2014 IEEE International Conference on

Evolvable Systems (ICES)

From Biology to Hardware (and back!)

The IEEE International Conference on Evolvable Systems (IEEE ICES) has been held, uninterrupted, since 1995 and in 2013 evolved from ICES to IEEE ICES. Following on from the success in 2013, ICES will continue to be part of the successful IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, providing the possibility for increased interaction between ICES and the other symposiums and workshops.

Evolvable systems encompass understanding, modelling and applying biologically inspired mechanisms to physical systems. Application areas for bio-inspired algorithms include the creation of novel physical devices/systems, novel or optimised designs for physical systems and for the achievement of adaptive physical systems. Having showcased examples from analogue and digital electronics, antennas, MEMS chips, optical systems as well as quantum circuits in the past, the IEEE ICES has become the leading conference for showcasing techniques and applications of evolvable systems.
