[This announcement has been sent to multiple mailing lists. Apologies if you have received this email more than once.]
The ALIFE 2025 conference, to be held on 6-10 October in Kyoto, Japan, is looking for proposals for special sessions.
Special sessions will be specially-themed tracks in the main conference. The idea is to attract high-quality submissions on topics of particular interest to our community. We are particularly interested in sessions that will set new directions for future research and bring new voices into our community. These sessions will be part of the main conference and will run alongside other conference sessions.
Organizing a special session provides an opportunity to explore in depth a particular topic within the main conference, and to bring new ideas and new people into the ALife community. We are open to any ideas you might have that might create a buzz around your topic or the conference in general, such as advertising the session outside of the usual ALife community or holding panel or group discussions as part of the session.
Submissions to your session will go through the main conference review system. As a session organizer, you would set the topic of the session, attract submissions through whatever means you wish, and chair the session at the conference.
If you are interested in organizing a session, please submit this expression of interest using the following form: https://forms.gle/J45gbW7w8TtbuRmR9
Every special session proposal should include:
1. Title of the special session
2. Name(s) and affiliation(s) of the organizer(s) with contact details
3. A short CV of the organizer(s)
4. Why your session theme deserves special attention from the ALife community (about 150 words)
5. What you propose to do to support the session, such as advertising it or organizing (about 150 words)
Please note that special sessions are different from workshops. The main difference is that special sessions are part of the main conference - they share its review process and accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings. There will also be workshop sessions at ALIFE 2025, and a call for workshop proposals will be sent out separately.
We welcome session proposals on any topic.
The theme of the ALIFE 2025 conference is “Ciphers of Life.”
More details about the conference can be found at
https://2025.alife.org
For examples of special sessions at past ALIFE conferences, see https://2024.alife.org/special_sessions.html and https://2023.alife.org/programme/special-sessions/.
We would appreciate receiving expressions of interest as soon as possible, and by 21 February at the latest.
For any questions or clarifications, feel free to reach out to progr...@alife.org
Best regards,
Bert Chan - on behalf of the ALIFE 2025 Organizing Committee
