Nominated for Best Paper Awards
In
2002, ISGEC created a best paper award for GECCO. As part of the double
blind peer review, the reviewers were asked to nominate papers for best
paper awards. We continue this tradition at GECCO-2006. The Track Chairs,
Editor in Chief, and the Conference Chair nominated the papers that
received the most nominations and/or the highest evaluation scores for
consideration by the conference. The winners are chosen by secret ballot
of the GECCO attendees after the papers have been orally presented at
the conference. The titles and authors of all papers nominated as well
as the page numbers where to find them in the Proceedings are given
below:
