Description |
|
| The seventh European Conference on Artificial Life (ECAL-2003) will bring together scientists and engineers from different disciplines such as Physics, Computer Science, Life and Social Sciences and all types of engineering in a common attempt to investigate complex systems from the class we call living systems. Application of Alife technology in different fields will provide another important topic of the conference. Following the past highly successful ECAL in Prague, ECAL-2003 will be held in Germany for the first time. With the advent of powerful simulation tools ECAL-2003 is a primary meeting place for exchange of ideas on understanding and simulating life. The conference will be held in Dortmund, Germany, in an old industrial building now turned museum for social and cultural history of the region. Conference Topics Conference topics include but are not limited to research in * Origin of Life * Self-organization and Self-replication * Artificial Chemistry * Computational and Systems Biology * Cellular and Neural Systems * Collaborative Systems * Evolution and Development * Evolutionary and Adaptive Dynamics * Robotics and Autonomous Agents * Languages and Communication * Artificial Societies * Philosophical, Ethical, and Cultural Issues Tools for * Simulation Systems * Methodologies and ApplicationsImportant Dates Final camera-ready manuscripts: June 1st, 2003 Conference: September 14 - 17, 2003 Conference Format There will be three types of presentations: * Invited talks, given by internationally renowned scientists * Regular paper presentations * Poster session Workshops and tutorials will be offered before the main conference.
