===================================================================


The Biennial International Conference on Artificial Evolution (EA-2017) will celebrate its 13th anniversary from 25 to 27 October 2017 in Paris, France.
Two side events will take place before and during the conference.

 ----
Topics of interest

Authors are invited to submit original papers related, but not limited to:

Evolutionary computation, evolutionary optimization, coevolution, natural computing, soft computing.
-  Artificial Life, population dynamics.
- Theory, algorithm design and evaluation, implementations, parallelizations.
- Application of evolutionary paradigms to the real world (biosciences, industry, socio-economic sciences etc).
- Biologically-inspired metaheuristics (swarm intelligence, artificial ants, artificial immune systems, cultural algorithms, etc).
- Memetic algorithms, multi-objective optimization, interactive optimization, constraint handling, dynamic optimization, etc.
- Hybridization with other soft computing techniques like machine Learning or fuzzy logic.
- Evolutionary robotics, education, visualization, interactive design and artistic applications.

The 2017 EA conference will continue the tradition which has been progressively established during its previous editions:

Quality: With a rigorous selection by a high profile International Program Committee, the selected papers (12 pages, LNCS format) are planned to be published by Springer (as for the previous editions, cf. Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science 1063, 1363, 1829, 2310, 2936, 3871, 4926, 5975, 7401, 9554).

Depth: The single session formula of 30mn presentations eases fruitful exchanges between authors and participants.

Best value: As a non-profit conference, only minimal conference fees are required to cover conference facilities, conference proceedings, lunches, coffee breaks, a social event and the conference banquet dinner.
