Important!!!
All oral presentations will be 15 minutes + 5 minutes Questions and Answers.
As the talk duration is relatively short, presenting authors are invited to bring a poster featuring their work that can serve
as basis for offline discussion of details.
Note: Poster spots are limited and will be given to the presenters upon on site registration until the available poster space is exceeded.

Panel Discussion

Ten years ago, the Alife community compiled a list of "Grand challenges for the artificial life community". This year's panel & plenary discussion assesses the progress on these challenges and attempts to revise these open key issues of artificial life.
The minutes of the discussion are hosted on PiratePad. Please add your comments!
