Artificial Life

期刊简介：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 lifeSelf-assembly, growth, and developmentSelf-replication and self-repairSystems and synthetic biologyPerception, cognition, and behaviorEmbodiment and enactivismCollective behaviors of swarmsEvolutionary and ecological dynamicsOpen-endedness and creativitySocial organization and cultural evolutionSocietal and technological implicationsPhilosophy and aestheticsApplications to biology, medicine, business, education, or entertainment.

【译文】《人工生命》杂志自1993年秋季创刊以来，已成为展示自然生命系统行为特征的系统研究科学信息的统一论坛。通过计算（软件）、机器人（硬件）和/或物理化学（湿件）手段的综合或模拟，该杂志每期都介绍关于人工生命的前沿研究，这些研究推进了我们对生命系统各个方面的知识，如：人工化学与生命的起源、自组装、生长和发育、自我复制和自我修复、系统和合成生物学、感知、认知和行为、具身化和活化主义、群体集体行为、进化与生态动力学、开放性和创造力、社会组织和文化进化、社会和技术影响、哲学和美学、应用于生物学、医学、商业、教育或娱乐。
