ALEA'09 Thematic Track on Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms
http://epia2009.web.ua.pt/alea/
a track of EPIA'2009 - Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
http://epia2009.appia.pt/

October 12-15, 2009
Aveiro, Portugal
---------------------------

ALEA'09 track is specifically dedicated both to the theory and  
application of Artificial Life (ALife) and Evolutionary Algorithms  
(EA).  This thematic track is a good opportunity to gather researchers  
to present their latest research and to discuss current developments  
and applications. The format of the meeting will be designed to  
stimulate close interaction between members of these scientific  
communities. ALEA’09 has the purpose of thriving to develop this  
research area in Portugal, through discussion among researchers and  
outstanding international scientists.

The thematic track will consist of an invited talk, oral  
presentations, panel, demosntration session (approval pending) and  
poster sessions and ample time for organised discussion. The best  
accepted papers (the number is decided by APPIA Chairs) will appear in  
the proceedings published by Springer in the LNAI series. The  
remaining accepted papers and posters will be published in a local  
edition, both in hardcopy, CD-ROM and on the web.

General topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Genetic Algorithms
• Evolutionary Strategies
• Evolutionary Programming
• Genetic Programming
• Classifier Systems
• Evolutionary Robotics
• Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms
• Evolution Dynamics
• Artificial Immune Systems
• Ant Algorithms
• Cultural Algorithms
• Swarm Algorithms
• Evolutionary Social Systems
• Systems with emergent properties
