Description:
The Sixth International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN VI) will be held in Paris, France,
on September 16 - 20, 2000. This meeting will bring together an international community from academia, government
and industry interested in algorithms suggested by the unifying theme of natural computation.
Natural computation is a common name for the design, theoretical analysis and empirical understanding of algorithms
gleaned from nature. Characteristic for natural computation is the metaphorical use of concepts, principles and
mechanisms underlying natural systems, such as evolutionary processes involving mutation, recombination, and
selection in natural evolution, annealing or punctuated equilibrium processes of many-particle systems in physics,
growth processes in nature and economics, collective intelligence in biology, DNA-based computing in molecular
chemistry, and multi-cellular behavioral processes in neural and immune networks.
