Artificial Life 3 Artificial Life

Artificial Life is the study of all phenomena of the living world through their reproduction in artificial systems. We argue that Artificial Life models of evolution and development offer a new set of theoretical and methodological tools for investigating Piaget's ideas. The concept of an Artificial Life Neural Network (ALNN) is first introduced, and contrasted with the study of other recent ap...

Artificial Life

The notion of artificial life can take many diverse forms, and in this article we will focus on three aspects: modelling the development of structure in living systems, the quest to create artificial intelligence, and the emerging field of synthetic biology. All three topics reveal surprising, and sometimes remarkably deep, connections between the apparently disparate disciplines of biology and...

Artificial Life

Contemporary artificial life (also known as “ALife”) is an interdisciplinary study of life and life-like processes. Its two most important qualities are that it focuses on the essential rather than the contingent features of living systems and that it attempts to understand living systems by artificially synthesizing extremely simple forms of them. These two qualities are connected. By synthesi...

Artificial Life Environment - A Framework For Artificial Life Simulations

Robust artificial life via artificial programmed death

We propose a novel approach to self-regenerating continuously-operating systems. Such systems provide best-case solutions in security surveillance or decision making centers. We introduce HADES, a self-regenerating system whose agents acknowledge their “citizenship” or faithfulness to the good of the system and are able to monitor their environment. When agents of HADES find irregularity in the...
