From animals to animats 7
Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior
Edited by Bridget Hallam, Dario Floreano, John Hallam, Gillian Hayes and Jean-Arcady Meyer

The Simulation of Adaptive Behavior Conference brings together researchers from ethology, psychology, ecology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, computer science, engineering, and related fields to further understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow adaptation and survival in uncertain environments. The work presented focuses on robotic and computational experimentation with well-defined models that help to characterize and compare alternative organizational principles or architectures underlying adaptive behavior in both natural animals and synthetic animats.
