Connectionists: [CFP] ALIFE 2025 - International Conference on Artificial Life (Kyoto, Japan)

[Imy Khan]

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to submit your work to the annual Conference on Artificial Life (ALIFE 2025), taking place in Kyoto, Japan, and online from 6-10 October 2025.

Artificial life research focuses on understanding, replicating, and extending the fundamental principles of life. Much of this research involves creating artificial systems that exhibit life-like behaviors.
This year’s conference theme, Ciphers of Life, encourages participants to explore the many ways that life encodes information, creates internal languages, and interacts in encrypted ways with its environment.

We encourage submissions across all areas of Artificial Life research, including (but not limited to):


  *
Complex dynamical systems and networks
  *
Artificial chemistry, origins of life, computational biology
  *
Synthetic biology, protocells, and wet artificial life
  *
Ecology and evolution
  *
Bio-inspired, cognitive and evolutionary robotics, swarms
  *
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
  *
Perception, cognition, behavior
  *
Social systems, artificial and alternative societies
  *
Evolution of language, computational linguistics
  *
Artificial Life-based art
  *
Artificial Life in education


Key Submission Deadlines:

Full Papers and Summaries: May 11th, 2025
Late Breaking Abstracts: September 8th, 2025

Please note that the submission types differ significantly from previous years - visit the ALIFE 2025 website <https://2025.alife.org/submit> for full details on the different submission types.

REMINDER: Papers accepted into the Artificial Life Journal (MIT Press) are automatically accepted into the ALIFE 2025 program as oral presentations.
Regular registration is still required for in-person attendance, however online participants can attend their session for free.
‍
IMPORTANT: All the submission are meant to undergo double-blinded review process. Please do not write authors' names until paper is accepted, furthermore redact any identifying information, such as the authors, their institutions, and acknowledgements from the uploaded PDF.
