FOGA is the premier event on the theoretical foundations of all kinds of evolutionary computation techniques includ- ing (but not limited to) evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimization, and particle swarm optimization. Accepted papers will be published in a post-conference proceedings by ACM Press. The goal of FOGA 2013 is to advance the theoretical understanding of evolutionary computing techniques and to promote theoretical work to the wider community. A suc- cessful exchange between theory and practice on evolution- ary computation is very desirable and so we encourage sub- missions bridging theory and practice. In addition to strict mathematical investigations, experimental studies increas- ing the theoretical foundations of evolutionary computation methods are very welcome. Topics include (but are not lim- ited to): fitness landscapes and problem difficulty, popula- tion dynamics, runtime analysis, self-adaptation, single- and multi-objective problems, statistical approaches, stochastic and dynamic environments, and working principles of evolutionary computing techniques in gen- eral. Submission: Authors should submit their papers (12 page maximum) consistent with the FOGA style file which can be found at the conference web-site. To ensure the reviews are double-blind, authors are asked to remove references to themselves from their paper. Authors should follow the instructions on the conference website when submitting their papers. Preliminary versions of the accepted papers will be distributed to participants at FOGA. Authors of papers presented at the FOGA workshop will be asked to contribute final versions of their papers as part of the post- conference proceedings published by ACM.

Description: We invite submissions to the Foundationsof Genetic Algorithms (FOGA) 2013 workshop which willbe held from January 16-20, 2013, in Adelaide, Australia.FOGA is the premier event on the theoretical foundationsof all kinds of evolutionary computation techniques includ-ing (but not limited to) evolutionary algorithms, ant colonyoptimization, and particle swarm optimization. Acceptedpapers will be published in a post-conference proceedings byACM Press.

The goal of FOGA 2013 is to advance the theoreticalunderstanding of evolutionary computing techniques and topromote theoretical work to the wider community. A suc-cessful exchange between theory and practice on evolution-ary computation is very desirable and so we encourage sub-missions bridging theory and practice. In addition to strictmathematical investigations, experimental studies increas-ing the theoretical foundations of evolutionary computationmethods are very welcome. Topics include (but are not lim-ited to): fitness landscapes and problem difficulty, popula-tion dynamics, runtime analysis, self-adaptation, single- andmulti-objective problems, statistical approaches, stochasticand dynamic environments, and working principles of evolutionary computing techniques in gen-eral.Submission: Authors should submit their papers (12 page maximum) consistent with the FOGAstyle file which can be found at the conference web-site. To ensure the reviews are double-blind,authors are asked to remove references to themselves from their paper. Authors should follow theinstructions on the conference website when submitting their papers. Preliminary versions of theaccepted papers will be distributed to participants at FOGA. Authors of papers presented at theFOGA workshop will be asked to contribute final versions of their papers as part of the post-conference proceedings published by ACM.

Important Dates:Submission deadline: August 1, 2012Notification to authors: October 15, 2012Pre-proceedings deadline: December 1, 2012FOGA 2013: January 16-20, 2013Post conference proceedings deadline: February 28, 2013
