[DMANET] Call for papers: Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms (ALEA) thematic track @ EPIA 2019

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


     Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms (ALEA) thematic track
     @
     19th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2019)
     
     https://epia2019.utad.pt/
     September 3-6, 2019
     Vila Real – Portugal
     
     Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2019


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

Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms (ALEA) deals with the study and simulation of life and evolution. Inspired by a range of different domains including biology, chemistry, physics and social sciences, it captures the main processes of natural systems and recreates them in artificial environments, leading to the development of new computational approaches that can address large, complex and dynamic problems from different domains.

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 Behaviors
     Evolution and Learning Dynamics
     Evolutionary Algorithms
     Evolutionary Machine Learning
     Evolutionary Optimization
     Evolutionary Robotics
     Evolution of Neural Networks
     Genetic Programming
     Hyper-heuristics
     Hybrid Approaches
     Multi-objective Optimization
     Origins of Life
     Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms
     Self-organizing Systems
     Swarm Intelligence


Important Dates:

     Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2019
     Notification of paper acceptance: May 31, 2019
     Camera ready papers deadline: June 15, 2019
     Conference dates: September 3-6, 2019

ALEA will offer two student registrations sponsored by INESC Coimbra.
