• ABSOLUTE RECOMMENDATION OF PAPER: Based on your opinion of what should and should not be accepted at this workshop on evolutionary computing. The values of all reviews of the paper will be averaged. The average value will then be directly used for the paper ranking. Based on this paper ranking, the decision for rejection/poster/paper will be derived. The values will be interpreted as follows:
  • 1 - not ready for publication, resubmit when research has significantly progressed
  • 2 - needs major revision and then a rereview
  • 3 - needs a minor revision and then a rereview
  • 4 - needs a minor revision, but no rereview
  • 5 - accept as-is for publication
