AMAM2005, final call for abstracts March 21

[AUKE IJSPEERT]

Dear Connectionist colleagues,

The extended deadline for AMAM 2005 (the 3rd International Symposium on
Adaptive Motion in Animals and Machines, see
http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/amam), March 21st 2005, is approaching fast.

To hold keynotes ("Basics & Advances in ...") we have confirmations from
the following colleagues:

Biology & Mechanics:
        Roy Ritzmann
        Martin S. Fischer
Biology & Control:
        Sten Grillner
Robotics & Control:
        Ruediger Dillmann
Robotics & Mechanics:
        Martin Buehler

If you do know a colleague who could be interested in the conference and
whom we perhaps missed to contact, please be so kind to point her or him
on the symposium's website
http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/amam
or  alternately please forward the flyer which can be found at
http://wcms1.rz.tu-ilmenau.de/fakmb/fileadmin/template/amam/div/flyer.pdf

Especially contributions from the "mechanical side" (may it be "bio" or
"robotics") would be welcome, to balance out with the up to now
numerically over-represented papers on control aspects  - "embodiment"
could be represented a little bit more. Please note that we shall
realize a robot zoo, and that machine presentation in combination with
the abstract (with ISBN) will be accepted as a contribution - the offer
to have an additional long paper (with ISBN) really is an offer and no urge!

We hope to meet you in September in Ilmenau,
