We invite submissions of extended abstracts for the eleventh Foundations of Genetic Algorithms workshop. FOGA is only held every two years and focuses on theoretical foundations of all flavors of evolutionary computation. It will next be held in the Gasthof Hirschen in Schwarzenberg in Austria from Wednesday, January 5 to Sunday January 9, 2011. Prof. Dr. Karl Sigmund has agreed to deliver a keynote lecture. Attendance is limited to people who submitted papers, or those requesting attendance in advance. Students are particularly encouraged to participate.
Submissions should address theoretical issues in evolutionary computation. Papers that consider foundational issues, place analysis in the wider context of theoretical computer science, or focus on bridging the gap between theory and practice are especially welcome. This does not prevent the acceptance of papers that use an experimental approach, but such work should be directed toward validation of suitable hypotheses concerning foundational matters.

| Enquiries and submissions foga@fhv.at |
Extended abstracts should be between 10-12 pages long. To submit, please email a compressed postscript or a PDF file to foga@fhv.at no later than Monday, 5 July 2011. In your email, also include the title of the paper, and the name, address and affiliation of all the authors. Submitted papers should use standard spacing and margins, with 11pt or 12pt font for the main text. Authors using LATEX should either use the standard article style file or the FOGA style file which can be found at the conference web-site. To ensure the reviews are double-blind authors are asked to remove references to themselves from their paper.
Notification will be 13 September 2011 and drafts of the full paper will be needed by 6 December 2010. These drafts will be distributed as part of a preprint to participants at FOGA. Authors of papers presented at the FOGA workshop will be asked to contribute final versions of their papers (based on discussion/feedback at the meeting) as part of the final volume.
