The international meetings of ACSEG give the opportunity to assess the state-of-art of the approaches of bio mimetic inspiration (neural networks, genetic algorithms, cellular machines, fuzzy logic,…). They also intend to draw prospects and to highlight their contributions to research in Economics and Management Science. They allow researchers to present their recent works, to exchange their know-how and to discuss the problems they meet.

After Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), Reus (Spain), Paris (France), the International Meeting ACSEG’s 2001 is being held in Rennes (France) at the Institut de Gestion de Rennes by the Centre Rennais de Recherche en Economie Gestion (CREREG, UMR CNRS 6585).

You are invited to submit works on Economics or Management in which methods of bio mimetic inspiration (neuronal networks, genetic algorithms, cellular machines, fuzzy logic,…) are used as well from a theoretical point of view as form applications into the following fields:

• Data analysis, typology, classification,
• Data mining,
• Simulation of complex processes,
• Valuations, financial forecasting,
• Consumer behaviour,
• Market segmentation,
• Theory of decision,
• Micro economics,
• Risk analysis, risk management,
• etc.

Each year, a selection of best papers is published in an international scientific review (Fuzzy Economic Review in 1999, European Journal of Economics and Social Systems in 2000).

With the support of CREREG (UMR CNRS, C6585), IREIMAR (FR 7 CNRS), Institut de Gestion de Rennes, and the University of Rennes 1.

The papers selected by the scientific committee will be presented in English or French. Two parallel sessions will be hold simultaneously. The ACSEG committee has invited four lecturers for plenary sessions:

Jean-Pierre Aubin (CRVJC, University of Paris-Dauphine)

Didier Dubois, Henri Prade (IRIT, Toulouse, CNRS)

Bernard Paulré (University of Paris-La Sorbonne)

Joseph Rynkiewicz (SAMOS-MATISSE, University of Paris La Sorbonne)

This year an "ACSEG’s Young Researcher Price" will be granted by the Scientific Committee. Rewarding a paper presented during the meeting, this price is restricted to PhD students or doctors graduated after the 01/01/1999. The young researcher will receive an amount of 305 € and his works will be included into the selected papers.

July 20, 2001 : Submission of full papers (3 copies, 8-10 pages, in French, English or Spanish). An abstract in English is demanded for papers in English or Spanish. No electronic nor fax submissions are accepted.
