> > A Special Session at the 2000 Conference on Evolutionary Computation
> > La Jolla, California, 16-19 July 2000
> >
>SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to: 14 February 2000
>
> > This session will be about the use of biologically-inspired computing
> > techniques for the modelling and understanding of information ecosystems.
> > Relevant techniques include evolutionary computation, but also
> > ecosystem-inspired and Artificial Life models, and software agent systems.
> > Evolutionary computation can be of substantial use in modelling and
> > understanding complex information environments, by enabling adaptation and
> > selection under changing circumstances, and by combination with other
> > techniques such as multi-agent systems. Such implementations of
> > information ecosystems should be useful for a range of applications
> > including data mining and other aspects of information management.
> >
> > Papers are sought in all areas relating to the modelling and understanding
> > of information ecosystems, particularly where evolutionary computation,
> > software agents and Artificial Life models are used. Papers are also
> > welcome which demonstrate insights into evolutionary computational
> > techniques arising from their application to questions in information
> > ecosystems, or which describe applications which make use of information
> > ecosystem concepts.
