Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals for ALIFE X

The 10th International Conference on the Simulation and Synthesis of
Living Systems

School of Informatics, Indiana University, Bloomington 

http://alifex.org  

We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials for ALIFE X 
to be held in Bloomington, Indiana, June 3-6, 2006.  Proposals should 
include a brief description (1-2 paragraphs) of the topic and 
objectives of the session, as well as a list of potential presenters. 
Visit <http://alifex.org/> for an up-to-date description of the 
conference.  The workshops and tutorials will be held on June 3. 
Workshops are typically full-day events with 7-12 speakers.

Workshop proposals will usually be 1-2 pages and should include a 
rationale for the timeliness, importance, and relevance of the topic, 
as well as organizational details concerning the program committee, 
organizers, and format.  Tutorial proposals should describe the 
content material covered and intended audience.

The due date for all proposals is February 1, 2006, and notification 
of acceptance will be given by March 1, 2006.  Proposals received 
after February 1 will be considered as time and space permit.  If a 
workshop proposal is accepted, camera-ready papers are due April 15, 
2006, and should be in the same format as the conference papers. 
 Workshop papers will be distributed to conference attendees in a 
Workshops Proceedings, but will not appear in the MIT Press book 
based on the conference proceedings.  Workshop organizers are free to 
independently arrange journal special issues.  Leaders of accepted 
tutorials are expected to provide either a paper covering the 
material, or a set of formatted notes not exceeding 20 pages by April 
15, 2006.

Proposals should be in plain text.  Proposals and questions
