Conference Announcement and Call for Papers
*FROM ANIMALS TO ANIMATS*
THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE SIMULATION OF
ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR (SAB2000)
http://www-poleia.lip6.fr/~sab2000
An International Conference organized by The International Society
for Adaptive Behavior (ISAB), in cooperation with the Chair of
Physiology of the College de France.
11 - 15 September 2000, Paris, France
The objective of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together
researchers in computer science, control, artificial intelligence,
robotics, neurosciences, ethology, and related fields so as to further
our understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow
natural and artificial animals to adapt and survive in uncertain
environments. The conference will focus on well-defined models ---
robot models, computer simulation models, mathematical models ---
to help characterize and compare various organizational principles
or architectures underlying adaptive behavior in real animals and
synthetic agents, the animats. In addition, there will be sessions on
psychological issues, on the one hand, and on industrial applications,
on the other, of animat research.
Contributions treating any of the following topics from the perspective
of adaptive behavior will receive special emphasis:
Perception and motor control Neural correlates of behavior
Motivation and emotion Action selection
Learning and development Evolutionary approaches
Emergent structures and behaviors Internal models and representation
Collective and social behavior Characterization of environments
Philosophical and psychological issues Applied adaptive behavior
Autonomous robots Software agents and virtual creatures
Authors should make every effort to suggest implications of their work for
both natural and artificial animals. Papers that do not deal explicitly
with adaptive behavior will be rejected.
Submission Instructions
Submission instructions can be found on the conference Web site.
Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages. Because the whole review
process heavily relies on electronic means, the organizers strongly
enforce electronic submissions of Postscript or PDF documents.
Otherwise, six hard-copies in traditional paper format must be sent
to the Program Chair, Jean-Arcady Meyer.
Computer, video, and robotic demonstrations are also invited for submission.
Submit a 2-page proposal plus a title page to the program chair. Indicate
equipment requirements and relevance to the themes of the conference.

Finally, SAB2000 will be held a week before PPSN2000, the 6th International
Conference on Parallel Problem Solving From Nature
(http://www.inria.fr/PPSN2000). Both conferences will share several
specialized workshops and tutorials, which will be announced later.
==================================
Swarm-Modelling is for discussion of Simulation and Modelling techniques
esp. using Swarm. For list administration needs (esp. [un]subscribing),
