CONFERENCE FLYER to enter both another world and another century. If you work falls in the intersection between evolutionary algorithms and complex systems, if you apply complex system analysis to them, if you use some kind of emergent property as an operator, or use complex networks as population structure; if your resume includes "complex" as well as "evolutionary" including all possible synonyms: EvoComplex is your workshop! Proposals for special sessions should be made according to the guidelines in the VCIPf2010 Call for Special Sessions (http://vcip2010.ustc.edu.cn/special_sessions.htm) and submitted by Nov. 7, 2009.
