چکیده
1 Aim We are looking for the appropriate mathematical and computational tools for describing, studying and understanding complex chemical systems. Especially the phenomena of self-organization, structure formation , (pre-biotic) evolution and information processing in chemical or chemical-like systems need to be investigated. A constructive artiicial chemistry provides an abstract model for a complex chemical system which consists of a potentially innnite number of diierent substances. This becomes possible through the implicit deenition of the reaction mechanism which relies on the structure of the interacting substances. The aim of the working group Artiicial Chemistries is to provide a forum for discussion and information exchange about artiicial chemistries and related systems. An artiicial chemistry is an artiicial system, which is similar to a chemical system. Bagley and Farmer write in 1]: An artiicial chemistry is a set of rules stating which catalyzed reactions occur and with what strength. Here, we describe an artiicial chemistry as a system which consists of the following three parts:

متن کاملCan Zipf Analyses and Entropy Distinguish between Artiicial and Natural Language Texts?
We study statistical properties of natural texts written in English and of two types of artiicial texts. As statistical tools we use the conventional and the inverse Zipf analyses, the Shannon entropy and a quantity which is a nonlinear function of the word frequencies , the frequency relative \entropy". Our results obtained by investigating eight complete books and sixteen related artiicial te...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic in Artiicial Intelligence Fuzzy Logic in Artiicial Intelligence
After a basic introduction of fuzzy logic, we discuss its role in artiicial and computational intelligence. Then we present innovative applications of fuzzy logic, focusing on fuzzy expert systems, with one typical example explored in some detail. The article concludes with suggestions how artiicial intelligence and fuzzy logic can beneet from each other.
