Introduction

The AHS 2017 conference will bring together researchers from academia and industry and government specialists to communicate the latest research results, share experiences and discuss new applications. The conference has grown from the precursor NASA/DoD Conference on Evolvable Hardware, held between 1999 and 2005.

Adaptation occurs in all living systems and is a desired characteristic of most artificial systems. Adaptation reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in the context of internal or external changes (such as uncertainty and variation during fabrication, faults and degradation in the field), changes in the operational environment, incidental or intentional interference, different users and preferences, modifications of standards and requirements, or trade-offs between performance requirements and available resources.

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
