      abstract = {New research on the adaptive behavior of natural and  synthetic agents.The biannual International Conference on  the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior brings together  researchers from ethology, psychology, ecology, artificial  intelligence, artificial life, robotics, engineering, and  related fields to advance the understanding of behaviors  and underlying mechanisms that allow natural and synthetic  agents (animats) to adapt and survive in uncertain  environments. The work presented focuses on well-defined  models--robotic, computer simulation, and  mathematical--that help to characterize and compare various  organizational principles or architectures underlying  adaptive behavior in both animals and animats. The  proceedings of the eighth conference treat such topics as  passive and active perception, navigation and mapping,  collective and social behavior, and applied adaptive  behavior.},
