Organizing Committee
JORDAN POLLACK is a computer science and complex systems professor at Brandeis University. His laboratory's work on AI, Artificial Life, Neural Networks, Evolution, Dynamical Systems, Games, Robotics, Machine Learning, and Educational Technology has been reported on by the New York Times, Time, Science, NPR, Slashdot.org and many other media sources worldwide.
MARK BEDAU is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Reed College. He is President of the International Society for Artificial life, as well as Editor-in-Chief of the journal. Mark has also been involved in Alife 7 and Alife 8 conferences. His paper "Open problems in artificial life" Artificial Life 6 (2000): 363-376 has had a dramatic ongoing effect on the field.
PHIL HUSBANDS is Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Sussex, co-director of the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics (CCNR) and head of the Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems Group in the department of Informatics. He has conducted and lead research in the application and development of bio-inspired adaptive technologies for the past 18 years.
TAKASHI IKEGAMI is professor of physics at the university of Tokyo, School for Arts and Sciences. He heads
the laboratory of artificial
life and complex systems. He has been developing various theoretical models of biological phenomena using artificial chemistries and neural networks, focusing in particular on the coupled recognizers and the co-evolutionary systems.
RICHARD WATSON is a research fellow in population genetics in the Dept. of
Organismic & Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His interdisciplinary work has created publications in evolutionary computation, evolutionary robotics, population genetics, and artificial life. His current work is transforming results between genetic algorithm theory and theoretical population genetics.
