Dear Artificial Life Friends,

the fourth German workshop on Artificial Life (GWAL 2000) will take
place at Schloss Thurnau near Bayreuth (
http://www.bitoek.uni-bayreuth.de/gwal2000/wz-thurnau.html ).

The workshop is intended as a forum for scientists who are in the
Artificial Life community (in the broadest sense), or would like to
get into contact with it. See
http://www.bitoek.uni-bayreuth.de/gwal2000/aim.html for a detailed
description of workshop aims.

We are happy to have two prominent scientists as invited speakers at
GWAL, the neurophysiologist Prof. Terrence Deacon (Harvard Medical
School) and the philosopher Dr. Thomas Metzinger (Univ. of California,
San Diego).

Oral Presentations, computer demonstrations, or simply participation are
equally possible.

Online registration is very easy using
http://www.bitoek.uni-bayreuth.de/gwal2000/registration.html

If you would like to present something, just include an abstract of
your topic. Full papers are not required.

However, you will be invited to contribute to the workshop proceedings
with your manuscript at a later stage (details will be given during
the workshop).

Please distribute this information to all colleagues which might be
interested but are not on our mailing list.

Reports on errors occurring in the registration process, comments of all
kinds, and all GWAL2000-related questions should be addressed to
gwal2000 at bitoek.uni-bayreuth.de

Looking forward seeing you in April,
best regards,
Holger Lange
