    ISAS 2001 - International Symposium on Adaptive Systems
                "Evolutionary Computation and Probabilistic Graphical
    Models"
                 Hotel Palco and Havana Convention Center, Cuba
                 March 19-23, 2001

          1- Special one day session on Adaptation and Bioinformatics.
          2- Call for tutorials and/or large key talks (1 - 1.5 hours)
          3- Extension of the deadline until January 15.

     1- Extension of deadline.

        The Organizing Committee of ISAS 2001 has decided to extend the
    deadline for presentation of papers until January 15. Please visit our
    web page for details.
            (http://isas2001.tripod.com/symp)

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

     2- One day Special Session on Adaptation and Bioinformatics.

        The ISAS 2001 conference will explore recent issues on the
    convergence of Adaptive Systems and Bioinformatics.The aim of the
    session is the discussion of works in this new field of research and
    applications.

        Contributions will be welcomed that address the cross-fertilization
    between the fields of Artificial Adaptive Systems, and the research on
    molecular biology, genetics, neural systems, population dynamics and in
    general nature inspired research.

        The works will be published in the ISAS2001 conference's
    proceedings. We also call for presentation of tutorials or large key
    talks in this field. At this moment we already have the following
    tutorials:

        1- Prospect and problems in Bioinformatics
           Selfish is not enough a model of organism is missing.
           Dr. Heinz Muehlenbein. (Germany).

        2- Spiking Neural Models (to be confirmed).
           Dr. Hans Bothe (Denmark)

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

     3- Call for Tutorials and/or large talks.

        The organizing committee of ISAS2001 call for the presentation of
    tutorials and/or large talks (1 - 1.5 hours) in anyone of the topics of
    the conference (see isas2001.tripod.com/symp).

        We already have the following talks:

        1-Future Trends of Evolutionary Computing
          Dr. Heinz Muehlenbein. National Research Center for Information
    Technology (Germany)

        2- Numerical Tight Bounds for Continuous Functions Over Polyhedron
    Domains: A Tutorial
          Dr. Hossein Arsham, University of Baltimore (USA)

        3- Evolutionary Design of Hybrid Systems - Reviews and Prospects for
    Industrial Applications.
           Dr. Ajith Abraham. Monash University. (Australia)

        4- Optimization and Machine Learning with Estimation Distribution
    Algorithnms
           Dr. Pedro Larrannaga. University of the Basque Country. (Spain)

        The deadline for presentation of tutorials is January 10.
        Speakers can present a written version of their talks for
    publication in the proceedings. (although it is not mandatory).
        They should use the same format of regular papers, but a maximum of
    15 pages is allowed.
