INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------=
EvoMUSART 2006 is the fourth workshop of the EvoNet working group
on Evolutionary Music and Art. Following the success of previous
events and the growth of interest in the field, the main goal of
EvoMUSART 2006 is to bring together researchers who are using
Evolutionary Computation for artistic tasks, providing the
opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area.

The workshop will be held from 10-12 April, 2006 in Budapest, 
Hungary, as part of the EuroGP&EvoCOP2006 event.

Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and
included in the EuroGP2006 conference proceedings, published by
Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

This year, the exhibition component of the workshop is entitled
=93Process Revealed=94, and focuses on the disclosure and explanation
of the processes involved in artistic creation. =93Process
revealed=94 considers the generative, the algorithmic and the
evolved in relation to analytical, performative possibilities.
The submission of works for =93Process Revealed=94 is independent
from the submission of papers.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
----------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
The papers should include original and unpublished contributions
related to the use of EC in the scope of the analysis, generation
and interpretation of art and music. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

- Generation
	o Evolutionary Art =96 Systems that create drawings, images,
	animations, sculptures, poetry, text, etc.;
	o Evolutionary Music =96 Systems that create musical pieces,
	sounds, instruments, voices, etc.;
	o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music;

- Analysis and Interpretation
	o Systems that resort to EC to perform the analysis of image,
	music, sound sculpture, or some other types of artistic object;
	o Systems in which the analysis of artworks is used in
	conjunction with EC techniques to produce novel objects;

- Computer Aided Creativity
	o Systems in which EC is used to promote the creativity of a
	human user;
	o New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;
	o Collaborative distributed environments;

- Theory
	o Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area;
	identification of weaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis
	and classification;
	o Validation methodologies;
	o New models designed to promote the creative potential of EC;
	o Aesthetics, emotional response;
	o Studies on the applicability of these techniques to other
	creativity-related areas;
