The workshop will include oral sessions, a poster session, and a discussion panel. Two invited talks are scheduled: "Taming the complexity of natural and artificial evolutionary dynamics" by Riccardo Poli, University of Essex (UK), and "Two limitations of current living artifacts and how to overcome them" by Domenico Parisi, ISTC-CNR, Italy. Two tutorials will also be offered: "Organic Computing", by Christian Mueller-Schloer, University of Hannover (Germany) and "Evolutionary Game Theory" by Marco Tomassini, University of Lausanne (Switzerland) Topics of the workshop: - Applications of Bio-inspired Algorithms - Bio-inspired Computational Paradigms - Bio-inspired Robotics - Complex System Biology - Emergent Behaviours - Evolutionary Systems’ Dynamics - Financial/Economical Systems - Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms - Hybrid Optimization Algorithms - Models of Collective Behaviour - Parallel Implementation of Bio-inspired Models - Self-organising Systems - Swarm Intelligence e Artificial Ant Systems - System Biology Early registration deadline: 12 February 2012 Workshop: 20-21 February 2012 Email: wivace2012@ce.unipr.it Web site: http://wivace2012.ce.unipr.it Facebook: WIVACE2012 LinkedIn: WIVACE2012 |
