Welcome

Welcome to Washington D.C. and GECCO-05.
On January 1, 2005, the former International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation became the
Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (ACM
SIGEVO www.sigevo.org). We welcome this transition because of the many advantages ACM affiliation brings. In
particular, inclusion of the GECCO 2005 proceedings in the ACM Digital Library will increase the profile of GECCO
publications and their authors.
Greet old friends and meet new ones at the Opening Reception on Sunday, 18:30 – 19:30 in the Grand Ballroom. The
reception is free to all registered GECCO attendees. Remember to bring your badge and the drink ticket included
with your registration package. Your badge is your admission ticket. An assortment of hot and cold appetizers, wine,and soft drinks will be served. Redeem your drink ticket at the reception.
Plan to attend the plenary sessions with our Keynote Speakers. Professor Drew Endy will introduce us to synthetic
biology - an engineering approach realized with wetware. Dr. Joshua M. Epstein will discuss social systems.
(Monday and Tuesday, 8:00 to 10:00 in the Grand Ballroom)
Results of a survey of the Evolutionary Computation community will be presented during a lunch session, on
Tuesday in the Grand Ballroom. The survey was designed to help the community understand trends in our field, andhelp Evolutionary Computation graduates find jobs in the community.

Instructions for Technical Session Presenters
Speakers in the technical sessions are allocated 30 minutes for each presentation.
Speakers in the Late Breaking Papers sessions are allocated 15 minutes for each presentation. The lastscheduled speaker in an LBP session is asked to chair the session.
Speakers in Tuesday’s Evolutionary Computing in Practice (ECP) session during lunch are allocated 20
minutes for each presentation.
Allotted presentation time includes equipment set up, presentation, and questions period.
Poster presenters may set up their posters on Tuesday from 14:00 to 17:00.
If a session is without a chair, we ask the last scheduled speaker to perform those duties.

Instructions for Session Chairs
Keep the session on schedule:
Please adhere to the scheduled order of talks, as well as presentation times. If a speaker is absent, we ask
you to announce a short break until the next presentation is due to start. Do not start early, as
participants may be moving between sessions/presentations.
Introduce each speaker
Moderate questions
Arrive a few minutes early to check on room and equipment set-up. Please let conference organizers
know immediately if problems arise or adjustments are needed.

Monday Keynote: Dr. Joshua M. Epstein, Brookings Institution, USA

Generative Social Science: Applications of Agent-Based Computational Modeling
Agent-based modeling is expanding rapidly in fields as diverse as economics, epidemiology, archaeology, andpolitical science.
The approach is fundamentally changing the very notion of an explanation in the social sciences: from a "top down"
Nash equilibrium rational choice concept to a "bottom up" one in which one generates social phenomena of interest in
distributed populations of locally interacting agents. Epstein will present applications to smallpox containment, civil
violence, and organizational adaptation.
Biography
Joshua M. Epstein is a Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, a member of the BrookingsJohns Hopkins Joint Center on Social and Economic Dynamics, and a member of the External Faculty of the Santa Fe
Institute.
He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from MIT and is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences. He is also amember of the Editorial Boards of the journal Complexity, and of the Princeton University Press Studies in Complexity
book series.
His primary research interest is in the modeling of complex social, economic, and biological systems using agentbased computational models and nonlinear dynamical systems. He has taught computational and mathematicalmodeling at Princeton and the Santa Fe Institute Summer School.
He has published widely in the modeling area, including recent articles on the dynamics of civil violence, thedemography of the Anasazi (both in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) and the epidemiology ofsmallpox (in the American Journal of Epidemiology). His two most recent books are: Growing Artificial Societies: Social
Science from the Bottom Up, with co-author Robert Axtell, (MIT Press, 1996); and Nonlinear Dynamics, Mathematical
Biology, and Social Science (Addison-Wesley/Santa Fe Institute, 1997). His book, Generative Social Science: Studies inAgent-Based Computational Modeling, is forthcoming from Princeton University Press.

Tuesday Keynote: Professor Drew Endy, Biological Engineering Division, MIT, USA

Engineering Biological Systems
Biology is going through a fundamental transition – from preexisting, natural, and evolving systems, to synthetic,engineered, and disposable systems.
Here, I will discuss (i) our ‘refactoring’ of a natural biological system, bacteriophage T7, (ii) the adaptation andapplication of three past lessons – standardization, abstraction, and decoupling – that seem relevant to theengineering of biology today, (iii) how solving the problems of error detection and correction in reproducing
machines might lead to interesting compromises in system architecture, and (iv) some of the social, political, and risk
opportunities and pitfalls worth considering as we begin to systematically engineer the living world.
Biography
Drew Endy (http://mit.edu/endy/) studied civil, environmental, and biochemical engineering at Lehigh University
and Thayer School, Dartmouth College.
From 1998 through 2001 he helped to start the Molecular Sciences Institute, an independent not-for-profit biologicalresearch lab in Berkeley, CA. In 2002, he started a group as a fellow in the Department of Biology and the BiologicalEngineering Division at MIT; he joined the MIT faculty in 2004. Endy co-founded the MIT Synthetic Biology working
group and the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, and organized the First International Conference on Synthetic
Biology.
Endy and colleagues taught the 2003 and 2004 MIT Synthetic Biology labs organized the 2004 Synthetic Biology
competition, a five-school course that enabled students to work together to design and build engineered biologicalsystems, and are now organizing the 2005 Intercollegiate Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition.
Endy's research focuses on the engineering of integrated biological systems and error detection in reproducing
machines.

Competitions
Competition winners will be announced on Wednesday during the plenary session, 8:30 – 10:00, in the Grand
Ballroom.
The winner of each competition receives a certificate and a small cash prize. In the event that a competition has fewer
than three entrants by the closing date, the competition will be cancelled.
Physical Traveling Salesperson Problem (PTSP)
The challenge of the PTSP competition is to minimize the number of time steps taken tovisit all the cities in the competition map.
The objective now is to minimize the number of time steps taken to visit all the cities.
The winning criteria for the this competition are:Must visit all cities
Minimum number of vectors used (= string length)
Minimum number of non-zero forces used
Time submitted (given solutions of equal quality, the earliest submission wins)
Developmental Systems
The challenge of this competition is to provide a novel demonstration of an evolved developmental system. The
demonstration should consist of a 2 minute video or software run showing your system grow an interesting artifact.
Entrants attend the SEEDS Workshop and make a short presentation and demonstration of their system. Judging will
be done subjectively by an expert panel, and the workshop audience.
The main judging criteria are as follows:
Novelty
Mathematical elegance and simplicity
New formalism
Regenerative ability (damage repair)
Biological plausibility (not essential)
Lifecycle (can your system grow seeds for the next generation..)Applications (does it solve some problem better than a non-developmental system?)Artistic merit - wow factor
Emergence
Evolvability

Evolutionary Computation in Practice
For the past three years, GECCO included a track on Evolutionary Computation in Industry (ECI), which contained
presentations useful to managers, technology scouts, and other individuals interested in assessing the potentials of
evolutionary algorithms to solve their industrial problems.
This year, the track is renamed as Evolutionary Computation in Practice (ECP) to reflect the change that ourpresentations have been extended to include military applications and topics related to technology transfer fromacademia to industry.
Results of a survey of the Evolutionary Computation community will be presented during the ECP lunch session on
Tuesday, in the Grand Ballroom.

Hummies
Prizes Totaling $10,000 to be Awarded for Human-Competitive Results
Techniques of genetic and evolutionary computation are being
increasingly applied to difficult real-world problems—often
yielding results that are not merely interesting and impressive,
but competitive with the work of creative and inventive humans.
At the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference(GECCO) in Seattle, June 2004, $5,000 in awards for humancompetitive results were given for six human-competitive results
produced by some form of genetic and evolutionary
computation in the previous year.
This year, in a special technical session, Hummie finalists will
give short oral presentations about human-competitive resultsthat they have produced by any form of genetic andevolutionary computation (e.g., genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, evolutionary
programming, learning classifier systems, grammatical evolution, etc.).
An automatically created result is “human-competitive” if it satisfies at least one of the eight criteria below.
The result was patented as an invention in the past, is an improvement over a patented invention, or
would qualify today as a patentable new invention.
The result is equal to or better than a result that was accepted as a new scientific result at the time when it
was published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
The result is equal to or better than a result that was placed into a database or archive of results
maintained by an internationally recognized panel of scientific experts.
The result is publishable in its own right as a new scientific result independent of the fact that the result
was mechanically created.
The result is equal to or better than the most recent human-created solution to a long-standing problem
for which there has been a succession of increasingly better human-created solutions.
The result is equal to or better than a result that was considered an achievement in its field at the time it
was first discovered.
The result solves a problem of indisputable difficulty in its field.
The result holds its own or wins a regulated competition involving human contestants (in the form ofeither live human players or human-written computer programs).
The 2005 judging committee includes:
Wolfgang Banzhaf (Editor-in-Chief of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Hardware journal)
David Goldberg (past chair of International Society of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)
Erik Goodman (chair of SIGEVO)
Riccardo Poli (GECCO-2004 Chair)
Una-May O’Reilly (GECCO-2005 Chair)
Every new result deemed by the committee to be human-competitive for the past year will get some cash award. The
presentation session (HUMMIES) takes place on Tuesday, 10:15-12:15, in the Grand Ballroom. The judging committee
will award prizes during Wednesday’s plenary session (8:00-10:00 in the Grand Ballroom)Award prizes are sponsored by Third Millennium On-Line Products Inc.
