We present a general method for evaluating and visualizing evolutionary dynamics of self-replicators using a graph-based representation for genealogy. Through a transformation from...
We demonstrate the evolution of simple embodied Genetic Regulatory Networks (GRNs) as real-time control systems for robotic and software-based embodied Artificial Organisms, and p...

An agent-based approach is used to explain the formation of vortex swarms in biological systems. The dynamics of the multiagent system is described by 3N coupled equations, modeli...
Building large complex minds is difficult because we do not understand what the necessary components are or how they should interact. Even if the components were known it is diffic...
Abstract. We investigate the construction of all the periodic structures or “ gliders ” up to now known in the evolution space of the onedimensional cellular automaton Rule 110...
This paper presents an adaptation of Luc Steels’s model of Category Formation and Language Sharing. The simple competitive learning algorithm is proposed as a more general means ...
A formal language approach for the specification of ALife models is presented. “Relational Growth Grammars” incorporate rulebased, procedural and object-oriented concepts. By ...

Populations of artificial organisms live in an environment in which light is cyclically present (day) or absent (night). Since being active during night is non-adaptive (activity c...
A method for evolving a developmental program inside a cell to create multicellular organisms of arbitrary size and characteristics is described. The cell genotype is evolved so th...
