(SEAL'06)
15-18 October 2006, Hefei, Anhui, China
Hosted and Sponsored by

AIMS AND SCOPES
---------------
Evolution and learning are two fundamental forms of adaptation. SEAL'06
is the sixth 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-fertilisation between
evolutionarylearning 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 optimisation by
evolutionary and other nature inspired approaches. The topics of
interest to this conference include but are not limited to the
following:
1. Evolutionary Learning
Fundamental Issues in Evolutionary Learning Co-Evolutionary
Learning
Modular Evolutionary Learning Systems Classifier
Systems
Representation Issues in Evolutionary Learning Artificial
Immune Systems
Interactions Between Learning and Evolution Credit
Assignment
Swarm Intelligence Collective
Intelligence
Comparison between Evolutionary Learning and Other Learning
Approaches,
2. Evolutionary Optimisation
Combinatorial Optimisation
Numerical/Function Optimisation
(e.g., scheduling, allocation, planning, Hybrid
Optimisation Algorithms
packing, transportation, etc.) Comparison of
Algorithms
Nature-Inspired Algorithms (ant colony optimisation, particle swarm
optimisation, memetic algorithms, simulated annealing, ...)
3. Hybrid Learning
Evolutionary Artificial Neural Networks Evolutionary Fuzzy Systems
Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning Evolutionary Clustering
Evolutionary Decision Tree Learning Evolutionary Unsupervised
Learning
Genetic Programming Other Hybrid Learning
Systems
Developmental Processes
4. Adaptive Systems
Complexity in Adaptive Systems Evolutionary Robotics
Evolvable Hardware and Software Artificial Ecology
Evolutionary Games Self-Repairing Systems
Evolutionary Computation Techniques in Economics, Finance and Marketing
5. Theoretical Issues in Evolutionary Computation
Convergence and Convergence Rate of Evolutionary Algorithms
Computational Complexity of Evolutionary Algorithms Self-Adaptation in
Evolutionary Algorithms
6. Real-World Applications of Evolutionary Computation Techniques

PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------
All manuscripts must be prepared in LaTeX according to Springer's
llncs style (URL: http://www.springeronline.com/lncs). It is absolutely
essential that you follow the instructions there. Each submitted paper
must include a title, an abstract, a list of keywords, the names and
addresses of all authors (including email addresses), and the body.
The length of submitted papers must be no more
than 8 single-spaced, single-column pages including all figures, tables
and bibliography. Shorter papers are strongly encouraged.
All papers must be submitted electronically via the conference website.
Papers submitted via other means will not be considered.
PUBLICATIONS
------------
All accepted papers which are presented at the conference will be
included in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in their
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The best papers will be
invited to further revise and extend their work to one of the following
prestigious journal special issues:
Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines (Springer), Connection
Science
(Taylor and Francis), International Journal of Computational
Intelligence
and Applications (World Scientific), and Journal of Computer Science and
Technology (Springer and China Computer Federation).
SPECIAL SESSIONS AND TUTORIALS
------------------------------
Special sessions and tutorials will be organised at the conference. The
conference is calling for special session and tutorial proposals.
The tutorials will be offered on 15 October 2006 (subject to sufficient
number of registrations).
