[Artificial Intelligence Group] EvoCompetitions - Call for Competitions proposals at EvoStar 2010

EvoCompetitions 2010 - Call for Competitions proposals
---
For the first time, EvoStar (www.evostar.org) is inviting proposals
for competitions relevant to the topics of the EvoStar events.
These are competitions that would be open to anyone attending the
EvoStar events on 7 - 9 April 2010 in Istanbul.

Nominal prizes would be awarded at the EvoStar closing ceremony on
9 April 2010, but the main purpose is for winners to obtain
recognition by the EvoStar community.

Competition organisers should prepare a proposal to include:

* description of the problem addressed
* description of the data and a web link for downloads
* evaluation procedures and established baselines
* an estimation of the number of participants
* the specific EvoStar event or events the competition is
relevant to
* possible sources of sponsorship, if any
* short bios of the proposers, including experience in similar
events

Please submit your proposals to the EvoCompetitions Chair

Anna I Esparcia-Alcázar, ITI, Spain
anna@iti.upv.es

on or before the deadline of **1st December 2009**.

Competitions will be published on the EvoStar website, www.evostar.org, as soon as they are approved.
