ALife Meets Web: Lessons Learned

Arti cial life might come to play important roles for the World Wide Web, both as a source of new algorithmic paradigms and as a source of inspiration for its future development. New Web searching and managing techniques, based on arti cial life principles, have been elicited by the striking similarities between the Web and natural environments. New Web interface designs, based on arti cial lif...

Genetic Algorithms and Artiicial Life

Genetic algorithms are computational models of evolution that play a central role in many arti cial-life models. We review the history and current scope of research on genetic algorithms in arti cial life, using illustrative examples in which the genetic algorithm is used to study how learning and evolution interact, and to model ecosystems, immune system, cognitive systems, and social systems....

Limitations of Scienti c Ontology

Arti cial life is a new multi disciplinary science which is emerging from established practices in arti cial intelligence computational biology and cybernetics It is argued in this paper that conventional scienti c con cepts of being and existence i e ontology which underpin most of our attempts to create arti cial life and intelligent systems are inadequate to deal with these issues It is argu...
