CALL FOR PAPERS

The First IEEE Conference on Artificial Life (IEEE-ALife'07) will be held in
the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort, Honolulu, USA, 1-5 April, 2007.

The IEEE-Alife'07 brings together researchers working on the emerging areas
of Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive Systems. In particular, the
conference focuses on Artificial life in silico including artificial
chemistry, multi-agent systems, and robotics; ant colony systems; biological
and evolutionary systems; evolutionary art, immune systems; neuro- biology
and neuro-computing; network theory; swarm intelligence; and other topics.
Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work to IEEE-ALife'07.
All papers will be subject to a peer review process. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings and the attendance of at least one
author of an accepted paper at the conference is a condition for
publications. The maximum number of pages is 8. Only PDF files are accepted.

PAPER SUBMISSION

We invite high quality technical papers on substantial, original, and
unpublished research on all aspects of Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive
Systems.
