PACLP 2000 The Practicla Application of Constraint Technology and Logic Programming.
Of particular interest are papers that describe the general use of
Constraint technologies and Logic Programming, rather than the
traditional close up description of one application. For instance, this
could be a survey on the specific usage of a technology in a business
area or demographic part of the world.
Also included are streams to demonstrate and expand the practicality and
effectiveness of recent lines of research such as integration of
multiple solvers, generic problem modelling and tackling of ill-defined
real-world constraint problems. The integration of solvers from
different paradigms, such as constraint programming, mathematical
programming, Operational Research techniques and stochastic techniques
(Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing) is emerging as a
practical means to tackle large scale combinatorial optimization
problems effectively. Also most real-world problems are ill-defined in
nature. Their solving is not just about computing an optimal solution
but building an incremental and interactive decision support tool that
identifies and resolves the ill-defined components. Practical and
effective solutions that illustrate the hybridization of techniques, the
modelling and handling of uncertainty in real-world constraint problems
are most welcome.
Suggested topics include:
Survey with respect to an application area
Evaluation and comparison of approaches
Solutions using multiple solving techniques
Hybrid solver configurations
Modelling and solving of ill-defined applications

AISB'00 CONVENTION Time for AI and Society.
CONVENTION THEME The Convention theme ``Time for AI and Society'' alludes to the present time of change in society at large, as symbolised by the new millenium. The theme has various aspects: -- It is timely for AI to contribute further _to_ society, including its work environments and leisure worlds. More generally, the possible impact of AI, as it develops, on society is an important topic of study. -- It is timely for AI to intensify its study _of_ society in a broad sense. -- It is timely for AI to make further advances in dealing with handling time and change themselves. The overall theme therefore allows a very broad range of Symposia with rich interrelationships, and provides a place for many styles of content: for example, APPLICATIONS-ORIENTED RESEARCH STUDIES OF HUMAN-FACTORS ISSUES BASIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH.

The Seventh International Conference on the Simulation and Synthesis of Living Systems.
Artificial life is an interdisciplinary research enterprise
investigating the fundamental properties of living systems
through the simulation and synthesis of life-like processes
in artificial media. This year's conference coincides with
the birth of a new millennium, and this presents an
opportunity to take stock of the community's main
achievements and central open questions: hence the conference
theme "Looking backward, looking forward." In addition to
showcasing the best current work, this conference aims to
play a pivotal role in shaping the artificial life research
agenda in the years to come.
All authors of conference papers are encouraged to explain
how their work sheds light on the fundamental properties of
living systems. Authors are also encouraged to address the
conference theme "Looking backward, looking forward" by
explaining how their contribution builds on important
previous work in artificial life and helps crystallize and
make progress on important open questions. Special
consideration will be given to papers that compare theory
with data from model systems or experiments and to papers
that compare such data across different systems, especially
natural and artificial systems. Papers are welcome on (but
not limited to) the following topics:
Origin of life, self-organization, self-replication:
o astrobiology, exobiology
o artificial and evolutionary chemistry
o autocatalytic systems, metabolization
o synthetic and supermolecular chemistry (including
molecular self-assembly)
o molecular information processing, construction and
nanotechnology
Development and differentiation:
o multicellular development
o gene-regulation networks
o natural and artificial morphogenesis
Evolutionary and adaptive dynamics:
o pattern and mode of evolution, radiation and
extinction
o modes of selection (natural, sexual, neutral, kin,
etc.)
o artificial evolutionary ecologies and life games
o molecular evolution in models systems (especially
RNA evolution)
o immune and defense systems
o evolvability and its impact on biological
organization
o cultural evolution, evolution and learning
o evolutionary computation
Robots and agents:
o bio-inspired robots, embodied cognition
o autonomous and adaptive robots and software agents
o evolutionary robotics
Communication, cooperation and collective behavior:
o emergent collective behaviors, swarm intelligence
o evolution of communication and cooperation
o social and linguistic systems
o economic systems, social-technical systems
Applications of ALife technologies:
o industrial and commercial applications
+ evolvable hardware, self-repairing hardware
and molecular computing
+ genetic engineering and nanotechnology
+ finance and economics
+ computer games
o medical applications
o educational applications
Simulation and synthesis tools and methodologies:
o formal and mathematical foundations
o clarification and evaluation of ALife methodologies
o simulation languages, experimental tools
o artificial worlds
o tools for large data sets
The broader context:
o metaphysical and epistemological foundations and
implications of ALife
o ethical and social implications of ALife
o ALife-inspired art
Full information about conference paper format and submission
procedures will be available later. Direct questions,
concerns, and inquiries to the conference email at
<alife7@alife.org>. Complete and up-to-date information about
the conference will always be available through the
conference web site at <http://alife7.alife.org>.
To catalyze reflection about the theme "Looking backward,
looking forward" an open-ended web-based discussion will
proceed the conference. This on-line discussion will survey
artificial life's main achievements and central open
questions as well as the future organizational structure of
the artificial life community. To enhance the community's
collective intelligence as much as possible, everyone is
encouraged to participate in this discussion. The theme
"Looking backward, looking forward" will interconnect most of
the events at the conference. The conference will kick off
with a presentation of the consensus that emerged from the
community's web interactions. All conference presenters will
be encouraged to connect their work to the theme. A
roundtable discussion toward the end of the conference will
reassess artificial life's important achievements and open
questions in the light of presentations and discussions
during the conference. And there will be a forum to address
the idea of founding an international society for artificial
life.
The Conference will include a series of workshops and
tutorials for special interest groups. A separate call for
workshop and tutorial proposals will appear in November 1999,
and a Proceedings of Artificial Life VII Workshop papers will
be published at the Conference. Younger scientists including
graduate students and post-docs are encouraged to consider
organizing a workshop. For more information about workshops
or tutorials, contact the Workshops and Tutorials Co-Chairs:

generated problems, etc.
-- the role of theoretical models in experiments
-- studies from various fields of AI which exemplify good empirical
methodology and its value for obtaining interesting results.
-- the ethics of experimentation; e.g., should reports provide
enough information for experimental replication? are AI
experimental standards distinct from those of other disciplines?
-- to what extent are empirical methods really necessary in AI
(possibly
due to the inadequacy or impossibility of theoretical methods)?
How is AI different from other areas of Computer Science
in this respect?

This workshop will focus on recent advances in the mathematical modeling of neural systems having one or more of the following dynamical features: 1) memory - in particular, "dynamic" memory, 2) synaptic and propagation delays, or 3) the coexistence of steady states. These features, as well as their possible interactions, have been highlighted in a number of recent studies, e.g. of the activity of recurrent neural circuits ubiquitous in the nervous system. The emphasis will be mainly on the mathematical modeling of real biological systems, yet the workshop will also explore the relevance of these issues to disciplines ranging from psychology to artificial neural networks.
