This volume presents a collection of revised refereed papers selected from the contributions presented at the European Conference on Artificial Evolution, AE '95, held in Brest, France, in September 1995; also included are a few papers from the predecessor conference, AE '94. Besides two invited surveys on evolution strategies and evolutionary programming, 24 full papers are presented. They are grouped into sections on evolutionary computation theory, genetic algorithm techniques, coevolution, neural networks, image processing, and applications to various optimization and other problems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Artificial Evolution, EA 2007, held in Tours, France in October 2007. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers cover all aspects of artificial evolution: genetic programming, swarm intelligence, combinatorial and multi-objective optimization, theory in genetic algorithms and evolutionary systems, as well as applications of evolutionary algorithms.

The Arti?cial Evolution conference was originally conceived as a forum for the French-speaking Evolutionary Computation community, but has of late been acquiring an European audience, with several papers from Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain... However, AE remains as intended a small and friendly gathering, which will continue to be held every two years. Previous AE meets were held in Toulouse, Brest, and Nˆ ?mes. This year, the hosting was done by the LIL (Laboratoire d’Informatique du Littoral) in the not-so-cold city of Dunkerque. The invited talk on “Fitness Landscapes and Evolutionary Algorithms” was delivered by Colin Reeves of Coventry University This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the conference. Twenty-seven papers were presented orally at the conference, selected from over 40 papers refereed by the program committee. After the conference, each p- sentation was reviewed and 20 papers were retained and revised for publication in this volume. The papers in this volume have been grouped into the following ?ve sections which more or less re?ect the organization of the oral presentations. 1. Invited Paper: C. Reeves brightly describes the state of the art in Fitness Landscapes.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Learning and Intelligent Optimization, LION 6, held in Paris, France, in January 2012. The 23 long and 30 short revised papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 99 submissions. The papers focus on the intersections and uncharted territories between machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematical programming and algorithms for hard optimization problems. In addition to the paper contributions the conference also included 3 invited speakers, who presented forefront research results and frontiers, and 3 tutorial talks, which were crucial in bringing together the different components of LION community.

L’intelligence artificielle est entrée, depuis quelques années, dans une nouvelle ère, qui donne lieu à de nombreuses craintes et à de nombreux espoirs. Rendues possibles par des algorithmes nouveaux, la multiplication des jeux de données et le décuplement des puissances de calcul, les applications se multiplient : traduction automatique, conduite autonome, détection de cancer… Le développement de l’intelligence artificielle est amené à toucher l’ensemble des domaines et des secteurs. Les investissements dans la recherche et dans l’industrie atteignent des sommes extraordinaires, notamment aux États-Unis et en Chine. Les responsables politiques du monde entier l’évoquent dans les discours de politique générale comme un levier de pouvoir majeur. C’est que l’intelligence artificielle va désormais jouer un rôle bien plus important que celui qu’elle jouait jusqu’alors et, plus que jamais, il nous faut donner un sens à son développement. Donner un sens, c’est d’abord donner une direction, un cap, pour positionner la France et l’Europe à l’avant-garde de cette révolution naissante. C’est également lui donner une signification : l’intelligence artificielle n’a précisément de sens que si elle participe du progrès humain, social et environnemental. Dans un monde marqué par les inégalités, elle ne doit pas conduire à renforcer les phénomènes d’exclusion et la concentration de la valeur. Donner un sens, c’est enfin expliquer : démystifier ces technologies auprès de la société, mais aussi expliquer l’intelligence artificielle en elle-même, s’agissant de techniques qui restent empreintes d’une très forte opacité. Donner un sens à l’IA, voilà donc l’objectif de ce rapport.

Donner un sens à l’intelligence artificielle

The Evolution Arti?cielle cycle of conferences was originally initiated as a forum for the French-speaking evolutionary computation community. Previous EA m- tings were held in Toulouse (EA’94), Brest (EA’95, LNCS 1063), Nˆ?mes (EA’97, LNCS 1363), Dunkerque (EA’99, LNCS 1829), and ?nally, EA 2001 was hosted by the Universit ́e de Bourgogne in the small town of Le Creusot, in an area of France renowned for its excellent wines. However, the EA conferences have been receiving more and more papers from the international community: this conference can be considered fully internat- nal, with 39submissions from non-francophonic countries on all ?ve continents, out of a total of 68. Out of these 68 papers, only 28 were presented orally (41%) due to the formula of the conference (single session with presentations of 30 minutes) that all participants seem to appreciate a lot. The Organizing Committee wishes to thank the members of the International Program Committee for their hard work (mainly due to the large number of submissions) and for the service they rendered to the community by ensuring the high scienti?c content of the papers presented. Actually, the overall quality of the papers presented was very high and all 28 presentations are included in this volume, grouped in 8 sections which more or less re?ect the organization of the oral session: 1. Invited Paper: P. Bentley gave a great talk on his classi?cation of int- disciplinary collaborations, and showed us some of his work with musicians and biologists.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN V, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in September 1998. The 101 papers included in their revised form were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 185 submissions. The book is divided into topical sections on convergence theory; fitness landscape and problem difficulty; noisy and non-stationary objective functions; multi-criteria and constrained optimization; representative issues; selection, operators, and evolution schemes; coevolution and learning; cellular automata, fuzzy systems, and neural networks; ant colonies, immune systems, and other paradigms; TSP, graphs, and satisfiability; scheduling, partitioning, and packing; design and telecommunications; and model estimations and layout problems.

We are proud to introduce the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN VI, held in Paris, Prance, on 18-20 September 2000. PPSN VI was organized in association with the Genetic and Evolutionary Computing Conference (GECCO'2000) and the Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC'2000), reflecting the beneficial interaction between the conference activities in Europe and in the USA in the field of natural computation. Starting in 1990 in Dortmund, Germany (Proceedings, LNCS vol. 496, Sprin ger, 1991), this biannual meeting has been held in Brussels, Belgium (Procee dings, Elsevier, 1992), Jerusalem, Israel (Proceedings, LNCS vol. 866, Springer, 1994), Berlin, Germany (Proceedings, LNCS vol. 1141, Springer, 1996), and Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Proceedings, LNCS vol. 1498, Springer, 1998), where it was decided that Paris would be the location of the 2000 conference with Marc Schoenauer as the general chair. The scientific content of the PPSN conference focuses on problem solving pa radigms gleaned from a natural models. Characteristic for Natural Computing is the metaphorical use of concepts, principles and mechanisms underlying natural systems, such as evolutionary processes involving mutation, recombination, and selection in natural evolution, annealing or punctuated equilibrium processes of many-particle systems in physics, growth processes in nature and economics, collective intelligence in biology, DNA-based computing in molecular chemistry, and multi-cellular behavioral processes in neural and immune networks.
