The conference will focus particularly on well-defined models, computer simulations, and built robots in order to help characterize and compare various organizational principles or architectures capable of inducing adaptive behavior in real or artificial animals. Contributions treating any of the following topics from the perspective of adaptive behavior will receive special emphasis. Individual and collective behavior Autonomous robots Neural correlates of behavior Hierarchical and parallel organizations Perception and motor control Emergent structures and behaviors Motivation and emotion Problem solving and planning Action selection and behavioral Goal directed behavior sequences Neural networks and evolutionary Ontogeny, learning and evolution computation Internal world models Characterization of environments and cognitive processes Applied adaptive behavior Authors should make every effort to suggest implications of their work for both natural and artificial animals. Papers which do not deal explicitly with adaptive behavior will be rejected. Submission Instructions Authors are requested to send five copies (hard copy only) of a full paper to the Program Chair (Dave Cliff). Papers should not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page), with 1 inch margins all around, and no smaller than 10 pt (12 pitch) type (Times Roman preferred). Each paper must include a title page containing the following: (1) Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers, email addresses (if available), and fax numbers for each author, (2) A 100-200 word abstract, (3) The topic area(s) in which the paper could be reviewed (see list above). Camera ready versions of the papers, in two-column format, will be required after acceptance. Computer, video, and robotic demonstrations are also invited. Please contact Phil Husbands to make arrangements for demonstrations. Other program proposals will also be considered.

Official Language: English Publisher: MIT Press/Bradford Books Conference Information The conference will be held in the centre of Brighton, on the South Coast. This is a resort town, less than one hour from London, only 30 mins from London Gatwick airport. A number of invited speakers will be giving tutorial talks in subject areas covered by the conference. Through sponsorship, conference fees will be kept to a minimum and there should also be some travel grants available. We have made arrangements for the Proceedings to be available at the conference, which requires efficient processing of submitted papers; hence if possible first submissions should be made using LaTex template available by email. Email Information Email sab94@cogs.susx.ac.uk with subject line "Subscribe mail-list" to be put on our mailing list and be sent further information about conference arrangements when available. Email sab94@cogs.susx.ac.uk with subject line "LaTex template" to be sent LaTex template for camera-ready and for initial submissions.
