SECOND ITALIAN
WORKSHOP ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
(2a Giornata di Studio
Italiana sul Calcolo
Evoluzionistico)
G S I C E 2
A joint event with the
THIRD ITALIAN WORKSHOP ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE
(3o Workshop Italiano di Vita Artificiale)
W I V A 3
Evolutionary computation (EC) has been the fastest-growing and
probably most active sub-field of soft computing in the last
decade.
Despite a significant presence of Italian researchers in
European and International research projects and conferences on EC, no
event dedicated to the general field of EC had ever been organized in
Italy before last year's First Italian Workshop on Evolutionary
Computation (GSICE 2005) which has recorded a large success.
This
year, the GSICE workshop will be held concurrently with the Third
Italian Workshop on Artificial Life (WIVA 3, 12-15 September 2006) in
the wonderful town of Siena. Despite the workshop focus on national
activity, contributions from researchers from any country are
welcome!
The principal aims with which this event is organized
are:
- to establish a meeting point
where Italian researchers are given the opportunity to exchange ideas,
among one another and with researchers from other countries
- to make industry aware of the
potential of evolutionary computation methods in developing real-world
applications
- to encourage the participation
of undergraduate and graduate students, and to increase the number of
researchers in the fields by attracting young researchers towards
evolutionary computation
The expected audience will therefore be composed of researchers and students
who are already working in the field, but also of representatives of industry
and everybody who is interested in approaching evolutionary computation from
the point of view of both basic research and applications.
