ECAL2009 - 10th European Conference on Artificial Life

Call for Proposals
******************

ECAL, European Conference on Artificial Life takes place every two years
since 1991. The previous editions were held in Brussels (1991), Paris
(1993), Granada (1995), Brighton (1997), Lausanne (1999), Prague (2001),
Dortmund (2003) Canterbury (2005) and Lisbon (2007).
The conference encompasses the large diversity of topics which is the
hallmark of the Alife scientific domain. For reference, you may have a look
at the website of the last edition in www.ecal2007.org.

A call for proposals for the organization of the 2009 edition is now
launched. Interested members of the alife community should send a 3 pages
proposal containing the identification of the organizing committee and main
organizer/s, the host institution, and all other information considered
relevant which may include - these are mere suggestions - the conference
format, any special thematic organization or focus, financial support, a
description of the venue, intended associated events, and every other
information that may contribute to the rationale for choosing that proposal.

The proposals must be sent by email, in pdf format, until the 15th of
October 2007, to ecal2009@ecal2007database.org.

The decision process will involve the organizers of previous editions and
the alife community al large. Current proposals and details about the
decision process will be later presented in www.ecal2007.org/proposals.htm
