                        ISAS 2001
            International Symposium on Adaptive Systems

         "Evolutionary Computation and Probabilistic
                 Graphical Models"

          Hotel Palco and Havana Convention Center,
                  March 19-23, 2001

             ( http:://isas2001.tripod.com/symp )

    -------------------------------------------------------

    To be hold in Havana in the period 19-23 March 2001 in
    the context of the International Conference CIMAF
    2001.
    The major themes of the symposium are evolutionary
    computation or hybrid evolutionary approaches,
    and bayesian learning or learning in graphical models.

    This symposium follows the successful ISAS’99
    (International Symposium on Adaptive Systems)
    held in Havana in the context of CIMAF’99 conference,
    and aims at exploring these two research
    activities and their roles and interactions in
    Adaptive Systems.

    - - Scientific Programme

    Our main purpose is to bring together researchers,
    coming from different communities, who share the
    common feature of being involved in using the
    dependence structure of a complex statistical model in

    some aspect of evolutionary computation and other
    modern heuristic or soft-computing techniques.
    Cross-fertilization between graphical model research
    and different soft-computing approaches, such as
    genetic algorithms and other evolutionary algorithms,
    as well as neural network learning, reinforcement
    learning, decision tree learning, etc, will be
    strongly encouraged by the conference. However, the
    topics
    of interest to this conference include but are not
    limited to the following:
      
    - - Genetic algorithms
    - - Learning Bayesian Models from data.
    - - Genetic programming
    - - Mixture of Models.
    - - Classifier systems, evolutionary learning.
    - - Dynamic Bayesian Networks.
    - - Evolutionary optimization.
    - - Gaussian Graphical Models.
    - - Constraint, global and multiobjective optimization
    - - Model selection.
    - - Evolutionary strategies
    - - Monte Carlo methods.
    - - Graphical Models and Evolutionary Computation.
    - - Junction tree algorithms.
    - - Graphical Models and Neural Networks.
    - - Simulation in Graphical Models.
    - - Reinforcement learning.
    - - Theoretical Foundations of G. Models
    - - Bayesian and Evolutionary Data Mining.
    - - Stochastic algorithms
    - - Other soft-computing heuristics.
    - - Models with latent variables
