The 6th International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems
The 13th International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems
Organized Session
Artificial Life
Nov. 20-24th 2012, Kobe, Japan
What's new
- Submission deadline was delayed to July 1 2012.
- The organized session website was created.
Overview
Artificial Life (ALife) is an
interdisciplinary field of research that aims to understand and apply
emergent dynamics of biological systems by synthesizing life-like behaviors
using artificial media such as computers, robots, molecules, and so on.
Especially, ALife studies have contributed to reconsider essential concepts
in various biological, social, and artificial systems such as emergence and
evolution of individuality, development, cognition, communication, language,
cooperation, biological/social relationships, and so on, which are not
straightforward to discuss using reductionism approaches.
The aim of this special session is to review latest experimental,
theoretical, and computational studies around ALife fields from both
scientific and engineering perspectives, and to provide an interdisciplinary
forum to exchange novel ideas among researchers.
Topics
Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following areas from
both scientific and engineering perspectives:
- Emergence and evolution of individuality, development, cognition,
communication, language, cooperation, social relationships
- Multi-agent systems
- Complex networks
- Evolutionary robotics
- Evolution of language
- Evolutionary computation
- Evolutionary art
- Cellular automata
- Artificial life
