ARTIFICIAL LIFE
The methods of Artificial Life (AL) are now well known to computer scientists (see Langton 1995 for an overview), but they have rarely been applied to paleontology. The key idea in current AL research is to simulate some aspects of natural evolution in the computer. This is done for two main reasons: (1) AL experiments can give insight into natural processes, and (2) AL techniques can be used for practical purposes in engineering. Besides setting up the basic mechanisms of evolution (mutation, reproduction and selection), the most important element in the design of an AL system is the specification of the fitness criteria; that is, the method for determining the viability of a newly grown individual. Some examples of such criteria are: 1) the ability of simulated ants to find food, avoid obstacles and cooperate; 2) the ability of competing individuals to fight for resources and to eat, but not be eaten. "Ecosystems" with several trophic levels can emerge in such experiments ( Yaeger 1994 ); 3) the ability of a computer virus to penetrate computer security systems; and 4) the ability of a computer program to solve a given problem. Note that an "individual" is not necessarily a simulated biological entity, but can just as well be a simulated machine or computer program with properties that are to be optimized. "Artificial Life" (AL) is becoming one of the most dynamic and promising fields of computer science, partially displacing the position previously held by "Artificial Intelligence" (AI).

What is breve?
breve is a free, open-source software package which makes it easy to build 3D simulations of decentralized systems and artificial life. Users define the behaviors of agents in a 3D world and observe how they interact. breve includes physical simulation and collision detection so you can simulate realistic creatures, and an OpenGL display engine so you can visualize your simulated worlds breve is available for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows in the download section.
Write Your Own Simulations
breve simulations are written in an easy to use language called steve. The language is object-oriented and borrows many features from languages such as C, Perl and Objective C, but even users without previous programming experience will find it easy to jump in. More information on the steve language can be found in the documentation section.
Interface With Your Own Code
breve features an extensible plugin architecture which allows you to write your own plugins and interact with your own code. Writing plugins is simple and allows you to expand breve to work with existing projects. Plugins have been written in breve to generate MIDI music, download web pages, interact with a Lisp environment and interact with the "push" language. To develop your own plugins, you'll need to download the plugin SDK from the download section.

Abstract:
Artificial Life (AL) extends the field of biology by allowing us to study living forms other than those occurring naturally on Earth. In this way, AL bears the same relationship to biology that synthetic chemistry does to chemistry. Some of the most significant advances in AL have been in the area of synthetic evolutions within computers. One of the major currents in this work has been to move towards systems which evolve freely within the digital medium, like the evolution by natural selection in the carbon medium that generated life on Earth. The primary objective of this work is to provoke digital evolution to generate complexity within the digital medium, comparable in magnitude to the complexity of organic life.

artificial life systems to underpin the emergence of the transitions. I Introduction 4 The Emergence of Evolutionary Transitions in artificial life
http://www4.tpg.com.au/users/jes999/evtran.htm
EVOLUTIONARY TRANSITIONS AND ARTIFICIAL LIFE
John Stewart ( jes999@tpg.com.au
A later version of this paper was published in the journal Artificial Life Abstract A major challenge for artificial life is to synthesize the
evolutionary transitions that have repeatedly formed differentiated
higher-level entities from cooperative organizations of lower-level
entities, producing the nested hierarchical structure of living processes.
This article identifies the key elements and relationships that must be
incorporated or synthesized in an artificial life system if these
transitions are to emerge. The processes currently included in artificial
life systems are unable to provide an adequate basis for the emergence of
the complex cooperative organization that is essential to the transitions. A new theory of the evolution of cooperative organization is developed that points to the additional processes that must be included in artificial life systems to underpin the emergence of the transitions. I Introduction A distinctive feature of living entities is that they are organized as nested hierarchies: entities are composed of smaller units that are in turn composed of still smaller units, and so on. For example, human social

Introduction
This applet displays a cellular automata substrate capable of supporting evolving, self-reproducing organisms which are capable of universal computation. The applet is fully interactive, allowing you to apply selection based on organisms visual characteristics using a variety of implements. Selection may also applied automatically. Currently the built in selection methods are for size and shape only. The cellular automata uses a strict von-Neumann neighbourhood and is based on an innovative, multi-layered design. The whole architecture is designed to be implemented on massively parallel hardware.
Central to HAL's design is the use of fine-grained massive parallelism which, on appropriate hardware, should allow maximum possible performance to be reached. Note: if you're playing with wiping out organisms manually you'll probably want to have the 'No selection at all' checkbox ticked - this causes all cells to be born pregnant and removes some constraints which abort malformed offspring.

http://www.csh.rit.edu/~cyke/alife-def.html
Introduction to
Artificial Life
Biology is the scientific study of life - in principle anyway. In practice, biology is the scientific study of life on Earth based on carbon-chain chemistry. There is nothing in its charter that restricts biology to carbon-based life; it is simply that this is the only kind of life that has been available to study. Thus, theoretical biology has long faced the fundamental obstacle that it is impossible to derive general principles from single examples. Without other examples, it is difficult to distinguish essential properties of life - properties that would be shared by any living system - from properties that may be incidental to life in principle, but which happen to be universal to life on Earth due solely to a combination of local historical accident and common genetic descent. In order to derive general theories about life, we neeed an ensemble of instances to generalize over. Since it is quite unlikely that alien lifeforms will present themselves to us for study in the near future, our only option is to try to create alternative life-forms ourselves - Artificial Life - literally ``life made by Man rather than by Nature.'' Artificial Life (``AL'' or ``Alife'') is the name given to a new discipline that studies "natural" life by attempting to recreate biological phenomena from scratch within computers and other "artificial" media. 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.

Introduction
"Artificial Life" (Alife) is used to delineate systems that exhibit some properties of life. Research in Alife ranges from analysing and understanding life and nature - at least as we may believe it is - to modelling biological systems or solving biological problems. Alife is a large interdisciplinary research area covering research from computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, sociology, and psychology. The Second Australian Conference on Artificial Life, (ACAL05), will be held in Sydney, 5-8 December 2005. ACAL is held in conjunction with The 18th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI2005). The first ACAL was held in 2003 in Canberra, Australia. A selection of the best papers at the conference will be published as a special issue in a journal.

What is A-Life? Simply put, Artificial Life is a broad field of work in which attempts are made to simulate or recreate one or more natural processes. Most A-Life work is done on computers, but in some cases it's done in the real world with chemicals or just on paper. Some examples of natural systems that are often modelled are: predator/prey balances, darwinistic evolution, neural networks, behaviour and learning, ecological interactions, flocking, self organization, emergent behaviour or complexity, reproduction, and genetics, to name a few. A-Life's practical purpose can be two-fold, to use technology to understand and improve biological sciences, and to use biological understanding to improve technological science. But beyond the practical, insights into life, nature, and the universe can be gleamed even from the most simple model, experiment, or simulation. Ed T. Toton III

Since the summer before I entered college, artificial life (or "A-Life") has been one of my interests. In general, I find all of the "fringe" computer topics interesting, including fractals, AI, digital music, 3D graphics, etc. But A-Life holds a certain appeal. There's something particular compelling about the concept of having life exist within the computer, something that evolves and develops it's own behaviour or morphology, something that goes beyond the initial design created by the programmer.

An important feature of e-den is that users may link their own local digital world with similar worlds over the internet and thereby participate in the creation of a large, autonomous digital ecosystem with a multilevel food-chain. Users may even design and name their own species and then attempt to take over the e-den master grid. This site is intended as a reference for the e-den program and contains far more information than is needed to run the program. To be a part of the e-den master grid, just get hold of the free software, make your e-mail address available and press 'play' on the e-den toolbar a couple of times a week... As far as pets go, e-den organisms couldn't come cleaner or quieter so please, open up your PC to this brand new life form. For further information, e-mail Craig McColl. Combine my first and last names in one word (no underscore) and add @hotmail.com. The old e-mail address is no longer valid. UPDATE: Version 0.60 is the latest version, with some modifed metabolic parameters that encourage the survival of carnivores. Recent demo worlds available on the download page also include a sample carnivore species. I have made available a draft of the e-den syntax but be warned that this is only for the curious and is not necessary to run the software. You might want to look at the
