GECCO-2001 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION FORM As in 2000, joining the International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation can provide you substantial savings on both GECCO-2001 conference registration and on subscriptions to two journals: 1) Evolutionary Computation, and 2) Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines. Please note that you can also join ISGEC without attending GECCO. The Journal subscriptions are effective January 1, 2002 -- if you already subscribe to either of these journals, your subscription(s) will be automatically renewed for 2002 with your ISGEC membership dues. *************************************************************************** Please complete and email or fax back (1-650-321-4457) (if paying by credit card); if paying by check, please mail to this address: GECCO 2001 c/o American Association for Artificial Intelligence 445 Burgess Drive Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA *************************************************************************** Registrant Personal Data Name: _____________________ Affiliation:________________________ Address: _________________________ City ________________ State/Prov. _____ Post/Zip Code ______ Country_______ Daytime Phone: _________ Fax Number:_________ E-mail Address: ______________________ ******************** Registration Options ******************** (GECCO registrants receive 4 printed volumes: Proceedings, Tutorial Notes, Workshops, and Late-Breaking Papers; admission to all workshops on Saturday, July 7, and to a tutorial in each of four timeslots on Sunday, July 8, and at all sessions Mon-Wed, July 9-11; free refreshments at morning and afternoon breaks; and one admission and drink ticket each for the Opening Reception, Sunday, July 8 and the Poster Reception, Tuesday, July 10.
