Book Description
How high-level behaviors arise from low-level rules, and how understanding this relationship can suggest novel solutions to complex real-world problems such as disease prevention, stock-market prediction, and data mining on the Internet. The term "artificial life" describes research into synthetic systems that possess some of the essential properties of life. This interdisciplinary field includes biologists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, geneticists, and others. Artificial life may be viewed as an attempt to understand high-level behavior from low-level rules -- for example, how the simple interactions between ants and their environment lead to complex trail-following behavior. An understanding of such relationships in particular systems can suggest novel solutions to complex real-world problems such as disease prevention, stock-market prediction, and data mining on the Internet. Since their inception in 1987, the Artificial Life meetings have grown from small workshops to truly international conferences, reflecting the field's increasing appeal to researchers in all areas of science.

Book Description
May 16-18, 1996 · Nara, JapanDespite all the successes in computer engineering,adaptive computation, bottom-up AI, and robotics, Artificial Life must not become simply a one-waybridge, borrowing biological principles to enhance our engineering efforts in the construction oflife-as-it-could-be. We must ensure that we give back to biology in kind, by developing tools andmethods that will be of real value in the effort to understand life-as-it-is.Artificial Life V marksa decade since Christopher Langton organized the first workshop on artificial life -- a decadecharacterized by the exploration of new possibilities and techniques as researchers have sought tounderstand, through synthetic experiments, the organizing principles underlying the dynamics(usually the nonlinear dynamics) of living systems. In addition to presenting the latest work in thefield, Artificial Life V includes a retrospective and prospective look at both artificial andnatural life with the aim of refining the methods and approaches discovered so far into viable,practical tools for the pursuit of science and engineering goals.Complex Adaptive Systemsseries

Book Description
Examining the construction, manipulation and re-definition of life in contemporary technoscientific culture, this book aims to re-focus concern on the ethics rather than on the 'nature' of artificial life.

Book Description
TheArti?cialLifetermappearedmorethan20yearsagoinasmallcornerofNew Mexico, USA. Since then the area has developed dramatically, many researchers joining enthusiastically and research groups sprouting everywhere. This frenetic activity led to the emergence of several strands that are now established ?elds in themselves. We are now reaching a stage that one may describe as maturer: with more rigour, more benchmarks, more results, more stringent acceptance criteria, more applications, in brief, more sound science. This, which is the n- ural path of all new areas, comes at a price, however. A certain enthusiasm, a certain adventurousness from the early years is fading and may have been lost on the way. The ?eld has become more reasonable. To counterbalance this and to encourage lively discussions, a conceptual track, where papers were judged on criteria like importance and/or novelty of the concepts proposed rather than the experimental/theoretical results, has been introduced this year. A conference on a theme as broad as Arti?cial Life is bound to be very - verse,but a few tendencies emerged. First, ?elds like ‘Robotics and Autonomous Agents’ or ‘Evolutionary Computation’ are still extremely active and keep on bringing a wealth of results to the A-Life community. Even there, however, new tendencies appear, like collective robotics, and more speci?cally self-assembling robotics, which represent now a large subsection. Second, new areas appear.
