                 AI'94 WORKSHOP ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION

    University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia, 22 November 1994


SCOPE 
-----

AI'94 Workshop on Evolutionary Computation will be held as part of AI'94 
(The Seventh Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence) on 21--25 
November 1994 in Armidale, NSW, Australia. People from all areas of evolutionary
computation are encouraged to participate in and submit their papers to the 
workshop. The first such workshop was held on 16 November 1993 in Melbourne, 
Australia, as the AI'93 Workshop on Evolutionary Computation.

Evolutionary computation is the study of computational systems which use ideas
and get inspirations from natural evolution and adaptation. Topics of this 
workshop include, but are not limited to: 
        + Classifier Systems and Other Evolutionary Learning Systems 
        + Evolutionary Artificial Neural Networks 
        + Hybrid Learning Systems
        + Comparisons Between Different Learning Systems
        + Evolutionary Optimisation
        + Self-Organisation
        + Collective Behaviour
        + Complexity in Evolutionary Systems
        + Artificial Life
        + Evolutionary Approach to Autonomous Robots
        + Theories of Evolutionary Computation
        + Parallel Implementations
        + Applications
