[Titus Brown]

*************************************************************

               Call for the Organization of the
  IXth European Conference on Artificial Life - ECAL 2007

*************************************************************


17 years ago the term "Artificial Life" was coined at a seminal
workshop at the Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, NM, USA. 13 years
ago, in 1991, the  first European Conference on Artificial Life
was held in Paris. Since  then, alternatively with the Interna-
tional Conference on Artificial Life traditionally held on even
years, ECAL toured Europe on odd years: 1993, Brussels, Belgium;
1995, Granada, Spain; 1997,  Sussex,  England;  1999,  Lausanne,
Switzerland;  2001,  Prague,  Czech  Republic;  2003,  Dortmund,
Germany. Finally, this year, for its  15th  year  of  existence,
the European Conference in Artificial Life will  take  place in
Canterbury, England.


We are now looking for the organizers of the 9th edition to be
held in 2007. If you wish to be considered, please send
BEFORE THE 30TH SEPTEMBER, a (max.) 2-page summary indicating:


- Who are the Organizers? (including evidence of activity
in the field and ability to host an event of this size).
- Where is the conference to be held and why this is a good
place?
- What is your focus and motivation for hosting ECAL 2007?
