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Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work to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 in IEEE format. 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and unpublished research on all aspects of Artificial Life and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.
