Dear All,
 
This is the 2nd Call for Abstracts for the Eighth International Workshop on Guided Self-Organization (GSO-2016) to be held on July 7, 2016 at ALIFE XV in Cancun, Mexico:
http://guided-self.org/gso8/
 
The GSO Workshop will bring together invited experts and researchers in self-organizing systems, with particular emphasis on the information- and network-theoretic foundations of GSO and the information dynamics of complex systems.  The following topics are of special interest: information-theoretic measures of complexity, nonlinear dynamics, complex networks, information-driven self-organization (IDSO), applications of GSO to complex networks, distributed computation, machine learning, swarm intelligence, bio-inspired systems, computational neuroscience, systems biology, cooperative and modular robotics, etc.
 
Our keynote speakers:
- Prof Chris Adami (Michigan State University)
  http://adamilab.msu.edu/
- Prof Takashi Ikegami (University of Tokyo)

Submissions to the workshop are extended abstracts (one page). If interested in participating, please send an extended abstract (by May 29, 2016) by email to:
prokopenko.mikhail at gmail.com
 
The notifications are expected by June 10, 2016.  Authors of accepted submissions will present the content to the workshop. We expect that selected papers of GSO-2016 will be published in a special issue (research topic) of Frontiers of Robotics and AI, or Artificial Life journals.   Please consult above website for more information.
 
Best wishes,
Mikhail Prokopenko
