It'd be nice if someone here presented at these meetings.
Dear colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to be involved in the organization of the
'simulation and synthesis of living systems' conference to be held here in
Boston next year. Personally, I have enjoyed tremendous benefits from
opportunities for cross-disciplinary work between evolutionary biology and
evolutionary computation/artificial life and I am happy to invite you to
participate in this exchange in the upcoming conference.
Richard Watson.

Call for Papers
ARTIFICIAL LIFE IX
**************************
The Ninth International Conference on the
Simulation and Synthesis of Living Systems
Boston, USA, 12-15 September 2004
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JAN 30th 2004
http://www.alife9.org
---
Artificial life is the interdisciplinary enterprise investigating the
fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and
synthesis of life-like processes in artificial media. The Artificial Life
IX conference will showcase the best current work in this area of
research, highlight promising new avenues of investigation, provide
leading edge workshops, and present top keynote speakers. All authors of
conference papers are encouraged to explain how their work sheds light on
the fundamental properties of living systems and makes progress on
important open questions. Paper submissions (6 pages single spaced) are
welcome in all areas of the field, including:
* Origin of life, self-organization, self-replication,
artificial chemistries
* Development and differentiation
* Evolutionary and adaptive dynamics, evolutionary games,
coevolution
* Communication, cooperation and collective behavior
* Simulation and synthesis tools and methodologies
* Mathematical and philosophical foundations and
implications of ALife
* Applications of ALife technologies
* Robots and agents, evolutionary robotics
* New and creative syntheses in ALife
For a full list of topics see: http://www.alife9.org/cfp.htm
Both oral and poster presentations will be published in a single volume by
MIT Press. ALife 9 will also include a series of workshops and tutorials,
which you are invited to propose. The conference web page, www.alife9.org,
will provide the most current information about the meeting and venue.
Conference Chair: Dr. Jordan Pollack (Brandeis University)
Program Committee Co-Chairs: Dr. Mark Bedau (Reed College), Dr. Phil
Husbands (Sussex University), Dr. Takashi Ikegami (University of Tokyo),
