ECAL2007 - 9th European Conference on Artificial Life

September 10-14, 2007
Lisbon, Portugal

Call for Workshops and Tutorials
Submission deadline: November 30, 2006 | www.ecal2007.org
We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in  
conjunction with ECAL2007 and related to the conference topics.  
Prospective organizers should visit http://www.ecal2007.org for an in- 
depth description of the conference and are encouraged to contact the  
workshops and tutorials coordinator should any question come up.



ECAL2007 workshops and tutorials will be half-day or full day events  
scheduled for the first day of the conference, September 10, 2007.  
The proposals must be contained on a 1-2 pages long, plain text  
document, divided into two parts. The first part must consist of a  
title and brief description of the event, as considered suitable for  
the early posting on the conference website. It must include full  
contact information for the main organizer. The second part should  
include a rationale for the timeliness, importance, and relevance of  
the topic, as well as organizational details concerning the program  
committee, organizers and proposed format.



Accepted workshops must adhere to the common deadlines concerning  
submission, notification of acceptance and camera-ready copy of  
contributions as advertised for the main conference in its web site.  
The organizers of approved workshops will be responsible for  
promoting their event, for setting up its website, for the reviewing  
process, for collecting the camera-ready copies of accepted papers  
(which must comply with the format of the main conference papers) and  
for a summary paper covering the workshop material.



Workshop contributions will be distributed to conference attendees in  
CDROM format but will not appear in the conference proceedings  
published by Springer-Verlag. Workshop organizers are free to seek  
other ways for publishing the papers including journals’ special  
issues.
