We seek original contributions suggested, but not limited, to the following areas of interest:

Adaptation in hardware, for example, as manifested in:

• Reconfigurable circuits
• Circuits and structures
• Prosthetic hardware
• Wearable devices

Algorithms for adaptation, in contexts such as:

• Optimization, learning, and evolution
• Coordination and cooperation
• Fault tolerance and robustness

Design methodologies for adaptive systems, e.g., related to:

• Computer-aided design
• Performance, cost, power, and reliability strategies
• Formal methods

Adaptation in robotics and unmanned systems, as reflected in:

• Sensing and perception
• Navigation and mapping
• Human-robot interaction
• Multi-robot teams
• Cognitive architectures
• Tensegrity and compliance
• Soft robots

Applications in areas such as:

• Space systems and missions
• Autonomous vehicles
• Social systems, economics, and finance
• Telecommunications
• Biotechnology and pharma
• Assisted living and healthcare
