BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 'Artificial Life' Comes Step Closer
Researchers at Rockefeller University make small synthetic vesicles that resemble a crude kind of biological cell.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4104483.stm

Extractions: The vesicles pushed out a green fluorescent protein Researchers at Rockefeller University in the US have made the first tentative steps towards creating a form of artificial life. Their creations, small synthetic vesicles that can process (express) genes, resemble a crude kind of biological cell. The parts for their "vesicle bioreactors", as they call them, all come from diverse realms of life. The soft cell walls are made of fat molecules taken from egg white. The cell contents are an extract of the common gut bug E. coli , stripped of all its genetic material. This essence of life contains ready-made much of the biological machinery needed to make proteins; the researchers also added an enzyme from a virus to allow the vesicle to translate DNA code. When they added genes, the cell fluid started to make proteins, just like a normal cell would.

Evolution Of Complexity - HOME
selfemergence and artificial life, genetic algorithms, genetic programming - essays and links
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/1402/

Extractions: Complexity, Self-Emergence, Evolution, Artificial Life I am interested in complexity, self-emergence, ALife. I think these issues will profile the future of computing. A system based on evolution might be able to generate smart designs (i.e. Nature). In the future, when the greedy random number needs of the genetic algorithms can be satisfied by chaotic series via quantum properties of micro design, the speed of evolutionary systems will be beyond our imagination, far surpassing the speed that can be possible by massive parallelism only. The challenge is there waiting to be solved. I will be pleased if you comment on my thoughts about facing this challenge, which is also my PhD thesis work at Bogazici University Computer Engineering Department If you are looking for papers to read then there are many an essay on the evolution of complex systems many papers , and hyper essays on complexity and evolution.

Extractions: This application was inspired by "o3 - Functional Programming: Practical Assignment 2 " where a complete description of how a Turmite functions can be found. Word Evolver "Word Evolver" by Alexander Kasprzyk is a version of the classic "monkeys bashing on a typewriter". Allowing the user to set the population size and choose whether the "monkeys" breed sexually or asexually, it is an excellent tool to investigate the adaptive advantages crossover offers over simple asexual reproduction. Langton's Ant v1.3.1 "Langton's Ant" programmed by Alexander Kasprzyk, based on the classic CA by Christopher Langton. One of the simplest cellular automata is "Langton's Ant", named after its inventor, Christopher Langton. The "ant" effects the state of the world each iteration by moving forwards one square.

Boids (Flocks, Herds, And Schools: A Distributed Behavioral Model)
artificial life meets Entertainment Lifelike Autonomous Agents (1995) by Pattie Maes Complexity The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos
http://www.red3d.com/cwr/boids/

Extractions: (more information about this applet (and others) is available) In 1986 I made a computer model of coordinated animal motion such as bird flocks and fish schools. It was based on three dimensional computational geometry of the sort normally used in computer animation or computer aided design. I called the generic simulated flocking creatures boids . The basic flocking model consists of three simple steering behaviors which describe how an individual boid maneuvers based on the positions and velocities its nearby flockmates: Separation : steer to avoid crowding local flockmates Alignment : steer towards the average heading of local flockmates Cohesion : steer to move toward the average position of local flockmates Each boid has direct access to the whole scene's geometric description, but flocking requires that it reacts only to flockmates within a certain small neighborhood around itself. The neighborhood is characterized by a distance (measured from the center of the boid) and an angle

Extractions: Artificial Life I've always had an interest in how the mind works , how computers work, and how computers might be made to act more like the mind. After attending the first "Artificial Life" conference in 1987 (named and organized by Chris Langton, then at Los Alamos), I finally began to think I might actually have a clue as to how one might pursue that subject to its logical conclusion. The field of Artifical Life, or ALife, or Theoretical Biology (as Chris sometimes wishes he had named it) is about many thingsnot just a more bottom-up, practical approach to artificial intelligence, though that is the portion of the field that excites me the most. ALife embraces studies of the origin of natural life, chaos (and emergent order), catalysis and self-catalysing systems, "wet" evolution as a method for designing molecules, genetic algorithms, and much more. After attending a few of the seminal workshops and conferences on the subject, I wrote up limited or extensive notes. The notes from the first conference are the sketchiest, but I'm placing all of the reports here, mostly unedited, as partial documentation of some events that I consider truly significant in the development of human thought.
Artificial Life
Links to new research and emerging issues.
http://geocities.com/goldenziby/alife.html

Extractions: ARTIFICIAL LIFE Artificial Life is devoted to a new discipline that investigates the scientific, engineering, philosophical, and social issues involved in our rapidly increasing technological ability to synthesize life-like behaviors from scratch in computers, machines, molecules, and other alternative media. By extending the horizons of empirical research in biology beyond the territory currently circumscribed by life-as-we-know-it , the study of artificial life gives us access to the domain of life-as-it-could-be . Relevant topics span the hierarchy of biological organization, including studies of the origin of life, self-assembly, growth and development, evolutionary and ecological dynamics, animal and robot behavior, social organization, and cultural evolution. This is not a concept that is yet ready to be rigorously defined. The most concise, but still far from rigorous definition, is simply: life as synthesized by man rather than by nature. One of the basic tenets of this still-infant field is the belief that life is not unique to its biological (and, as yet, only known) form, but is a more general property of the organization of matter. Artificial life explores life as it could be as opposed to life as we know it to be. ( www.irit.fr/COSI/glossary/fulllist.php

http://www.generation5.org/content/2000/alife.asp

Extractions: By James Matthews Printable Version Artificial Life, or ALife, is the attempt to get computers to accurately model the ways and practises of nature. As you can tell from this definition, not only is ALife a large domain, it overlaps very much with Artificial Intelligence. So much so, in fact, that ALife deals with various aspects of AI (such as genetic algorithms), and AI deals with various aspects of Alife (such as flocking). Alife and AI coexist together very well. 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). The best definition of CA I've found so far is as follows: "...A regular spatial lattice of "cells", each of which can have any one of a finite number of states. The state of all cells in the lattice are updated simultaneously and the state of the entire lattice advances in discrete time steps. The state of each cell in the lattice is updated according to a local rule which may depend on the state of the cell and its neighbors at the previous time step..."
Evolving AI-Life By Natural Selection (Alastair Channon's Artificial Life)
Alastair Channon's artificial life project.
http://www.channon.net/alastair/

Extractions: Research Overview Of The Area Software Selected Publications ... Contact Details A new approach to creating intelligence, rooted in Artificial Life and Natural Selection rather than traditional AI. Computational natural selection, in which the phenotype to fitness mapping is an emergent property of the evolving environment and competition is biotic rather than abiotic, is a paradigm that aims towards the creation of open-ended evolutionary systems. Within such an environment, increasingly complex behaviours can emerge. Darwinism is the most powerful and unifying theory in biology. Underlying it is the principle of 'descent with modification' (evolutionary change), that species are not fixed: that new species arise from those which already exist, some of which become extinct. The theory can be summarised as four statements of fact and an inference (cf. chp. 12 of Gould's "Life's Grandeur" / "Full House"): All organisms tend to produce more offspring than survive.

http://douweosinga.com/projects/artificiallife

Extractions: Home Blog Projects Google Hacks ... About Artificial Life or A-Life is one of my greatest fascinations. In fact I started programming to simulate the start of life on a BBC computer. It never got too far, the BBC computer being a thousand times too slow for what I wanted. But I learned to program better and of course computers became more than a thousand times as fast. What I'm searching for in the projects below is spontaneous creativity. The programs set rules for the animals they simulate. Normally programs are predictable because of these rules. With artificial life, you hope that the complexity of the programs is of an order that new things will happen, things you could not predict before. Of course, this doesn't succeed always, but at least you'll usually get pretty pictures to look at. Quite a few of the Artificial Life programs below are written in Delphi, Borlands Pascal version for RAD development under Windows. I find that Delphi yields results for these kind of applications fastest and it the programs self also run pretty fast. But it means that in order to try the programs, you'll need a download. I'm thinking of porting some of them to java. Anyway, source is included, so if you really want a java version, go ahead and let me know Vendian Vendian is an a-life simulation. Every creature runs a BASIC-like program and the program evolves. The best program wins. You can write your own programs or see evolution work.
