microsoft Research.

The Evolutionary Computation (EC) track welcomes original, unpublished papers describing advances in and applications of evolutionary computation and related techniques, including genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, memetic algorithms, genetic programming, ant colony optimization, co-evolutionary algorithms, artificial immune systems, particle swarm optimization, and classifier systems.

All accepted papers will appear in the SAC 2024 Proceedings. Selected papers, not accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers. These will be presented at a poster session during the Symposium and will be published as three-page extended abstracts in the Proceedings.

Peer groups with expertise in the track focus area will blindly review submissions to that track. Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings. Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2024 Website.

A paper may be submitted to only one track of SAC 2024.

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM digital library.

IMPORTANT DATES (all deadlines will be strictly enforced):

• October 13, 2023: Submission of regular papers and SRC research abstracts

• October 30, 2023: Notification of paper acceptance/rejection

• October 30, 2023: Notification of SRC acceptance/rejection

• November 30, 2023: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers/SRC

• November 30, 2023: Author registration due date

• Tuesday April 9, 2024: SRC Posters Exhibit

• Wednesday April 10, 2024: Non-SRC Posters Program

• Thursday April 11, 2024: SRC Oral Presentations

We are working on a proposal for a special issue of a journal where authors of the best papers of the tracks will be invited to submit an extended version of their articles.
