Artificial Life VIII

Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Artificial Life
Edited by Russell Standish, Mark A. Bedau and Hussein A. Abbass

The term "artificial life" describes research into synthetic systems that possess some of the essential properties of life. This interdisciplinary field includes biologists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, geneticists, and others. Artificial life may be viewed as an attempt to understand high-level behavior from low-level rules—for example, how the simple interactions between ants and their environment lead to complex trail-following behavior.
