Topics
------
ALIFE 2019 will showcase a wide range of topics in Artificial Life, bringing together world-leading researchers to discuss the latest advances in the synthesis and simulation of living systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects of Artificial Life:
* Complex dynamical systems and networks
* Artificial chemistry, origins of life, computational biology
* Synthetic biology, protocells and wet artificial life
* Ecology and evolution
* Bio-inspired, cognitive and evolutionary robotics, swarms
* Artificial intelligence and machine learning
* Perception, cognition, behavior
* Social systems, artificial and alternative societies
* Evolution of language, computational linguistics
* Philosophy of mind, philosophy of science
* Artificial-life-based art
* Artificial Life in education
For this edition of the conference the special theme is
"How Can Artificial Life Help Solve Societal Challenges?"
We are inviting especially contributions that explore how our inter- disciplinary and constantly self-innovating discipline can bring together a set of skills and perspectives with a potential to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times, for example in the areas of sustainable technologies, bioremediation, urban development, environmental planning, alternative societies a.s.o.
Submission format
-----------------
There are two options for submission: either full paper or extended abstract. Note that the format is exactly the same for both options.
The difference resides in the number of pages and type of contents:
* Full papers have an 8-page maximum length and should report on
new, unpublished work.
* Extended abstracts are limited to a 2-page length and can report
on previously published work.
Please see our submission website for author detailed instructions, manuscript templates, and submission instructions:
https://2019.alife.org/submissions/papers-abstracts/.
All submissions will undergo a detailed peer review process. Full papers will be reviewed for timeliness, novelty, scientific quality, sound methodology and use of appropriate analysis techniques. Abstracts will be reviewed for timeliness, novelty, and quality.
Both papers and extended abstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentation, without distinction between full papers and extended abstracts.
Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be published by MIT Press as open-access electronic proceedings.
NOTE: At least one author of every accepted paper or poster must be registered before 31 May 2019, or the paper/poster will be withdrawn.
In line with our theme, we are committed to organize ALIFE 2019 in a sustainable manner and aim to reduce the C02 footprint associated with the conference. Therefore, we encourage online participation and establish the possibility to present contributions remotely. ALIFE 2019 will provide the necessary infrastructure for video presentations, and virtual participation. We reserve the option of introducing local participation quotas to ensure that the ecological impact of the conference remains within a limit.
Workshops and Special Sessions
------------------------------
ALIFE 2019 will have a number of special sessions. The submission and review process for special sessions is the same as for the main conference. If you are submitting to a special session you will be given the opportunity to select it during the submission process.
In addition, there will be workshop sessions. Workshop papers are managed separately from the main conference. To submit a paper to a workshop, go to its own website, which will be listed on the Workshops page of the conference.
