The Asia-Pacific Symposium on INTELLIGENT AND EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMS first took place
in 1997 in Canberra and since then, the Asia-Pacific IES Symposiums have become
prestigious incubators of research ideas, as well as facilitators of research
collaboration. The Symposiums aim to bring together researchers and practitioners
from countries of the Asia-Pacific Region in the fields of intelligent systems and
evolutionary computation to present ongoing work, exchange ideas, and discuss
future collaboration. Researchers from elsewhere interested in collaboration with
researchers from the Asia-Pacific Region are most welcome.

The 22nd edition of the conference, IES 2018, will be held in Sapporo, Japan,
during December 20-22, 2018, and organized by Hokkaido University.

IES 2018 welcomes fundamental science, methodology, method, and practical application
papers in the IES Symposiums’ traditional range of topics, which includes but is not limited to:

– Artificial Intelligence
– Artificial Life and Societies
– Machine Learning
– Neural Networks
– Data Science and Decision Analytics
– Evolutionary and Nature Inspired computation
– Game Theory
– Human/Brain-Computer Interaction
– Agents and Complex Systems
– Cognitive and Developmental Systems
– Robotics Systems
– Collective Intelligence
– Swarm Systems
– Intelligent Transport Systems
