IEEE ALIFE 2017
2017 IEEE Symposium on Artificial Life
http://www.ele.uri.edu/ieee-ssci2017/ALIFE.htm
as part of
2017 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2017)
Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii
Nov. 27-Dec. 1, 2017

Call for papers
Artificial Life is the study of the simulation and synthesis of living systems. In particular, this science of generalized living and life-like systems provides engineering with billions of years of design expertise to learn from and exploit through the example of the evolution of organic life on earth. Increased understanding of the massively successful design diversity, complexity, and adaptability of life is rapidly making inroads into all areas of engineering and the Sciences of the Artificial. Numerous applications of ideas from nature and their generalizations from life-as-we-know-it to life-as-it-could-be continually find their way into engineering and science.
IEEE ALIFE 2017 brings together researchers working on the emerging areas of Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive Systems, aiming to understand and synthesize life-like systems and applying bio-inspired synthetic methods to other science/engineering disciplines, including Biology, Robotics, Social Sciences, among others.
IEEE ALIFE 2017 will be a part of the 2017 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI 2017). IEEE SSCI 2017 plans to have 24 separate symposia, plus plenary sessions, tutorials, and more, all for one registration price.
Call for tutorials
Tutorial submissions should be made via the main SSCI tutorials website by March 10, however you are advised to liase with the organising committee of IEEE ALife beforehand when preparing a submission related to this symposium.
Publications
Accepted papers after peer-review will be published in the IEEE SSCI conference proceedings. Submissions will be made via the main IEEE SSCI website.
