Jason Moore of epistasis blog put out by the Dartmouth Computational Genetics Laboratory has posted an announcement for the BioGEC workshop of GECCO-2005:

The fourth annual workshop on Biological Applications of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (BioGEC), organized in connection with the 2005 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2005) in Washington DC, USA, is intended to explore and critically evaluate the application of GEC to biological problems. Specifically, the goal is to bring biologists and computer scientists together to foster an exchange of ideas that will yield emergent properties that will move the field forward in unpredictable ways.In order to facilitate interaction and discussion, the workshop invites papers in the form of commentaries, essays, perspectives, surveys, tutorials, and reviews that focus on ideas for discussion. Details on the call for papers can be found here.

Dozens of other tutorials and workshops are included in the price of admission. Check out the main GECCO website here.
