PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 12 September 2014 (extended)

 

DESCRIPTION: While Artificial Life (AL) attempts to understand nature
through modelling and simulation, Computational Intelligence (CI) attempts
to translate this understanding into algorithms for learning and
optimisation. The Australasian Conference on Artificial Life and
Computational Intelligence (ACALCI 2015) features international research in
AL and CI and provides a forum for innovative, interdisciplinary research
associated with the computational concepts underlying living and intelligent
systems. 

 

SCOPE: ACALCI 2015 will be organised in broad technical sessions that bring
together experts from different fields in AL, CI and associated areas. The
forum also hopes to encourage ALCI applied research in domains as diverse as
health, the creative arts and finance (to name a few). ACALCI encourages
presentations, demonstrations, performances and discussions on new
innovative research and interdisciplinary projects. Invited are high-quality
papers relevant to AL or CI where the topics of interest include but are not
limited to: Adaptive Ecologies, Affective Computing, ALCI in Design and
Music, Ant Colony Optimisation, Applications of ALCI, Autonomous Agents,
Architecture and ALCI, Artificial Neural Networks, Artificial Societies and
Markets, Augmented and Virtual Realities, Big Data, Bioinformatics, BCIs,
Brain theory, Chatbots, Cognitive Neuroscience, Complex Systems,
Computational Neuroscience, Consciousness and Mind, Creative Arts and CI,
Data Mining, Deep Learning, Developmental Learning, Digital Societies,
Dimensionality Reduction, Embodiment and Robotics, Emergence of
Collaborative Behaviour, Emotional AI, Epidemiology Simulations, Ethics and
Security in CI, Evolutionary Computation, Evolutionary Design, Facial
Expression Analysis, Game Playing Agents, Human-Machine Interaction,
Humanities and ALCI, Humanoid Robots, Implementation Techniques, Information
Theoretic Learning, Intelligent Home Automation, Language Processing,
Machine Learning, Medical Image Analysis, Memetic Algorithms, Metalearning,
Models of Emotions, Multi-Agent Systems, Non-player Game Characters, Pattern
Recognition, Philosophy of Artificial Life, Reservoir Computing,
Self-Organisation, Simulation and Modelling, Smart Grid Techniques, Social
Networks and ALCI, Statistical Learning Theory, Swarm Algorithms, Synthetic
Life Computations, and Visual Information Processing.

 

SUBMISSION and PRESENTATION: Authors are invited to submit papers that have
between 6 and 14 pages in
<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0> Springer LNAI
style including results, figures and references. Longer papers up to 20
pages can be considered in exceptional cases. All relevant papers will be
fully peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers from the ACALCI 2015
International Program Committee before acceptance for publication in the
proceedings. It is expected that submitted manuscripts are original and have
neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. The
submitted papers and all their underlying research must comply with the
professional standards of the discipline.

All accepted papers that are presented at the conference would be published
in the ACALCI 2015 proceedings as a LNAI volume by Springer-Verlag. The LNAI
volumes are indexed by the following services: Scopus, Zentralblatt MATH,
IO-Port, MathSciNet, ACM Digital Library, dblp, EI Engineering Index
(Compendex and Inspec databases), and the ISI Conference Proceedings
Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), included in ISI Web of Science.

It is planned to run the conference for three days as a single stream of
high quality presentations with attached poster sessions, demonstrations and
performances. In exceptional cases where an author cannot travel, a
presentation (poster or oral) via Skype or video conferencing can be
organised.

 

LOCATION and VENUE: The University of Newcastle Conservatorium of Music
Concert Hall, Newcastle, Australia. This is a stylish venue about 2.5 hours
north of Sydney. Williamtown Airport is a 25 minute taxi/car drive away. It
is close to several hotels, YHA, and the beautiful Newcastle beaches.

 

WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS and PERFORMANCES: If you would like to organise a
workshop, tutorial or performance in connection with ACALCI2015 please
contact the organisers as soon as possible.
