    The focus of ICANNGA is on theoretical aspects and
    practical applications of computational paradigms
    inspired by natural processes, especially
    ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS and EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS.


    ICANNGA 2001 will include invited plenary talks, contributed
    papers, poster session, tutorials and a social program.
