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), Rennes (France), the International Meeting ACSEG’s 2002 is being held in Boulogne-sur-Mer, organized by the LEMMA (Laboratoire d’Economie – Méthodologie – Modélisation Appliquée) of the Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale.

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, a special issue in the serie " Advances in Computational Economics and Management Science " Klüwer Publishing in 2001).

With the support of the LEMMA and the Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale.

The papers selected by the scientific committee will be presented in English or French. Two parallel sessions will be hold simultaneously. Plenary sessions will be held by lecturers invited by the ACSEG committee; provisional program :

Eric De Bodt (Un. Lille, Louvain) " Some known facts about financial data "

Gonzalo Joya (Un. de Malaga) " Artificial Neural Networks for Energy Management System. Applicability and Limitations of the Main Paradigms "

Francisco Sandoval (Un. de Malaga) : " Design of Artificial Network Using Evolutionary Computation "

Eric Séverin (Un. Lille):," Neural networks applied to the financial structure of the firm " .

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 01/01/2000. The young researcher will receive an amount of 300 € and his/her works will be included into the selected papers.

July 15, 2002 : 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.

September 20, 2002 :Notification of acceptance (two reviewers)

October 18, 2002 : Submission of final papers (Format files available on the web site)
