The water crisis is harmful effects on human life. Also one of the most problems in the human society is water resources management. In this study, site selection of most suitable areas for artificial recharge using Boolean model. Criteria used to select the most suitable area for artificial recharge included: infiltration, slope, aquifer thickness, aquifer quality.  The layers were produced an...

Artificial evolution refers to any procedure that uses the mechanism of Darwinian evolution to generate a product. While this definition encompasses the evolution of organic life forms by means of artificial selection (breeding of animals, plants, or microorganisms), artificial evolution commonly refers to the instantiation of evolution within a nonbiological medium. Artificial evolution is som...

life style and life expectancy of inhabitants have been affected by the increase of particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in diameter (pm10) in cities and this is why maximum pm10 concentrations have received extensive attention. an early notice system for pm10 concentrations necessitates an accurate forecasting of the pollutant. in the current study an artificial neural network was used t...

Graphics researchers are exploring a new frontier—a world of objects of much greater complexity than those typically accessible through geometric and physical modeling alone—objects that are alive. The modeling and simulation of living systems for computer graphics resonates with an emerging field of scientific inquiry called artificial life, or ALife, a discipline that transcends the tradition...

It was not until the late 1980s that the term ‘Artificial Life’ arose as a descriptor of a range of (mostly) computer based research practices which sought alternatives to conventional Artificial Intelligence methods as a source of (quasi-) intelligent behavior in technological systems and artifacts. These practices included reactive and bottom-up robotics, computational systems which simulated...

What is the ontological status of Artificial Life systems? This question admits two interpretations. The first asks whether and to what degree Artificial Life systems could potentially be considered ‘alive’ in the sense that we take naturally occuring biological systems to be. The second has to do with what sort of role Artificial Life systems occupy in scientific inquiry. In this paper, we inv...

Foundational controversies in artificial life and artificial intelligence arise from lack of decidable criteria for defining the epistemic cuts that separate knowledge of reality from reality itself, the genetically coded synthesis of proteins. The highly evolved cognitive epistemology of physics requires an epistemic cut between reversible dynamic laws and the irreversible process of measuring...

The fusion of Virtual Reality and Artificial Life technologies has opened up a valuable and effective technique for research in the field of dynamic archaeological reconstruction. This paper describes early evaluations of simulated vegetation and environmental models using decentralized Artificial Life entities. The results demonstrate a strong feasibility for the application of integrated VR a...
