[alife] ALIFE 14 (New York City) - Call for Workshops/Tutorials

Call for Workshops/Tutorials

The ALIFE 14 Organizing Committee invites proposals for Tutorials and
Workshops to be held in conjunction with ALIFE 14.

If accepted, ALIFE will provide the onsite logistics (seminar rooms,
projectors, coffee breaks, and lunches) and links from the main
conference website. All other organizational issues – including
separate review process and proceedings publication, if any – are
taken care of by the workshop chairs. Therefore, any workshop-specific
requests from participants should be exclusively addressed to them,
not to the ALIFE committee. The internal organization of the satellite
workshops and tutorials (website, paper submission, invited talks,
proceedings, all deadlines except registration) is entirely left up to
their respective organizers. Participation in workshops and tutorials
requires conference registration.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Workshop/Tutorial proposal: January 15, 2014
Notification of Acceptance Workshop/Tutorial: February 1, 2014

Workshop/Tutorial Information and/or submission proposal:

WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ALIFE 14 workshops are intended to be forums to present and
discuss new approaches, visions, or critical reflections within a
research area. They provide an excellent opportunity to meet people
with similar interests, to be exposed to cutting-edge research and to
exchange ideas in an informal setting. The organizers of an
acceptedworkshop are responsible for its coordination and its
publicity (e.g., for sending out call for papers/abstracts), for
collecting and reviewing the papers/abstracts, and for maintaining a
webpage providing a list of accepted talks. The workshops are
typically half day long. The format can be decided by the organizers
who are encouraged to plan interactive sessions.

TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

ALIFE 14 tutorials will be presented by domain experts to cover
current topics relevant to artificial life researchers and
practitioners. Each tutorial will be 3 hours long, then we encourage
to include into the tutorial also demos and interactive activities.
Accepted tutorial’s slide sets will be published on ALIFE 14 website.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Each tutorial/workshop proposal should include:

1) title of the workshop/tutorial
2) name(s) and affiliation(s) of the organizer(s)/inspector(s), with
relative contact details
3) a short CV of the organizer(s)/instructor(s)
4) a brief description (half-page) of the workshop/tutorial topics

Only for workshops:
5) potential target participants and audience
6) roughly approximated number of participants
7) rough estimate of the number of talks

All proposals must be sent to: workshops.alife2014 at gmail.com

Looking forward to your submissions.
