· Conferences
- "Genetic Algorithms and Applications", plenary lecture at the WSEAS International Conferences MMACTEE, NOLASC, WAMUS 2003 held in December 29-31, 2003, Vouliagmeni, Athens, Greece.
· Current interests and activities
- Collaboration with the architect Dimitris Papanikolaou, inventor of the Integrated Building System UrbanKit which is based on an artificial embryogeny, revealed to the author an interesting field of application of evolutionary designing. The idea of "integrated" design and building, closely related to both systemic and biological paradigms, as well as projects based on this idea are presented in the website www.integratedbuilding.org. Relevant work of the author is included in the presentation.
- The author participates in the "Anaparastasis" group, which performs computer renderings and animations of urban, architectural and industrial design projects.
