Artificial life From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Artificial life , also known as alife , is the study of life through the use of human-made analogs of living systems. Computer scientist Christopher Langton coined the term in the late when he held the first "International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems" (otherwise known as Artificial Life I) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Artificial life researchers have often been divided into two main groups (although other groupings are possible): The strong alife position states that "life is a process which can be abstracted away from any particular medium". ( John Von Neumann ). Notably the position of Tom Ray who declared that his program Tierra was not simulating life in a computer, but was synthesizing it. The weak alife position denies the possibility of generating a "living process" outside of a carbon-based chemical solution. Its researchers try instead to mimic life processes to understand the appearance of single phenomena. The usual way is through an agent based model , which usually gives a minimal possible solution. That is: "we don't know what in nature generates this phenomenon, but it could be something as simple as..."

The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding of how life works. It is important to study life because the most interesting things in the world are the things that are alive. Living things grow into beautiful shapes and develop graceful behavior. They eat, they mate, they compete, and over the generations they evolve. In the planetary sense, societies and entire ecologies can be thought of as living organisms. In an even more abstract sense, our thoughts themselves can be regarded as benignly parasitic information viruses that hop from mind to mind. Life is all around us, and it would be valuable to have a better understanding of how it works. Investigators of the brand new field of artificial life, or

Interesting to watch. Schooling Fish 1.1.6 Download: Local Requires Cocoa This is a Boids like system where fish use basic rules about the motion of their neighbors to school. Contains some preset experiments for you to play with, or build your own. Fish Tank 1.2.1 Download: Local Requires Cocoa for source. This little program puts a fish tank on your screen, with the fishes swiming around at random, eating food that you can put in the tank, swiming through bubbles, avoiding each other.

Various CAS/ACE-related Websites and journals, magazines, and publishing companies are regularly consulted for additional reading suggestions. Overview: Many natural systems, and increasingly many artificial (man-made) systems as well, are characterized by apparently complex behaviors that arise as the result of nonlinear spatio-temporal interactions among a large number of components or subsystems. Examples of such natural systems include immune systems, nervous systems, multicellular organisms, ecologies, and insect societies. Artificial systems sharing this property include parallel and distributed computing systems, large-scale communication networks, artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, large-scale software systems, and economies. Such systems have recently come to be known as

e-den... artificial life in cyberspace... and its FREE An important feature of e-den is that users may link their own local digital world with similar worlds over the internet and thereby participate in the creation of a large, autonomous digital ecosystem with a multilevel food-chain. Users may even design and name their own species and then attempt to take over the e-den master grid. This site is intended as a reference for the e-den program and contains far more information than is needed to run the program. To be a part of the e-den master grid, just get hold of the free software, make your e-mail address available and press 'play' on the e-den toolbar a couple of times a week... As far as pets go, e-den organisms couldn't come cleaner or quieter so please, open up your PC to this brand new life form. For further information, e-mail Craig McColl. Combine my first and last names in one word (no underscore) and add @hotmail.com. The old e-mail address is no longer valid. UPDATE: Version 0.60 is the latest version, with some modifed metabolic parameters that encourage the survival of carnivores. Recent demo worlds available on the download page also include a sample carnivore species. I have made available a draft of the e-den syntax but be warned that this is only for the curious and is not necessary to run the software. You might want to look at the

LIFE 2.0 COMPETITION WINNERS LIFE 2.0 is the first international competition seeking to reward excellence in artistic creation that has embedded in it the practices of Artificial Life (A-life). We are looking for art works that are premised on the strategies of A-life research, its conceptual approaches as well as its methods of digital synthesis. At the end of this century we are facing redefined boundaries between humans, animals and inorganic life. Some of the markers which already signal our "post-human condition" are genetic interventions, simulations of evolutionary systems and emergent behaviours, nanotechnologies, surgical implants of machinic parts, the implementation of automated systems of data capture and control. We're interested in art that reflects upon the panorama of potential interaction between synthetic "life" and organic life, for example: - autonomous agents that shape and perhaps interpret the data-saturated environment we have in common. - portraits of intersubjectivity or empathy, shared between artificial entities and us. - intelligent anthropomorphising of the datasphere and its inhabitants.
