Artificial Life - an Introduction. Artificial Life is a the name for a collection of various disciplines. It is about the study of non organic organisms, of life like behaviour beyond the creation of nature. In the quest of behavioural biologists to understand the behaviours of nature and computer scientists to create new and better programs, paths increasingly crossed. Research of different kinds can, in many cases, lead to unifying knowledge. Later on I will be looking at some of the people involved with artificial life and the work they have done. Artificial Life, increasingly called aLife by its disciples, is about the emergent properties . An emergent property is created when something becomes more than the sum of its parts. The most extreme example of an emergent property we know of is life on this planet. We are morethan the sum of our parts. Half a human does not work without the other half, but as a whole we are capable of very complex behaviour. Artificial Life is an attempt to explain existing life as well as creating something new. It should not be confused with Artificial Intelligence ; the two fields have only a few topics in common.

Researchers in artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial life (A-Life) make their living by modelling, copying or adapting systems from biology. The combination of human ingenuity and the explosion in computer power has created a host of creations that take as their starting point anything from human intelligence and emotions to genetic inheritance and evolution. "Traditional" AI grew out of efforts to crack enemy codes in the Second World War. It aimed to capture human intelligence by following vast lists of rules programmed into a computer. Today, this approach is best known for creating Deep Blue, the computer that beat the chess world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. But this strategy has serious limitations because it seems unlikely to produce anything that really resembles human intelligence. Instead, a new wave of AI is slowly making its mark. It relies to a large extent on coaxing complex behaviours from the interaction of simple components. So, for example, networks of artificial brain cells can learn and recognise patterns. Already such neural networks are advising financial wizards about investing their money and helping doctors to diagnose cancer.

Index Description News Screenshots Mailing List ... Credits Visit this website's sourceforge page "When man wanted to fly, he first turned to natural example - the bird - to develop his early notions of how to accomplish this difficult task. Notable failures by Daedlus and numerous bird-like contraptions (ornithopters) at first pointed in the wrong direction, but eventually persistence and the abstraction of the appropriate knowledge (lift over an airfoil) resulted in successful glider and powered flight. In contrast to this example, isn't it peculiar that when man has tried to build machine to think, learn and adapt he has ignored and largely continues to ignore one of nature's most powerful examples of adaptation, genetics, and natural selection?" (David Goldberg) Description This program is an attempt to emobdy the rules that are found in artificial life. artificial life is a subset of artificial intelligence. Artificial Life is the representation of biological phenomenon on the computer. A well known field of this is "Cellular Automata". This is basically just the simulation of cells. They live, they reproduce, they move, and they die. A good simulation that embodies this is "Conway's Game of Life". This program is similiar to "Conway's Game of Life" but yet it is very different. It takes "Conway's Game of Life" and applies it to a society (human society). This means there is a very different (and much larger) ruleset than in the original game. Things need to be taken into account such as the terrain, age, sex, culture, movement, etc.

HAL - Hardware Artificial Life Unfortunately, your browser does not support Java. A Java applet is the central focus of this page. You're encouraged to try again using a Java-aware browser. A version of this applet using Sun's Java plug-in is available here Introduction This applet displays a cellular automata substrate capable of supporting evolving, self-reproducing organisms which are capable of universal computation. The applet is fully interactive, allowing you to apply selection based on organisms visual characteristics using a variety of implements. Selection may also applied automatically. Currently the built in selection methods are for size and shape only. The cellular automata uses a strict von-Neumann neighbourhood and is based on an innovative, multi-layered design. The whole architecture is designed to be implemented on massively parallel hardware. Central to HAL's design is the use of fine-grained massive parallelism which, on appropriate hardware, should allow maximum possible performance to be reached. Note: if you're playing with wiping out organisms manually you'll probably want to have the 'No selection at all' checkbox ticked - this causes all cells to be born pregnant and removes some constraints which abort malformed offspring.

58. Www.alife.org: What Is Artificial Life? What is artificial life? The term artificial life is used to describe research intohumanmade systems that possess some of the essential properties of life. http://alife6.alife.org/intro.html

What is Artificial Life? by Chris Adami and Titus Brown The term "Artificial Life" is used to describe research into human-made systems that possess some of the essential properties of life. As it turns out, there are many such systems that meet this criteriondigital, test-tube, and mechanicaland these can be used to perform experiments aimed at revealing the principles and the organization of living systems on Earth as well as elsewhere. This effort is truly interdisciplinary and runs the gamut from biology, chemistry and physics to computer science and engineering. While a large part of Artificial Life is devoted to understanding life as we know it - that is, life on earth - a significant effort concerns the search for principles of living systems which are independent of a particular substrate. Thus, Artificial Life also considers life "as it could be", exploring artificial alternatives to a carbon-based chemistry. Artificial Life is often described as attempting to understand high-level behavior from low-level rules; for example, how the simple rules of Darwinian evolution lead to high-level structure, or the way in which the simple interactions between ants and their environment lead to complex trail-following behavior. Understanding this relationship in particular systems promises to provide novel solutions to complex real-world problems, such as disease prevention, stock-market prediction, and data-mining on the Internet. The construction of living systems out of non-living parts is clearly the most ambitious of all the areas of Artificial Life. At present, this subfield is split into two largely independent endeavors: the creation of life using the classical building blocks of nature (carbon-based life) and the creation of life using the same principles but a different medium for implementation: the computer. The former explores the possibility of "RNA worlds" by attempting to construct self-replicating molecules; the latter, by simulating simple populations of self-replicating entities, examines the abilities and characteristics of different chemistries in supporting life-like behavior. Thus, both the biochemical and the computational approaches seek to shed light on the compelling question of the origin of life.
