About the Conference

The Evolutionary Computation and Cognitive Science (ECCS) workshop will be a satellite to the bi-annual Australasian Cognitive Science Conference. The aim of the ECCS workshop is to bring together a wide range of speakers from disciplines related to cognitive science, explicitly to look at evolutionary computation and its applications to traditional areas of cognitive science. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to language, its origins, evolution and simulation. The audience is likely to be a mixture of researchers interested in different aspects of linguistics, language processing, computer science and psychology as well as specialists in evolutionary computation techniques.

"Evolution" is used in a broad sense for the workshop - from computational through biological, and includes issues such as origins of language, and language change. The main goal is to spark interest in discussing ideas of evolution as they relate to cogsci, from a range of perspectives. This is the first time such a group has come together explicitly to discuss evolutionary computation techniques and cognitive science in Oz.
