ALEA 2013 - Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms

ALEA’13 is specifically dedicated to both the theory and the application of Artificial Life (ALife) and Evolutionary Algorithms (EA). This is a young and fast growing interdisciplinary research field, yet already well established and sufficiently mature to solve an ever-growing number of difficult optimization problems in various industrial, economic and scientific domains, that conventional approaches are not able to address. ALEA has been a track of the biennial international EPIA conferences since 2003, aiming to bring together researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds and domains, and providing a pleasant venue for the fruitful discussion of current developments and applications.
