Workshop on Evolutionary Algorithms - Challenges in Theory and Practice
March 29, 2010, Bordeaux, France
http://alea.bordeaux.inria.fr/index.php/component/content/article/34
Deadline for abstract submission: March 15, 2010
Registration deadline: March 26, 2010
Aims and mission
The main goal of the workshop consists in offering a common discussion ground
for the theoretical and practical aspects of evolutionary algorithms. A variety
of theoretical studies on stochastic evolutionary type algorithms are
acknowledged through a series of mathematical developments in parallel with a
new range of specialized metaheuristics. The primary focus lies on discussing
the existing findings, establishing challenging aspects for both communities for
future work and validating recent ideas. The workshop is an extension of the
ALEA working group, gathering researchers working on Advanced Learning
Evolutionary Algorithms
(http://alea.bordeaux.inria.fr/index.php/working-groups).
Registration
No registration fee is charged but participants are asked to register before the
workshop, for organizational purposes, by email at [log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask]
Participation
The program of the event is almost complete. Nevertheless, researchers working
on challenging aspects of evolutionary algorithms are invited to submit a title
(a short abstract outlining the topics of your presentation is appreciated),
since few proposals (2 or 3) can still be included in the schedule.
Please make sure to contact us before mid-March by email at
[log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
Location
The workshop will be held in the Ada Lovelace and C amphitheater, Building A29,
INRIA Bordeaux - Sud-Ouest, 351 cours de la Libération, 33405 Talence cedex.

*******************************************************************************
hosted at The 5th International ICST Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of
Network, Information, and Computing Systems (BIONETICS 2010)
Boston, MA, USA
December 1 - 3, 2010
http://www.bionetics.org/sp/aise.html
Objectives:
As software engineering is requested to answer dynamic, automated, adaptive,
optimal and/or large-scale demands, other computer science disciplines come to
play. Artificial Intelligence is one of them that may bring software engineering
into further height. Conversely, software engineering techniques also play an
important role to alleviate development cost and time of AI techniques as well
as assist in introducing new AI techniques. Such mutually beneficial
characteristics have appeared in the past few decades and still evolved due to
new challenges.
The objective of the special track on Artificial Intelligence and Software
Engineering is to provide a forum for researchers and industry practitioners to
exchange and discuss latest innovative "synergistic" AI and software engineering
techniques/practices. Namely, we are interested in AI solutions to software
engineering challenges, software engineering practices to answer AI obstacles,
and techniques that could benefit these realms bi-directionally.
AI techniques of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Machine Learning (unsupervised and supervised learning)
* Evolutionary Algorithms (e.g. GA, GP, ES)
* Swarm Intelligence
* Simulated Annealing
* Tabu Search
* Probabilistic Reasoning
* Fuzzy Logic
* Neural Networks
* Petri Nets
* Data Mining
* Game Theory
* Time Series Analysis
* Logic and reasoning
* Knowledge representation
* AI planning
Paper Submission Guidelines:
Paper submission instructions will be announced at http://www.bionetics.org/.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer. A selected number of best
papers will be considered for publication in leading journals such as ACM
Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS; http://taas.acm.org/),
Int'l Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS;

Subject: Evolutionary Intelligence: Special Issue on Alan Turing
CALL FOR PAPERS
In 1948 Alan Turing wrote a short paper entitled "Intelligent Machinery" in
which he drew an analogy between learning and search. Significantly, he
suggested that intellectual, genetical and cultural searches may all be used to
inspire mechanisms by which to achieve machine intelligence. 2012 sees the
centenary of Turing's birth and to join in the celebrations of his remarkable
contributions to computer science and artificial intelligence, Evolutionary
Intelligence will publish a special issue in January of that year. Submissions
are welcomed which use simulated evolution in conjunction with other ideas of
Turing's, such as his unorganised machines, to achieve artificial intelligence.
Details of the journal can be found online:
http://www.springer.com/engineering/journal/12065 The deadline for submissions
is Dec 1st 2010. Please see

http://www.mirlabs.org/his10
http://www.mirlabs.net/his10
Paper submission deadline: APRIL 30, 2010
= Conference Objective =
========================
Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern
artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the next
generation of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to the investigations
of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) is the awareness in the academic communities
that combined approaches will be necessary if the remaining tough problems in
artificial/computational intelligence are to be solved. Recently, Hybrid
Intelligent Systems are getting popular due to their capabilities in handling
several real world complexities involving imprecision, uncertainty and
vagueness. HIS'10 builds on the success of last year's HIS'09, which took place
in Shenyang, China, August 12-14, 2009.
HIS'10 is the Tenth International conference that brings together researchers,
developers, practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational
intelligence, agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing
techniques. The aim of HIS'10 is to serve as a forum to present current and
future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.
HIS'10 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that
demonstrate current research using soft computing, computational intelligence
and other intelligent computing techniques and their applications in science,
technology, business and commerce.
= Topics of Interest =
======================
HIS'10 will focus on the following themes:
Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Architectures
- Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems.
- Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques.
- Fuzzy clustering algorithms and optimization techniques.
- Fuzzy inference system optimization using global optimization algorithms.
- Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems - evolutionary
algorithms.
- Hybrid optimization techniques (evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing,
tabu search, GRASP etc.).
- Hybrid of soft computing and statistical learning techniques.
- Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis, grammatical
inference, case-based reasoning etc.
- Autonomic computing.
- Hybridizatiion with novel computing paradigms: Qantum computing, DNA
computing, membrane computing etc.
= Submission Guidelines =
=========================
A full paper (6 pages, A4 size) for oral presentation should be formatted
following the IEEE format. Formating instructions and submisison link can be
found on the HIS 2010 website
http://www.mirlabs.org/his10
http://www.mirlabs.net/his10
Like previous HIS editions, we expect the proceedings to be published IEEEs.
Selected papers will be published in several Journal special issues including
IJHIS - The International Journal of Hybrid Intelligent Systems.

potential uncertainties.
PPSN XI will be a showcase of a wide range of topics in Natural Computing
including, but not restricted to: Evolutionary Computation, Neural Computation,
Molecular Computation, Quantum Computation, Artificial Life, Swarm Intelligence,
Artificial Ant Systems, Artificial Immune Systems, Self-Organizing Systems,
Emergent Behaviors, and Applications to Real-World Problems. PPSN XI will also
feature workshops and tutorials covering advanced and fundamental topics in the
field of natural computation.
All accepted papers will be presented during poster sessions and will be
included in the proceedings. Following the tradition of PPSN, proceedings will
be published in the Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by
Springer. Prospective authors are invited to contribute their high-quality
original results in the field of natural computation as papers of no more than
10 pages. The format should follow Springer Verlag LNCS style,
