The hyphothesis is that the evolution of conferences can be modelled by SIS abstract machines. Each paper(topic) is a problem element. Each session is an enumeration of some papers(topics). Wrong papers(topics) will be eliminated. Special sessions will be the concentration of right papers(topics) picked by marking. Different conferences can influence each other through propagation and adaptation. We can test the concept on two conference series:

International Conferences on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering

International Conferences on Distributed Multimedia Systems

It would be interesting to introduce customized operators and design algorithms to detect different cycles.
