Scope:
In the last two years, CEF has consecutively hosted special sessions
on Evolutionary Computation in Economics and Finance (ECEF). This series
of events aims at bringing together economists to explore current
development of evolutionary computation (EC) in economic and financial
modeling, simulation and computation. These special sessions, along
with many similar events have revealed some promising features of EC
in the study of option pricing, time series modeling, economic forecasting,
trading strategies, oligopoly games, bargaining behavior, economic
experiments, and artificial financial markets. Through these applications,
EC tools such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary
programming, evolutionary strategies and evolutionary artificial neural
nets have been introduced to a larger circle of economists, and also
provides us with a better opportunity to reflect upon the chances which
we may have from these tools.
As a continuation of this learning process, this year we will organize
special sessions on the 7th SCE conference at Yale University. Papers
addressing novel applications of EC techniques to economics, game theory
and finance, and methodologies are cordially solicited. Authors wishing
to present a paper should submit a 4-page extended abstract or a full
paper via the conference webpage,
http://gemini.econ.yale.edu/conference/SCE2001
The conference Web site will begin accepting submissions on January 1,
2001, and will continue to accept submissions through March 1, 2001.
To expedite the screening process, a menu is provided on the webpages
allowing precategorization of submissions. Authors are advised to
indicate the program committee member by whom the submission is to be
considered. For example, to have a paper included in the sessions on
``Evolutionary Computation in Economics and Finance'', one should choose
Berc Rustem as the conference program committee member by whom the
submission is to be considered.
