Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms
(ALEA is a thematic track of EPIA 2011)

http://epia2011.appia.pt
http://epia2011.appia.pt/alea.aspx

October 10-13, 2011
Lisbon - Portugal

Submission deadline:
--> May 10, 2011

ALEA is dedicated to the theory and applications of Artificial Life and 
Evolutionary Algorithms. It has been a track of the biennial 
international EPIA conferences since 2003, aiming to bring together 
researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds and domains, 
and providing a pleasant venue for the fruitful discussion of current 
developments and applications.

-> This year ALEA will take place in Lisbon,
one of the most beautiful European capitals:

ALEA invites contributions in all aspects related to Artificial Life and 
Evolutionary Algorithms, ranging from theoretical work to innovative 
applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Artificial Chemistries
- Artificial Immune Systems
- Classifier Systems
- Complex Networks
- Emergent Behaviours
- Evolution and Learning Dynamics
- Evolutionary Algorithms
- Evolutionary Optimization
- Evolutionary Robotics
- Genetic Programming
- Hybrid Approaches
- Multi-objective Optimization
- Origins of Life
- Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms
- Self-organizing Systems
- Swarm Intelligence

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should 
not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according 
to Springer’s LNCS instructions for authors. Papers must be submitted in 
PDF and will not be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed 15 
pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines risk being rejected 
automatically without a review. More information and templates of the 
LNCS format is available on this Springer website:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

The submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the 
Programme Committee. The reviewing process is double blind, so authors 
should remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and must 
take reasonable care not to indirectly disclose their identity. 
References to own work can be included in the paper, but should be 
referred to in the third person.

The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the 
basis of the recommendations from the reviewers and will be asked to 
send a camera ready version of their manuscripts. Even though the 
submissions can be made in PDF (preferable) or PS, we encourage authors 
to prepare their papers in TEX or LATEX because these are more 
convenient source formats for the camera ready final version. At least 
one author of each accepted work must register for the conference and 
present the work.

Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters. The best 
accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in 
the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), a subseries of 
LNCS. The remaining accepted papers will be published in a local 
edition, both in hard-copy, CD-ROM and on the web.

Important Dates:
- Paper submission: May 10
- Acceptance notifications: June 10
- Camera-ready papers: July 1
- ALEA @ EPIA 2011: October 10-13
