Topic: Alife


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  Alife (CE) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alife is a town and commune in the province of Caserta (Campania), Italy.
Alife was subsequently ruled by several baronal families of the Kingdom of Naples, who did little to improve its conditions.
Alife started to recover only after the abolition of feudalism in 1806; in 1861 it became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Italy.

 Welcome to Zooland!
Alife complements the traditional analytic approach of traditional biology with a synthetic approach in which, rather than studying biological phenomena by taking apart living organisms to see how they work, one attempts to put together systems that behave like living organisms.

 ALIFE manual   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
ALIFE is an editor and parser for the FLUKA geometry and detector definitions written in the Tcl/Tk programming language.
ALIFE allows to make the region definition, assignments to the region and the assignment of the region to detectors and scoring options at the same place in the code rendering the use of reference numbers obsolete.
ALIFE saves the name of the parent file in the header of the new file, so that at the time the renaming has been completed the region data can be translated (having `No region data' deselected).

Alife and AI each can be seen as a superset of the other.
Alife subsumes AI Alife subsumes AI insofar as the processes studied in Alife include the evolution of various kinds of more or less intelligent systems.
This is why Alife is relevant to engineering as well as to the study of naturally occurring and theoretically interesting examples of evolution.

 Generation 5: Artificial Intelligence Repository - ALife
Artificial Life, or ALife, is the attempt to get computers to accurately model the ways and practises of nature.
ALife looks at algorithms that can mimic nature and it ways -- cellular automata, simulation of group behaviour (ants, for example) -- whereas AI tends to look at mimicking (creating?) human intelligence.
A prime area of ALife is that of Cellular Automata (CA).

 Artificial life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artificial life, also known as alife or a-life, is the study of life, or more specifically the evolution of life, through the use of artificial models or artifacts.
Most commonly the term specifically refers to simulating life processes in a computer simulation, however wet alife, the study of artificially created proteins and other life related molecules, can be considered alife, too.
ALife has had a controversial history; John Maynard Smith criticized certain artificial life work in 1995 as "fact-free science".

Subdued and refined, the shop reflects a brand in its early stages of maturation, hopefully into something we can come to rely on for consistent ingenuity and quality in a field where neither is in abundance.

 Agent-Based Computational Economics and Artificial Life: A Brief Intro (Tesfatsion)
The establishment of alife as a distinct field of inquiry, however, must be traced to the first alife conference, organized in 1987 by Chris Langton at the Los Alamos National Laboratory; see Langton (1989).
Alife is the bottom-up study of basic phenomena commonly associated with living organisms, such as self-replication, evolution, adaptation, self-organization, parasitism, competition, cooperation, and social network formation.
Alife complements the traditional biological and social sciences concerned with the analytical, laboratory, and field study of living organisms by attempting to simulate or synthesize life-like behavior within computers, robots, and other man-made media.

 Theoria et Historia Scientiarum - Life and ALife: Interactions between Natural and Synthetic Biology
ALife is an interdisciplinary field of research that aims at studying life or life-like processes through computational modelling techniques and the simulation of real or theoretically possible living systems or ecosystems.
Alife scientists can use such models to test various hypotheses about the nature of life or cognition, or about complex process such as adaptation and learning.
In this special edition of Theoria et Historia Scientiarum, Life and Alife: Interactions Between Natural and Synthetic Biology, we propose to investigate foundational questions related to the interactions between (natural) biology and the synthetic-biological approach of Alife.

Before going into the details of alife, let us first discuss the disadvantages of AI that led to its fall, and which gave rise to a new breed of alife programs.
This is very important in alife programs, which may lose track of their goals, and fail.
Alife methodologies are also widely used in fields as diverse as management, economics, optimisation, and population dynamics.

I got hooked into the field of alife and swarm intelligence when I read Michael Crichton's superb novel Prey.
Whereas AI aims to create intelligence, alife aims to create an entity which is 'alive' in every sense of the word - an entity which is born, which needs resources to survive, which reproduces, and finally, dies.
An alife species, if made to evolve through successive generations, will evolve to be intelligent sooner or later.

 2 ALife: Hype or Science?
The guiding inspiration of ALife is to realise ``life-like'' phenomena in artificial media (especially computers), and thus both to improve our understanding of natural living systems and to open up entirely new technological opportunities for artificial living systems.
It is sometimes the case that ALife models are directly related to particular natural living phenomena; and in those case, claims arising from ALife research may be testable by comparison with empirical biological data.
It should be clear that, in principle at least, ALife can thus be just as ``scientific'' as its longer established ancestors; but equally, the practise and methodology of this synthetic kind of critical testing may need adjustment.

With a nod to Karl Sims’; classic Evolved Virtual Creatures, SodaRace uses the metaphor of a race to evaluate the ability of different models to navigate a random terrain.
This type of “hard science” approach to generative art (sometimes called “alife art”) was not represented at the Generator.x conference.
It could easily be argued that it has a longer lineage than the current style of visual abstractions, with artists like Vitorino Ramos, the aforementioned Paul Brown and Karl Sims producing strong work.
