Welcome to ECAL 2013!

Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary undertaking that investigates the fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and synthesis of biological entities and processes. It also attempts to design and build artificial systems that display properties of organisms, or societies of organisms, out of abiotic or virtual parts.

ECAL, the European Conference on Artificial Life, is a biennial event that alternates with the US-based Alife conference series.

We look forward to seeing you in Taormina - Italy!

Location

Taormina is a small town on the east coast of the insland of Sicily, and is one of the beautiful place in Italy. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century.
