Background and Topics

Artificial life (Alife) refers to models and simulations of living systems as they appear in nature as well as to possible alternative life forms and concepts that may not have occurred in natural evolution. ACAL is a biennial conference that was organised for the first time in 2003. It has become an exciting, interdisciplinary forum for innovative, emerging and sometimes exotic ideas associated with the computational and algorithmic concepts underlying living systems. The focus of ACAL 11 is on software-based and agent-based forms of artificial life. These are often associated with the areas of computational intelligence but may also include computational aspects of synthetic life in biochemistry. Artificial life concepts can occur on sub-cellular, cellular, cell assembly/network, organism, or society levels. ACAL11 invites high-quality papers relevant to artificial life where topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Adaptive Ecologies
