Dear Dana,
When are the evaluation dates of each steps in Proceedings ofInternational Conference on Artificial Life and Robotics (n.a. / 21887829)? By the way, I, by myself organized and performed former
Proceedings of International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics(n.a. / 2185-3797) since 1996 under the support of Japanese
Government. The name of symposium was changed to conference in2014. This fact can be evaluated or not. I would like to know it.
Please let me know it.
For your easy evaluation of CPCI Please see webs: http://aliferobotics.co.jp/ and http://icarob.org/.
By using username TR and password TR, you can see all
ICAROB2016, ICAROB2015,…, ICAROB1996 in the left hand side.
Best wishes,

History of ICAROB“The ICAROB conference resulted from the AROB-symposium whose firstedition was held in 1996 and the eighteenth and last edition in 2013. The AROB
symposium was annually organized by Oita University, Nippon Bunri University(NBU), and ALife Robotics Corporation Ltd. under the sponsorship of theScience and Technology Policy Bureau, the Ministry of Education, Science,Sports, and Culture (Monbusho), presently, the Ministry of Education, Culture,Sports, Science, and Technology (Monkasho), Japanese Government, Japan
Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Commemorative Organization
for the Japan World Exposition ('70), Air Force Office of Scientific Research,
Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AFOSR/AOARD), USA. I
would like to express my sincere thanks to not only Monkasho (annually fundsupport from 1996 to 2013) but also JSPS, the Commemorative Organization for
the Japan World Exposition ('70), and various other Japanese companies fortheir repeated support.
The old symposium was organized by International Organizing Committee ofAROB and was co-operated by the Santa Fe Institute (USA), RSJ, IEEJ, ICASE(Now ICROS) (Korea), CAAI (P. R. China), ISCIE, IEICE, IEEE (Japan Council),
JARA, and SICE. The old AROB-symposium expandd much by absorbing much
new knowledge and technologies into it.
This history and character of the former AROB symposiums are passed on thecurrent ICAROB conference and to this journal. From now on, ALife Robotics
Corporation Ltd. is in charge of management of both the conference and thejournal. The future of the ICAROB is brilliant from a point of view of yielding
new technologies to human society in 21st century.”
