چکیده
In 1993, as my freshman summer project, I wrote the first version of the Avida platform for digital evolution. This is an environment in which simple self-replicating computer programs evolve and adapt. Since 1993, the Avida platform has become a major model for investigating evolutionary principles. Of particular note, the BEACON NSF STC at MSU is partly centered around using Avida for research in evolution. There are now several dozen researchers working with Avida. Avida has helped legitimize the role of bottom-up computational models in evolutionary research.
