This page contains links to formatting instructions and templates for final, "camera-ready" versions of papers accepted for publication in the GECCO-2001 proceedings.
Instructions for formatting submissions for review are available at the "SUBMITTING PAPERS" page of the GECCO-2001 web site. It is acceptable to use the "camera-ready" format for papers submitted for review as long as you are careful to properly "anonymize" your paper for double blind review:
This year the review process is "double blind," meaning that reviewers should not be able to infer the identities of the authors of the papers that they are reviewing (and of course that authors will not know the identities of their reviewers). Author names and affiliations must not appear on the normal "page 1" of submitted papers, but should appear instead on a separate first page to be removed by AAAI for the blind review process. Authors should also be careful to avoid identifying information in headers, footers, etc., and should delete their names from citations to papers that were obviously written by the same authors. Of course no such "anonymizing" process is foolproof, but authors are encouraged to do their best to insure the integrity of the double blind review process. Note that AAAI will not be able to remove names/affiliations after papers are submitted; this is the responsibility of the authors.
