List of 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 interdisciplinary 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 Guidelines
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- Full papers have an 8-page maximum length and should report on new, unpublished work.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.
