Aim and Scopes
--------------
Evolution and learning are two fundamental forms of adaptation. SEAL'2012
is the ninth biennial conference in the highly successful series that aims
at exploring these two forms of adaptation and their roles and interactions
in adaptive systems. Cross-fertilization between evolutionary learning and
other machine learning approaches, such as neural network learning,
reinforcement learning, decision tree learning, fuzzy system learning,
etc., will be strongly encouraged by the conference. The other major theme
of the conference is optimization by evolutionary approaches or hybrid
evolutionary approaches. The topics of interest to this conference include
but are not limited to the following: Evolutionary Learning; Evolutionary
Optimization; Hybrid Learning; Adaptive Systems; Theoretical Issues in
Evolutionary Computation; Real-World Applications of Evolutionary
Computation Techniques.
