  Special session on: Evolutionary Computation in Games
  p.hingston at ecu.edu.au

Dear Games Researcher,

This email is to remind you about the special session on evolutionary
computation in games to be held at the upcoming IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation (CEC'07).  CEC'07 will be held in Singapore
from 25-28 September 2007.


Special session on: Evolutionary Computation in Games
=====================================================

Games have proven to be an ideal test domain for the study of evolutionary
algorithms as not only are they fun to play and interesting to observe,
but they provide competitive and dynamic environments that model many
real-world problems.  Evolutionary techniques have successfully been
applied to many different kinds of games, however a number of research
questions still remain.  This special session aims to bring together
leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to
discuss recent advances and explore future directions in this field.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: .....

---------------
In recent years, there has been significant increase in Internet attacks,
such as DDoS, viruses, worms, spyware, and malware, etc, causing huge
economical and social damage. While the attack systems have become more
easy-to-use, sophisticated, and powerful, interest has greatly increased
in the field of building more effective, intelligent, and active defense
systems which are distributed and networked. We will focus our program on
issues related to Network and System Security, such as authentication,
access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality,
dependability and sustainability of network defense systems. We also
welcome research reports on network attack systems; because we believe
only by fully understanding the attack mechanisms can we perform .....
