CALL FOR PAPERS
2015 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2015)
ARTIFICIAL IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND ARTIFICIAL CHEMISTRIES (AIS+ACHEM) TRACK
July 11-15, 2015, Madrid, Spain
Organised by ACM SIGEVO
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2015
****************************************************************************************************

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) is a diverse area of research that takes inspiration from
the natural immune system and to develop algorithms that can be applied in a wide range of
applications, including learning, optimisation and classification. Many of these algorithms
are built on solid theoretical foundations, taking inspiration and understanding from
mathematical models and computational simulation of aspects of the immune systems.

The area of Artificial Chemistries (AChem) is concerned with developing new tools and
insights into molecular based systems, so attempting to bridge the gap between chemical,
biological and computational systems, or algorithms to develop novel dynamical systems and
control systems. This track will highlight the latest advances in these areas, and act as
a catalyst for potential interaction between these two areas.

Scope:

The AIS/AChem track welcomes submissions of original and unpublished work in all aspects of
AIS/AChem, including (but not limited to) the following areas:

- Computational modelling and simulation of aspects of the immune system or chemical systems
- Applications of AIS/AChem algorithms to computational problems
- Application to real-world problems
- Novel algorithms or simulations of AIS/AChem systems
- Hybridisation with other techniques
- Empirical investigations into performance and complexity
- Theoretical aspects including:
* Algorithm performance
* Convergence analysis
* Mathematical modelling

Each paper will be rigorously evaluated in a double-blind review process.
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
