Artificial evolution

More about the book

The Evolution Artificielle cycle of conferences began as a platform for the French-speaking evolutionary computation community. Previous meetings were held in various locations in France, culminating in EA 2001 at the Université de Bourgogne in Le Creusot, an area famous for its wines. The conference has increasingly attracted international submissions, with 39 papers from non-francophonic countries across all five continents out of a total of 68. Due to the conference's single-session format, only 28 papers were presented orally, which participants appreciated. The Organizing Committee expresses gratitude to the International Program Committee for their dedication in managing the high volume of submissions and maintaining the scientific quality of the presentations. The overall quality was notably high, with all 28 presentations included in this volume, organized into eight sections that reflect the oral session's structure. An invited paper by P. Bentley highlighted his classification of interdisciplinary collaborations and showcased his work with musicians and biologists.
