ALIAwasatwo-dayevent,whichinvitedspecialistsfromacademiaandindustryto discussthelatestresearchandchallengesinthissub-fieldofartificialintelligence.Day 1 was opened by Prof. David Shepherd, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Research and Enter- priseatBangorUniversity.Thisfirstdaywasresearchfocused,withaseriesofchaired presentations, some of which were accepted for publication in this volume. The first day also included a keynote talk from Prof. Karl Tuyls on bio-inspired autonomous systems and robotics. Day2involvedvariousinvitedtalksfromthecommercialsector,discussingcurrent industry challenges in this field. This was chaired by HPC Wales in the morning, and New Computing Technologies (NCT) Wales in the afternoon. Both sessions involved workshops, allowing academia and industry to engage and interact. The review process was undertaken in two stages. The first round of submissions was for presentation at the main conference. There were 20 submissions, 12 of which were accepted for presentation. The second round of submissions gave the authors of acceptedpaperstimetorespondtothereviewers’comments,andaddressanyconcerns raised during the presentation. From this round, the committee decided to accept ten papers for the proceedings. The Organizing Committee would like to extend their thanks to Prof. Peter McBurney, of Kings College London, whose advice and recommendations during the planning of the event helped make the ALIA symposium a reality. TheALIA symposiumwassponsoredbyHPCWales,thenationalsupercomputing serviceprovider.HPCWalesalsohelpedsecuregrantsupportforday2viatheWelsh Government’s Collaborative Research and Innovation Support Program (CRISP). March 2015 Christopher J. Headleand Sponsor’s Message As part of a commitment to support the research objectives of the Welsh universities, wewerepleasedtopartnerwiththeorganizersoftheALIAsymposiumtosupportthe running of this event. In addition to sponsorship from ourselves, there was discretionary grant support via the Welsh Government’s Collaborative Research & Innovation Support Program (CRISP). Artificial life and intelligent agents is a highly interdisciplinary field of research, withapplicationsinmanyareasincludingrobotics,thecreativesector,andlifescience. It is in a constant state of development and growthand can have a strong requirement for access to high-performance computing (HPC); therefore we were excited to be involved in this event. HPCWalesisacompanyformedbetweentheuniversitiesandtheprivatesectorin Wales,andprovidesintegratedsupercomputingservicesforbusinessesandresearchers across Wales and beyond. Host to the UK’s largest distributed general purpose supercomputing network, HPC Wales offers access to some of the most advanced computing technology in the world, along with high-level training and customized support to exploit it effectively. HPC Wales’ distributed supercomputing network has a 17,000-core, 320-Tflop capacity and is the third largest civil public sector facility in the UK. The network includestwolargehubsinSouthWalesandfurthersiteswithinWelshuniversitiesand business centers.
