Weareverydelightedto presentthis LNCS volume,the proceedingsoftheSixth International Conference on Simulated Evolution And Learning (SEAL 2006). SEALisaprestigiousinternationalconferenceseriesinevolutionarycomputation and learning. This biennial event was ?rst held in Seoul, Korea, in 1996, and then in Canberra, Australia (1998), Nagoya, Japan (2000), Singapore (2002), and Busan, Korea (2004). SEAL2006receivedarecord420papersubmissionsthisyear.After anext- sive peer review process involving more than 1100 reviews, the best 117 papers were selected by the programme committee to be presented at the conference and included in this volume, resulting in an acceptance rate of less than 30%. The papers included in this volume cover a wide range of topics in simulated evolution and learning: from evolutionary learning to evolutionary optimisation, from hybrid systems to adaptive systems, from theoretical issues to real-world applications. They represent some of the latest and best research in simulated evolution and learning in the world. The conference featured four distinguished keynote speakers: Karl Sigmund, Zbigniew Michalewicz, Han La Poutr´ e and Gary Yen. Karl Sigmund's talk was on The Evolution of Cooperation in Groups.  Zbigniew Michalewicz's talk was on Adaptive Business Intelligence.  Han La Poutr´ e's talk was on Learning Agents in Socio-economicGames.  Gary G. Yen's talk was on Adaptive Critics for Fault Tolerant Control . We were very fortunate to have such distinguished speakers giving talks at SEAL 2006 despite their busy schedules. Their presence at the conference was yet another indicator of the importance of SEAL on the international research map.
