Just a small reminder that the deadline for ICES 2010 is fast approaching.

Meanwhile, we have some exciting news: we have secured two great keynote
speakers: Prof. Andrew Turberfield, from the Clarendon Laboratories at
the University of Oxford will present a keynote on "Using DNA to
construct molecular systems", while Prof. Steve Furber, from the
University of Manchester, will speak on "Biologically-Inspired
Massively-Parallel Architectures - computing beyond a million
processors". We are hard at work to secure a third keynote speaker that
we hope will be as interesting and relevant to our research.
So get those papers in! We are really looking forward to seeing you in
York this September!

9th International Conference on Evolvable Systems (ICES)
- From Biology to Hardware
St. William's College, York, UK, 5th-8th September 2010
http://www.ices2010.org/
========================================================
*** Submission Deadline: 5th March 2010 ***
Held without interruption since 1995, ICES has become the leading
conference in the field of evolvable hardware and systems. The
9th ICES conference, to be held in York, UK, in September 2010,
hopes to build on the success of its predecessors by bringing
together researchers who combine biologically inspired concepts
with hardware and presenting the latest developments in the field.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Evolutionary hardware design
* Co-evolution of hybrid systems
* Embryonic hardware
* Intrinsic and extrinsic evolution
* Hardware/software co-evolution
* On-line hardware evolution
* Evolutionary robotics
* Autonomic and organic computing
* Evolutionary circuit diagnostics and testing
* Self-repairing and fault tolerant systems
* Self-reconfigurable and adaptive hardware
* Generative and developmental approaches
* Real-world applications of evolvable hardware
* MEMS and nanotechnology in evolvable hardware
* Formal models for bio-inspired hardware systems
* Novel devices/testbeds/tools for evolvable hardware
=== Paper Submission ===
Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit original
papers using the electronic submission form on the conference
webpage. All accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings.
=== Conference Venue ===
The conference will be held in the historic centre of York, a
walled riverside city in the north of England, around two hours
by rail from London, Edinburgh and Manchester. York is a small
city with a rich 2000 years history, a popular tourist
destination with a lively café bar and restaurant culture,
offering a number of museums and galleries set around the
Minster, one of Europe's largest Gothic cathedrals.
