EVOLVING INFORMATION ECOSYSTEMS > 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. > > For more information: > > Special Session on Evolving Information Ecosystems home page > (http://www.labs.bt.com/people/marrowp/cec2000/eie.htm) > CEC2000 home page (http://pcgipseca.cee.hw.ac.uk/cec2000/) > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Paul Marrow ([log in to unmask]) > > BT Complex Systems Laboratory > Admin 2/5, Adastral Park > Martlesham Heath > Ipswich IP5 3RE > United Kingdom > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
