[alife] ALIFE 2019: Call for proposals to host conference

[Charles Ofria]

 The International Society for Artificial Life (ISAL) is calling for
proposals to host the 2019 International Conference on Artificial Life.
This conference is a merger of the previous ALIFE and ECAL conference
series with no geographic constraints on where the conference will be held.

Interested parties should inform the ISAL Secretary (secretary at alife.org)
of their intention to submit a proposal as soon as possible. Proposals
should be emailed to the ISAL Secretary by 1 Sept 2017.

Proposals are intended to be brief and to be used as a starting point for
further discussions with the ISAL board.  A typical proposal will be 2-4
pages and include a high-level description of the following items:

 * Key members of the organizing committee
 * The conference theme
 * Conference location (and likely facilities available at the target
conference venue)
 * Approximate conference dates and duration
 * Any other considerations (such as special events, external funding to be
solicited, potential keynote speakers, or local attractions)

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

With best regards,

Charles Ofria
ISAL President
