                     CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
                    The AAAI-99 & GECCO-99 Workshop on 
       DATA MINING WITH EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS: RESEARCH DIRECTIONS.
                     July 17 or 18, Orlando, Florida.

  There has been a growing interest in data mining in several AI-related 
areas, including evolutionary algorithms. Hence, it seems that it is the 
right time for the communities of data mining and evolutionary algorithms 
to meet and exchange ideas. The general goal of the workshop will be to 
discuss promising and necessary research directions in data mining with evolutionary algorithms.  
  
 The workshop length will be either half day or full day, depending on the
number of submitted papers. The workshop will consist of presentations by 
selected speakers, followed by discussions. Speakers will be selected via submission of short papers, reviewed by an international program committee. 
Submitted papers must address important research directions and open problems, 
rather than just discuss some particular algorithm developed by the authors. 

 The workshop will have a limited number of participants. If you cannot 
submit a paper or if your paper is not selected, you can still attend 
the workshop if you are invited by the Chairman. Invitees will be
selected via submission of a short CV, describing their relevant expertise, 
main publications, etc.

The following items must be submitted to the Workshop Chairman:
* A hardcopy of a short CV (maximum 2 pages) for each author
* Four hardcopies of a short paper (maximum 5 pages)

Important Dates:
Paper and CV submission: papers must arrive by  March 12
Acceptance/rejection Notification:              March 26
Camera-ready paper:                             April 21
