** CALL FOR PAPERS **
ICARIS 2002
1st International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems
========================================================
http://www.aber.ac.uk/icaris-2002
University of Kent at Canterbury, UK.
September 9th - 11th 2002
Aims and Scope
The field of Artificial Immune Systems is one of the more recent
biologically inspired approaches to emerge from computer science. The
natural immune system is an adaptive learning system that employs
many parallel and complementary mechanisms for defense against foreign
pathogens. It is a distributed system, capable of learning to
identify previously unseen invaders and remembering what it has
learnt. Numerous immune algorithms now exist, based on processes
identified within human immune systems.
These computational techniques have many potential areas in pattern
recognition, fault detection, computer security, optimization and a
variety of other applications.
The aims of this conference are to strengthen this emerging research area by
exploring different immunological mechanisms and their relation to
information processing and problem solving. The workshop will provide
a great opportunity for presenting and disseminating latest work in
the field of Artificial Immune Systems and is the first ever
conference dedicated entirely to the field of AIS.
All papers will be published in conference proceedings. The best papers will
be published in a special issue of the journal 'Genetic Programming
and Evolutionary Machines' http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/1389-2576
in early 2003.
The conference will have two streams:
Technical Stream For work undertaken, with clear results obtained
Conceptual Stream For discussion papers without results, work in progress
papers etc.
