---------------------------------------------=0A=0AEvoMUSART 2010 is the ei=
ghth European Event on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound,=
Art and Design. Following the success of previous editions and the growth =
of interest in the field, the main goal of EvoMUSART 2010 is to bring toget=
her researchers who are using biologically inspired techniques for artistic=
tasks, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing w=
ork in this area.=0A=0AEvoMUSART 2010 will be held from 7-9 April, 2010 in =
Istanbul, Turkey as part of the European Conference on the Applications of =
Evolutionary Computation, EvoApplications 2010.=0A=0AAccepted papers will b=

---=0A=0AThe papers should concern the use of bio-inspired techniques (Evol=
utionary Computation, Artificial Life, Artificial Neural Networks, Swarm I=
ntelligence, etc.) in the scope of the generation, analysis and interpretat=
ion of art, music, design, architecture and other artistic fields. Topics o=
