Evolvable Circuit is an emerging field that applies evolution to automate design and adaptation of physical reconfigurable and morphable structures such as electronic systems, antennas, MEMS and robots. Evolvable Circuit techniques enable self-reconfigurability, adaptability and learning by programmable devices and thus have the potential to significantly increase the functionality of deployable hardware systems. Evolvable Circuit is expected to have major impact on deployable systems for space systems and defense applications that need to survive and perform at optimal functionality during long duration in unknown, harsh and/or changing environments. It is also expected to greatly enhance the capability of systems that need modification, upgrade and learning without interrupting their operation.
In the field of cryptosystem, there is a growing interest for evolutionary cryptosystem which use evolutionary algorithm to produce ciphers. And many papers have been proposed. It shows that the evolutionary cryptosystem has a great potential to be implemented in many application domains.
The aim of this session is to bring together scientists from different backgrounds to discuss and exchange ideas about representational and reasoning aspects of evolvable circuit and evolutionary cryptosystem.
