چکیده
In this first chapter we give a brief overview over the historical origin of the relatively young field in science called Artificial Life. Besides which, we try to give the reader an idea of the controversial understandings of Natural Life and the comparatively straight-forward definition of Artificial Life. In the third part of this first chapter we introduce the main methodology used in Artificial Life “the synthetic approach” which can briefly be explained by the phrase “understanding by building”.
