CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
ECAL 2013 - 12th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE
http://www.dmi.unict.it/ecal2013/
The ECAL 2013 Organising Committee invites proposals for Tutorials and
Workshops to be held in conjunction with ECAL 2013 in Taormina, Italy,
September 2-6, 2013.
The internal organization of the satellite workshops and tutorials
(website, paper submission, invited talks, proceedings, all deadlines
except registration) is entirely left up to their respective
organizers. ECAL provides the onsite logistics (seminar rooms,
projectors, coffee breaks, and lunches) and links from the main
conference website. All other organizational issues - including
separate review process and proceedings publication, if any - are
taken care of by the workshop chairs. Therefore, any workshop-specific
requests from participants should be exclusively addressed to them,
not to the ECAL committee.
* IMPORTANT DATES
Submission Workshop/Tutorial proposal: January 31, 2013
Notification of Acceptance Workshop/Tutorial: February 15, 2013
Workshops Information and/or submission proposal:
workshops.ecal2...@dmi.unict.it
Tutorials Information and/or submission proposal:
tutorials.ecal2...@dmi.unict.it
* WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
The ECAL 2013 workshops are intended to be forums to present and
discuss new approaches, visions, or critical reflections within a
research area. They provide an excellent opportunity to meet people
with similar interests, to be exposed to cutting-edge research and to
exchange ideas in an informal setting. The organizers of an accepted
workshop are responsible for its coordination and its publicity (e.g.,
for sending out call for papers/abstracts), for collecting and
reviewing the papers/abstracts, and for maintaining a webpage
providing a list of accepted talks. The workshops can be half day or a
full day long. The format can be decided by the organizers who are
encouraged to plan interactive sessions.
* TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
ECAL 2013 tutorials will be presented by domain experts to cover
current topics relevant to artificial life researchers and
practitioners. Each tutorial will be 3 hours long, then we encourage
to include into the tutorial also demos and interactive activities.
Accepted tutorial's slide sets will be published on ECAL 2013 website.
* SUBMISSION PROCESS
Each tutorial/workshop proposal should include:
1) title of the workshop/tutorial
2) name(s) and affiliation(s) of the organizer(s)/inspector(s), with
relative contact details
3) a short CV of the organizer(s)/instructor(s)
4) a brief description (half-page) of the workshop/tutorial topics
Only for workshops:
5) potential target participants and audience
6) roughly approximated number of participants
7) rough estimate of the number of talks
All workshop proposals must be sent to: workshops.ecal2...@dmi.unict.it

Looking forward to your submissions.
Best wishes,
Pietro Lio', Orazio Miglino, Giuseppe Nicosia, Stefano Nolfi, and
