Abstract
The papers in this two volume proceedings are
presented at the 7th Annual Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation COnference (GECCO-2005), held in
Washington, D.C., June 25-29, 2005.This year is an
exceptional one for the GECCO conference series. First,
the International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary
Computation (ISGEC) which has always been GECCO's
sponsor has changed to become a Special Interest Group
of the ACM named SIGEVO. Being part of ACM reflects the
evolution and integration of our very successful
discipline into the main stream of computer science. As
a consequence, the GECCO-2005 proceedings are an ACM
publication and they are incorporated into the ACM
Digital Library. This guarantees an even broader
dissemination of Darwinian and other nature-inspired
computation methods.Second, we had 549 regular paper
submissions representing the absolute record of all
conferences emphasising the field of evolutionary
computation. Paper reviewing has been done by double
blind assignment. On average each paper was evaluated
by five independent reviewers. Finally, 253 paper
(46.1%) have been accepted as full (max. 8 pages)
papers. Additionally, 120 submissions were accepted as
posters.A goal of GECCO is to encourage new areas and
paradigms of evolutionary computation to gather
momentum and flourish. This is accomplished by the
establishment of new independent tracks each year. This
year, as a result of a recombinative and creative
process, GECCO-2005 comprises 16 tracks consisting of
core tracks ("C"), tracks previously in GECCOs
("P"), not yet belonging to the core track family),
"recombined" tracks from GECCO 2004 ("R"), and
newly created tracks ("N"):.
