The ICANNGA series of Conferences has been organised since 1993 and has a long history of promoting the principles and understanding of computational intelligence paradigms within the scientific community. Starting in Innsbruck, in Austria (1993), thence to Alès in France (1995), Norwich in England (1997), Portoroz in Slovenia (1999), Prague in Czech Republic (2001), Roanne, in France (2003) and finally Coimbra in Portugal (2005), the ICANNGA series has established itself as a reference for scientists and practicionners in this area. The series has also been of value to young researchers wishing both to extend their knowledge and experience and also meet experienced professionals in their fields.
The 2007 Conference, the eighth in the ICANNGA series, will take place at the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland, drawing on the experience of previous events, and following the same general model, combining technical sessions, including plenary lectures by renowned scientists, with tutorials and workshop panels.
In a rapidly advancing world, where technology and engineering change dramatically, new challenges in modern informatics compel us to broaden the Conference themes in order to take into account new developments. Nevertheless we have kept the acronym ICANNGA which, since the Coimbra conference in 2005, stands for International Conference on Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms
