          Journal of Systems Architecture (Elsevier)
           Special Issue on Evolutionary Computing

Journal of Systems Architecture - The Euromicro Journal (Elsevier) 
(http://ww1.elsevier.nl/locate/sysarc) invites original 
contributions for a forthcoming special issue on evolutionary
computing. The special issue is scheduled to appear in mid-2001.

For the special issue, papers describing (i) EA approaches to 
systems design and (ii) novel architectures for EA-based systems 
are particularly encouraged. Topics of interest include (but are 
not limited to):

  -- Theory of EAs (mathematical description of EA-behaviour)
  -- Design of new, improved EAs
  -- Hybrid systems (e.g., Neuro-fuzzy-EA, EA-simulated 
     annealing-tabu search, etc.)
  -- Evolutionary robotics
  -- Evolving hardware architectures
  -- Architectures for parallel EAs

Manuscripts (in English) should not normally exceed 10,000 words 
in length. Please provide a title page containing the title of the 
paper, names and affiliations of the authors, and mailing address,
e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding 
author. The manuscript must contain a brief summary (maximum 150 
words). Four hard copies (not faxes) of the manuscript should 
be submitted to the guest editor:
