In this talk Prof. Eiben presents a vision about the upcoming breakthrough in artificial evolution: animate artefacts that (self-)reproduce in physical spaces. In other words, he envision the ``Evolution of Things'', rather than just the evolution of digital objects, leading to a new field of Embodied Artificial Evolution. After presenting this vision he elaborate on some of the technical challenges and relate the main algorithmic/technical requirements to the current know-how in EC. Finally, he will speculate about possible applications, their societal impacts, and argue that these developments will radically change our lives.

Small Flying Robots and Visual Navigation

Leonardo Bezerra: Multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) algorithms have shown promising results for various multi-objective problems, but they also offer a large number of possible design choices. Often, exploring all possible configurations is practically infeasible. Recently, the automatic configuration of a MOACO framework was explored and was shown to result in new state-of-the-art MOACO algorithms for the bi-objective traveling salesman problem. In this video Leonardo talks about this approach to the bi-objective bidimensional knapsack problem (bBKP) to prove its generality and power. http://bit.ly/12aDpP6

During the Lakeside Research Days 2012 Hermann de Meer form the University of Passau gave a talk about An Example of a Demand-Response System in the Smart Grid. You can find more information at our website: http://www.Lakeside-Labs.com The Lakeside Research Days are an annual workshop focussing on the core competence of Lakeside Labs: self-organizing networked systems. International experts are devoted to a special topic in selforganizatuion in the anual organized workshop of Alpen-Adria-Universität and Lakeside Labs. The event is organized as a five days workshop. It takes place at Lakeside Labs GmbH in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Austria, near a beautiful lake and alps scenery. Invited experts, local professors, and young researchers discuss and elaborate ideas in the field of self-organizing systems (SOS). The main emphasis of the workshop is on soliciting discussions and creating new ideas regarding a topic related to self-organizing systems. The event provides an exellent platform for scientific exchange, networking, establishment of international collaboration, and joint research projects.
