Artificial Life XI
The Eleventh International Conference on the Simulation and Synthesis of
Living Systems
August 5-8, 2008
Winchester, UK
www.alifexi.org
OVERVIEW
Artificial life investigates the fundamental properties of living
systems through simulating and synthesizing biological entities and
processes in artificial media. Summer 2008 will see the international
Alife conference hosted by the University of Southampton, UK, bringing
the meeting to Europe for the first time in its 21-year history. Over
the last two decades, some of the highly speculative ideas that were
discussed at the field's inception have matured to the extent that new
conferences and journals devoted to them are being established:
synthesising artificial cells, simulating massive biological networks,
exploiting biological substrates for computation and control, and
deploying bio-inspired engineering are all now cutting-edge practice.
The ALIFE XI conference provides an opportunity for those working across
these topics to get together and exchange ideas and results. To this
end, the conference will present a selection of the best current work in
the field, highlight new directions for investigation, and present
high-profile keynote speakers.
Papers are welcome in all areas of the field. Several artificial life "themes" have been proposed as live research topics around which conference sessions may organize. Please see www.alifexi.org/themes for full details.
There are two options for submission: either full paper format or
abstract format. See website for details
