Artificial Life, launched in the fall of 1993, has become the unifying forum for the exchange of scientific information on the study of artificial systems that exhibit the behavioral characteristics of natural living systems, through the synthesis or simulation using computational (software), robotic (hardware), and/or physicochemical (wetware) means. Each issue features cutting-edge research on artificial life that advances the state-of-the-art of our knowledge about various aspects of living systems such as:
Artificial chemistry and the origins of life
Self-assembly, growth, and development
Self-replication and self-repair
Systems and synthetic biology
Perception, cognition, and behavior
Embodiment and enactivism
Collective behaviors of swarms
Evolutionary and ecological dynamics
Open-endedness and creativity
Social organization and cultural evolution
Societal and technological implications
Philosophy and aesthetics
Applications to biology, medicine, business, education, or entertainment.
