(with apologies for cross-posting)

Dear colleague,
   registration opens today for AISB'06, the 2006 convention of the 
Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of 
Behaviour. This year's convention is on the theme 'Adapation in 
Artificial and Biological Systems', and will be hosted at the University 
of Bristol from April 3rd to 6th.
   The programme is broad, comprising 13 symposia on diverse topics 
(listed below). Plenary speakers currently confirmed are:

* James Foster, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Idaho
* Nigel Franks, School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol
* Owen Holland, Department of Computer Science, University of Essex

and we hope to confirm one more international speaker shortly.
   This year AISB is also co-located with the 2006 Workshop on Automated 
Reasoning.
   More details on the convention, the symposia, and registration can be 
found via the convention website:

   We hope to welcome you to Bristol shortly for AISB'06.
   Best wishes,
