The Evolution Arti?cielle cycle of conferences was originally initiated as a forum for the French-speaking evolutionary computation community. Previous EA m- tings were held in Toulouse (EA'94), Brest (EA'95, LNCS 1063), N DEGREES?mes (EA'97, LNCS 1363), Dunkerque (EA'99, LNCS 1829), and ?nally, EA 2001 was hosted by the Universite de Bourgogne in the small town of Le Creusot, in an area of France renowned for its excellent wines.
