       Evolution  Artificielle  95  -  EA'95

           September 4 - 6, 1995
         Telecom Bretagne, BREST

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EA'95 is the second conference on Evolutionary Computation organized in France. 
Following EA'94 held in Toulouse, this Conference will take place in Brest, 
the most western city of France, on the beautiful Brittany coast, from Monday 
September 4 to Wednesday September 6.

This year, communications in English are encouraged, and a selection of 
papers will be published in English.
The following topics, related to Evolutionary Computation, will be developed :


           Optimization - Learning - Theory
  Coevolution - Artificial life - Population dynamics
        Implementations - Real-world applications.


This conference will be composed of :

   -- Three invited talks, by T. Baeck, D. Vogel, and I. Stengers.

   -- 18 papers presentations.

   -- A panel discussion about Artificial Evolution, chaired by Paul Bourgine.

   -- Demonstrations of artificial life systems and game softwares.

   -- A presentation of the Kheperas robots of Francesco Mondada : participants 
      will have the opportunity to program and test these robots during the 
      conference. Users manual will be soon available on the EA'95 Web.

The conference banquet will be held on Monday evening.
