About the journal
The IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (TEC) is publishing archival journal quality original papers in evolutionary computation and related areas, with particular emphasis on the practical application of the techniques to solving real problems in industry, medicine, and other disciplines. Specific techniques include but are not limited to evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, genetic algorithms, and associated methods of genetic programming and classifier systems. Papers emphasizing mathematical results should ideally seek to put these results in the context of algorithm design, however purely theoretical papers will be considered. Other papers in the areas of cultural algorithms, artificial life, molecular computing, evolvable hardware, and the use of simulated evolution to gain a better understanding of naturally evolved systems are also encouraged.
Instructions to Authors
Types of Contributions
TEC publishes three types of articles: papers, brief papers, and letters. Review management is primarily under the direction of an associate editor, who will solicit reviews for each submission. The associate editor will ordinarily make a recommendation after receiving three reviews (two for letters). To avoid delays in processing your paper, please follow these guidelines.
Submission of Manuscripts
All correspondence concerning submissions is between the author and the Editor-in-Chief. Submit six (6) copies of your manuscript to:

Do not send originals of illustrations, figures, and photographs unless you do not need them returned. Enclose a separate signed letter that indicates the address, including phone, fax, and electronic mail, of the corresponding author. This Transactions is primarily devoted to archival reports of work that have not been -- in the main -- published elsewhere. Specifically, conference records and book chapters that have been published previously are not acceptable unless and until they have been significantly enhanced. In special circumstances or on exceptional occasions, the editor may deem a contribution noteworthy enough to be exempted from this policy. Your letter should state that the work being submitted has not been published elsewhere nor is it currently under review by another publication.
Style for Manuscript
The TEC follows the format standards of the IEEE. The booklet "Information for IEEE Transactions and Journals Authors" is available on request from the IEEE Transactions/Journals Department, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, or email trans@ieee.org or fax 732-562-0545. A list of 2-5 keywords are required for all manuscripts. Double space and number all pages, use one side only. Use a font size that is no smaller than 10 pt. Provide an abstract of 100-200 words that is an informative summary of the paper, including any important results found or conclusions drawn. Authors are encouraged to put detailed derivations in appendixes. Papers longer than 50 typewritten pages will be considered only if the author can justify this length in the transmission letter. The authors are encouraged to suggest a publication category for their paper, but this may be changed by the editor-in-chief as deemed appropriate.
Page Charges
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author's company or institution will be requested to pay a charge of $110 per printed page to cover part of the cost of publication. Page charges for this Transactions, like those for journals of other professional societies, are not obligatory, nor is their payment a prerequisite for publication. The author will receive 100 free reprints without covers if the page charge is honored. Detailed instructions accompany the proofs.
Copyright
It is the policy of the IEEE to own copyright to the technical contributions it publishes. To comply with the IEEE copyright policy, authors are required to sign the IEEE Copyright Transfer From before publication in either the print or electronic medium. The form is provided upon approval of the manuscript. Author must submit a signed copy of this form with their final manuscripts.
Submission of Final Manuscript
Page Numbers
Number all pages, including illustrations (which should be grouped at the end), in a single series, with no omitted numbers. Figures should be identified with the figure number and author's name at the bottom or on the back; keep the information in the margin, off the body of the figure.
References and Captions
Put references on a separate page and provide them in IEEE style. Figure captions should also be on a separate page from references and content. Do not include captions on the illustrations themselves. Figure captions should be sufficiently clear so that the figures can be understood without detailed reference to the accompanying text. Single sentence captions are to be avoided. Axes of graphs should have self-explanatory labels, not just symbols, wherever appropriate.
Illustrations and Photos
Figures and photos should be original proofs and not Xeroxes. Photos must be glossy prints with not screens. Laser prints are not acceptable in place of photos or where gray-scale graphics are involved. All ine drawing and photos should be in black and white, unless specifically requested. Letters should be large enough to be readily legible when the drawing is reduced to two or one-column width -- as much as 4:1 reduction from the original. All materials should be no larger than 22 x 28 cm (8.5 x 11'). Do not incorporate electronic graphics into your paper.
Electronic Form for Final Printing
For the final printed production of the manuscript, the author will need to provide a disk (3.5" or 5.25") and two paper copies of the peer approved version. Please be certain that changes made to your paper are incorporated into your disk version, and include an ASCII version of the file. Note the operating system (DOS, Mac, UNIX, etc.) and the software used on the label of the disk. Check that your files are complete including abstract, text, references, footnotes, biographies, and figures and captions. When possible, include TIF format electronic copy of your figures.
IEEE can process most commercial software programs, but not page layout programs. Do not send postscript files. The preferred programs are TeX, LaTeX, and WordPerfect. (Use standard macros.) An IEEE LaTeX style file can be obtained by email at help@ieee.org or downloaded from the "IEEE Information For Authors" page. A more complete IEEE Authors Electronic Guide can be obtained at help@ieee.org or by fax at 732-562-0545.
