Artificial Life IV
This book brings together contributions to the Fourth Artificial Life Workshop, held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the summer of 1994.
Artificial Life
Consists of the proceedings of: 1987, Interdisciplinary Workshop on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems; 1990-1992, Artificial Life Workshop; 1994-1996, International Workshop on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems; 1998- , International Conference on Artificial Life.
Artificial Life V
In addition to presenting the latest work in the field, Artificial Life V includes a retrospective and prospective look at both artificial and natural life with the aim of refining the methods and approaches discovered so far into viable, practical tools for the pursuit of science and engineering goals. May 16-18, 1996 ยท Nara, Japan Despite all the successes in computer engineering, adaptive computation, bottom-up AI, and robotics, Artificial Life must not become simply a one-way bridge, borrowing biological principles to enhance our engineering efforts in the construction of life-as-it-could-be. We must ensure that we give back to biology in kind, by developing tools and methods that will ...
Unifying Themes in Complex Systems
In recent years, scientists have applied the principles of complex systems science to increasingly diverse fields. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. The Third International Conference on Complex Systems attracted over 400 researchers from around the world. The conference aimed to encourage cross-fertilization between the many disciplines represented and to deepen our understanding of the properties common to all complex systems.
Artificial Life VI
Since their inception in 1987, the Artificial Life meetings have grown from small workshops to truly international conferences, reflecting the fields increasing appeal to researchers in all areas of science.

Simplicity and Complexity in Games of the Intellect
"If it were necessary, for some curious legal reason, to draw a clear line between human and nonhuman--for example, if a group of australopithecines were to appear and one had to decide if they were to be protected by Fair Employment Laws or by the ASPCA--I would welcome them as humans if I knew that they were seriously concerned about how to bury their dead." In this witty and wise way, Lawrence Slobodkin takes us on a spirited quest for the multiple meanings of simplicity in all facets of life. Slobodkin begins at the beginning, with a consideration of how simplicity came into play in the development of religious doctrines. He nimbly moves on to the arts--where he ranges freely from dining...
Mutualism and Community Organization
During the past two decades, detailed information on the life of organisms has shown that mutualistic or commensalistic relations play important roles in biological associations, even among species sharing the same or similar resources. This volume on community ecology brings these mutualistic interactions into sharp focus. It describes synergistic reactions among living organisms, puts forward theoretical explanations, and explores their potential impact on community structure. The book highlights several contributions from noted Japanese ecologists whose valuable work is being made more widely accessible in this volume for the first time.
