ECAL 2015 - 13th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE

“Embodiment, Interaction, Conservation”

http://ecal2015.alife.org

The 13th European Conference on Artificial Life (ECAL 2015) will be held in  
York, United Kingdom, 20-24 July 2015, hosted by the York Centre for Complex 
Systems Analysis at the The University of York.

ECAL2015 will showcase a wide range of topics in Artificial Life, bringing 
together world-leading researchers to discuss the latest advances in 
Artificial Life.  Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary field, and as such 
welcomes submissions from across the spectrum of scientific and humanities 
disciplines, that consider the main conference themes of “Embodiment, 
Interaction, Conversation”. 

THE ECAL programme committee invite you to submit full papers (8 pages) or 
abstracts (1 page) in the area of Artificial Life.  All submissions will 
undergo a detailed peer review process.  Full papers will be reviewed for 
relevance, scientific and/or engineering quality, sound methodology and use 
of appropriate analysis techniques.  Abstracts will be reviewed for relevance 
and quality.

There are two options for submission: either full paper or abstract.  Note 
that the format is exactly the same for both options. The only 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  unpublished work
* Abstracts are limited to a 1-page length and can report on previously 
  published work, but offer a new perspective on that work

We encourage the use of LaTeX for the production of papers. Guidelines for 
submission can be found here: 
http://ecal2015.alife.org/submissions.html

Submission will be via the Easy Chair system.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecal2015

Papers and abstracts will be selected for oral or poster presentation, with 
no distinction being made between full papers and abstracts.
