The scope of AIS ranges from modelling and simulation of the immune system through to immune-inspired algorithms and engineering solutions. In recent years, algorithms inspired by theoretical immunology have been applied to a wide variety of domains, including computer security, fault tolerance, data-mining and optimisation. Increasingly, theoretical insight into aspects of artificial and real immune systems has been sought through mathematical and computational modelling and analysis. The 9th International Conference on AIS (ICARIS) aims to build on the success of previous years to provide a forum for AIS researchers in academia and industry to present and discuss their latest advances. In addition to peer-reviewed papers, ICARIS will present a range of plenary lectures and tutorials to inspire and facilitate both the computer scientist and immunologist in their work. To encourage dialogue with the theoretical and clinical immunology communities, ICARIS 2010 will again adopt an (optional) extended abstract submission for the immune modelling stream. Full papers are welcome, but extended versions of abstracts will not be required. All accepted abstracts will be published alongside full papers in the proceedings. STREAMS The conference programme will be partitioned into three streams * Theoretical Stream This stream is for papers describing theoretical aspects of AIS, excluding theoretical immunology. This includes (but is not limited to) mathematical modelling of algorithms, convergence analysis, empirical investigation into algorithm performance and complexity analysis. To make sure the paper appeals to the widest possible audience, the mathematics should be clearly presented, and the paper should discuss the practical implications of any theoretical results. * Applied Stream This stream is for papers describing the application of AIS to computational and engineering problems. The problem domain should be clearly explained, detailing why it is challenging and why AIS are a suitable methodology to use. Experiments should be carefully explained, with the expectation that appropriate statistical analysis of results will be used to help draw conclusions. Where possible, the approach taken should be compared with alternative strategies. * Immune Modelling Stream This stream is for work detailing models and simulations of real and artificial immune systems. Authors are asked to be mindful of the inter-disciplinary nature of the forum when presenting their work. Extended abstracts or full papers are invited for submission. Both will undergo the same review process for quality and relevance. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission 24th March 2010 Review Rebuttal Period 13th -- 17th April 2010 Final Decision 20th April 2010 Camera Ready Copies 30th April 2010 SUBMISSIONS Full papers should not be longer than 14 pages of LNCS, and extended abstracts for the modelling stream not more than 3 pages. Overly long submissions may be rejected at the reviewers discretion. All submissions should follow the formatting guidelines detailed by Springer http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs Following the reviews, a consultation period will be held, where authors will have 1 week to respond to reviewers comments if they wish. This is designed to increase the quality of papers, and remove any misunderstandings that may happen as part of the review process. See conference website for more submission details. LOCATION This year's ICARIS will be held in Scotland's historic capital, Edinburgh. A city with an international reputation in cultural events -- the ICARIS conference is squeezed between the International Film Festival and the Fringe, the biggest arts and comedy festival in the world.

Please forward this call responsibly. Important Dates --------------- Due to popular demand, we have extended the abstract and paper submission deadline. * April 9, 2010: Full paper/abstract submission deadline * May 7, 2010: Notice of acceptance for full papers * 7 May 2010 May 31, 2010: Camera ready deadline * 19-23 August 2010: Conference dates Overview -------- It is a great pleasure for the Center for Fundamental Living Technology (FLinT) at University of Southern Denmark (SDU) to host the 12th International Conference on Artificial Life. The conference will be organized around the theme of identifying and synthesizing the critical properties of living and life-like systems (e.g., self-replication, self-assembly, self-organization, metabolism, adaptation, evolution). The meeting will reflect all of the main areas of artificial life research, including "wet" systems based on carbon chemistry, "soft" systems realized just in software, and "hard" systems consisting of autonomous robotic agents, as well as a variety of social and technical systems that embody the critical properties of living systems. The conference will have broad interdisciplinary interest, because "living" processes are found virtually everywhere. It has been a decade since the last organized effort to identify the key open problems in artificial life. So, another important goal of the workshop is to review progress on the open problems and re- evaluate what are the key open problems today. Some sessions in the conference will be devoted to detailed discussion of featured subjects in all areas of artificial life. A comprehensive list of organized sessions can be found on the official conference website http://alifexii.org/themes/. Additional sessions will be formed in response to received submissions. In addition, a poster session will give the opportunity to discuss selected works peer-to- peer. In this manner, we hope the conference can increase both the depth and breath of the scientific work presented. The conference will be held in Odense, one of the oldest cities of Denmark. As Denmark's third-largest city, it offers a mixture of night- life, beautiful street-scapes, great shopping opportunities and a rich cultural heritage. Prospective participants will have two tracks for participating in the conference: 1. submitting a paper to be presented at the conference and published in the conference proceedings (tentatively to be published by MIT Press), 2. submitting an abstract for a presentation or poster at the conference, All submissions will be subject to peer review, and submissions to tracks 1 and 2 have an equal chance of being accepted as presentations. Revised and expanded versions of excellent presentations at the conference will be placed on a fast-track for submission to the Artificial Life journal. Please stay tuned for the call for conference submissions and submission deadlines. Paper/Abstract Format --------------------- There are two options for submission: either full paper format or abstract format. Full papers have an 8 page maximum length, while abstracts are limited to 500 words. Every submission will be subject to full peer review. All accepted submissions will be allocated an oral presentation slot with no distinction being made between the two submission formats. All formatting guidelines (including word and latex style files) and submission instructions are available on the conference submission page. Publication ----------- Every accepted full-paper and abstract submission will be published by MIT Press in a single online open-access proceedings volume. The best 15-20 papers will have the opportunity to be published in special issues of the MIT Press journal Artificial Life.
