GECCO-99 1999 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference July 13-17 (Tuesday-Saturday) 1999 Omni Rosen Hotel, Orlando, Florida USA http://www-illigal.ge.uiuc.edu/gecco/ gecco@aaai.org March 3, 1999 Dear GECCO-99 Author: Congratulations! We are happy to inform you that your paper has been accepted for poster presentation at GECCO-99. Approximately 450 papers were submitted to the GECCO-99 technical program. Poster one-page papers will be published in the GECCO conference proceedings and will be presented at a lively poster session on Thursday evening, July 15, 1999 together with the late-breaking papers. Speaking of which, late-breaking papers may be submitted for full-length publication in a late-breaking papers volume that will be distributed to ALL GECCO-99 attendees. Deadline for late-breaking papers submission is June 10, 1999 (see the Call for Late-Breaking Papers on the conference web site, http://www-illigal.ge.uiuc.edu/gecco/). Please note that publication of your paper as a poster does not limit your ability to submit the full-sized work to other conferences or journals in the future. Attached are comments from the reviewers, which we hope will help you to make your poster even better. Formatting instructions for the final version of your one-page poster paper are attached below. Please read the instructions very carefully. To lower production costs, this year papers should be delivered electronically to an ftp site run by ProBook in Colorado no later than Wednesday, April 7, 1999. Some deadlines are soft. This one is not. After the deadline, ProBook will close the ftp site to further deliveries. To complete your final poster paper delivery, please complete the following checklist before Wednesday, April 7, 1999: [ ] Read reviewer remarks and revise paper to allotted length. Poster papers (one-page papers) must be EXACTLY one page. [ ] Deliver paper electronically to PROBOOK ftp site (ftp.sni.net) per instructions. DO NOT SEND PAPERS TO AAAI IN CALIFORNIA. If your paper cannot be delivered electronically, send the paper by express mail service to PROBOOK, 2050 South St. Paul Street, Denver, Colorado 80210 USA to arrive no later than Wednesday, April 7, 1999. [ ] Send Permission-to-Publish form by fax (or express mail) to PROBOOK in Colorado (fax: 303-756-5374). DO NOT SEND TO AAAI.

DO NOT SEND AV FORMS TO PROBOOK. [ ] Register at least one author with AAAI in Menlo Park. DO NOT SEND REGISTRATION FORMS TO PROBOOK.

Registration forms may be mailed or faxed to AAAI to secure your place at the conference (and to secure your paper's place in the proceedings). Authors are reminded (as advertised in the call for papers) that "by submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if their paper is accepted they will submit a final revised camera-ready version and register at least one author by the deadline for camera-ready papers and that at least one author will attend and present each accepted paper at the conference." The deadline for student travel grants is March 31, 1999. The special GECCO-99 rates at the conference hotel have a deadline of June 15, 1999.
