Systems Self-Assembly at 7th International Conference on Artificial Evolution
-- apologies for cross posting --
CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE SPECIAL SESSION ON
SYSTEMS SELF-ASSEMBLY
AT THE 7th International Conference on Artificial Evolution
October 26-28 2005 - University of Lille - France
ORGANISERS:
Natalio Krasnogor, Marian Gheorghe, Jean-Louis Giavitto, David A. Pelta
SCOPE:
Self-assembly is a process that creates complex hierarchical structures
(from a given set of components) through the statistical exploration of
alternative configurations. These processes occur without external
intervention. In general, components are autonomous, have no
pre-programmed assembly plan, and can only interact with their local
environment, thus they are not pre-assigned to a specific function or
arrangement within the final assembled structure.
Besides the modelling and the simulation in natural systems,
self-assembly can be used in artificial systems as a powerful
engineering principle to achieve a desired collective effect or to form
potentially autonomic structures exhibiting a hierarchy of emergent
system properties.
Systems where self-assembly takes place (or which are created by a
self-assembling processes) are remarkably varied, and some common
principles for self-assembly are starting to be discerned.
In this context, this special session will be a showcase of systems
self-assembly across the computational, biological, chemical, physical
and engineering disciplines. It will seek to uncover unifying principles
for the study and implementation of systems self-assembly. It hopes to
bring together researchers in various communities to present their
results, to foster fertilization between theory and practice across
multi-disciplines, as well as to favour the dissemination and growth of
new tools and applications.
PAPER SUBMISSION:
The session organizers request original papers on self-assembly and
self-organization theory and practice. Authors should submit the
camera-ready version of their paper written in English, of up to 12
pages (including figures, tables and references), in electronic format
as specified in http://www.lifl.fr/EA2005/ under the "Author Kit" section.
Papers must be submitted to :
Dr. Natalio Krasnogor
E-mail: Natalio.Krasnogor@Nottingham.ac.uk
Subject: Contribution to "Systems Self-Assembly Special Session EA2005"
Authors must send their papers (LATEX sources plus camera ready in
PDF/Postscript), before May 2nd , 2005.
Please, check the conference website http://www.lifl.fr/EA2005/ for
formatting instructions but remember that the papers must be sent to Dr.
N. Krasnogor.
The accepted papers will appear in the EA 2005 proceedings.
The Program Committee will referee all papers received. Accepted papers
must be presented during the conference. At least one author's
registration is required for each accepted paper.
A selected few of the accepted papers will be invited to be extended and
submitted to appear in the book "Systems Self-Assembly:
Multidisciplinary Snapshots" to be published by Elsevier in its series
"Studies in Multidisciplinarity".
