This book regroups the articles that were presented at the ninth international Conferenceon the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior(SAB 2006)held at the It- ian National Research Council, Rome, on September 25-29, 2006. The objective of the biennial SAB conference is to bring together researchers in computer s- ence,arti?cialintelligence,alife,complexsystems,robotics,neurosciences,eth- ogy, evolutionary biology, and related ?elds so as to further our understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow natural and arti?cial animals to adapt and survive in uncertain environments. Adaptive behavior research is distinguished by its focus on the modelling and creation of complete animal-like systems, which however simple at the moment may be one of the best routes to understanding intelligence in n- ural and arti?cial systems. The conference is part of a long series that started with the ?rst SAB conference, which was held in Paris in September 1990, and was followed by conferences in Honolulu 1992, Brighton 1994, Cape Cod 1996, Zurich 1998, Paris 2000, Edinburgh 2002, and Los Angeles 2004. In 1992, the MITPressintroducedthe quarterlyjournalAdaptive Behavior nowpublishedby SAGE Publications. The establishmentofthe InternationalSocietyfor Adaptive Behavior (ISAB) in 1995 further underlined the emergence of adaptive behavior as a fully ?edged scienti?c discipline. The present proceedings are a compreh- sive and up-to-date resource of the latest progress in this exciting ?eld. The 35 papers and 35 poster summaries published here were selected from 140 submissions after a two-pass review process designed to ensure high and consistent overall quality.
