Artificial life is the interdisciplinary enterprise investigating the
fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and
synthesis of life-like processes in artificial media. The Artificial Life IX
conference will showcase the best current work in this area of research,
highlight promising new avenues of investigation, provide leading edge
workshops, and present top keynote speakers. All authors of conference
papers are encouraged to explain how their work sheds light on the
fundamental properties of living systems and makes progress on important
open questions. Papers are welcome in all areas of the field, including:

* Origin of life, self-organization, self-replication,
  artificial chemistries
* Development and differentiation
* Evolutionary and adaptive dynamics, evolutionary games,
  coevolution
* Applications of ALife technologies
* Robots and agents, evolutionary robotics
* Communication, cooperation and collective behavior
* Simulation and synthesis tools and methodologies
* Mathematical and philosophical foundations and
  implications of ALife
* New and creative syntheses in ALife

Both oral and poster presentations will be published in a single volume by
MIT Press. ALife 9 will also include a series of workshops and tutorials,
which you are invited to propose. The conference web page, www.alife9.org,
