For those who are wondering whether sociometry might be managed via the internet, here is something that I recently received. I'm not interested, but in light of the conversation in the last couple of months, perhaps there are some of you who might be. -- warmly, adam

CALL FOR PAPERS 

 

We would like to invite you to attend the 2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC). Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and co-sponsored by the Evolutionary Programming Society and the IET, the CEC 2007 will be held in Singapore, September 25-28, 2007. The annual IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation is one of the leading events in the area of evolutionary computation. It covers all topics in evolutionary computation, including, but not limited to: 

 

* Ant colony optimization                       * Artificial immune systems 

* Artificial life                               * Autonomous mental & behavior development 

* Bioinformatics & bioengineering               * Coevolution & collective behavior 

* Cognitive systems & applications              * Combinatorial & numerical optimization 

* Computational finance & economics             * Constraint & uncertainty handling 

* Evolutionary data mining                      * Evolutionary design   

* Evolutionary games                            * Evolutionary intelligent agents 

* Evolutionary learning systems                 * Evolutionary robotic & control systems 

* Evolvable hardware & software                 * Evolving neural networks & fuzzy systems 

* Memetic & hybrid algorithms                   * Molecular & quantum computing 

* Multiobjective optimization                   * Particle swarm intelligence 

* Real-world applications                       * Representation & operators 

* Theory of evolutionary computation 

 

 

CEC 2007 will feature a world-class conference that aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation and computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote speeches, special sessions, tutorial workshops, panel discussions as well as poster presentations. On top of this, participants will be treated to a series of social functions, receptions and networking sessions, which will serve as a vital channel to establish new connections and foster everlasting friendship among fellow counterparts.

 

 

Singapore is a vibrant commercial and financial hub, which at the same time also serves its role as a melting pot for the fusion of a diverse mix of many different cultures. Visitors to this tropical island resort will be treated to a great array of interesting attractions, festival celebrations and cultural events, not forgetting the one-stop shopping and eating experience in this entertainment paradise. The conglomeration of all the different elements will definitely give visitors of Singapore an exciting and unforgettable experience.
