                              2nd Call for Papers
                               EvoIntelligence 1
             Nature Inspired Methods for Intelligent Systems


EvoIntelligence is devoted to the use of nature inspired methods
to create intelligent systems. The goal of this event is to bring
researchers from a variety of different areas together who all want
to create intelligent systems. Researchers working in Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or other related areas are
invited to submit their latest work. We invite submissions on different
areas such as Evolutionary Robotics, Artificial Life or other related areas.
Intelligent systems do not necessarily have to exhibit human or animal-like
intelligence. Intelligent behavior can also be found in everyday devices
such as a VCR or handheld devices such as a MP3-Player which learn
from the human who is operating the device.
Nature inspired methods include all aspects of evolutionary
computation, e.g. genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, genetic
programming, ant algorithms, or particle swarm systems. Learning
from biological systems on how to solve a problem also qualifies as
a nature inspired method. Examples of such systems are bio-inspired
systems or bionic systems.

Accepted papers will be published in a volume of the Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science together with papers from other events
of the EvoStar conference.

High quality papers are sought on topics related to intelligent systems
using nature inspired methods, ranging from theoretical work to
innovative applications in the context of

     * Evolutionary Robotics
     * Artificial Life
     * Intelligent Devices
     * Intelligent Language Systems
     * Bionic Systems
     * Learning Systems
     * Intelligent Behavior
     * Intelligent Agents

Important dates:

- Submission deadline:            4 November 2009
- Notification of acceptance:  early January 2010
- Camera-ready manuscript:      late January 2010
- EvoIntelligence:                 7-9 April 2010

Submission requirements:

- Submissions (no longer than 10 pages) must be made through the
  conference management software.
  (http://myreview.csregistry.org/evoworkshops10/)
- Since the review process is double-blind the paper must not contain
  any references that would identify the authors.
- The submitted material has to be substantially new research which
  has not been published previously.
- The paper has to be formatted according to LNCS style guidelines.
  (See ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip)
- By submitting a paper, the authors agree that, if their paper is
  accepted, they will prepare a camera-ready version in accordance with
  the   changes requested by the reviewers by the deadline for camera-ready
  papers. They also agree that at least one author will register for the
  conference no later than the early registration deadline if their paper
is
  accepted and at least one author will attend the conference and present
  the paper.
