                               Call for Papers

    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.

    PAPER SUBMISSION

    Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work to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 acceptable.

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    unpublished research on all aspects of Artificial Life and Complex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