ARTIFICIAL LIFE

人工生命于1993年秋季启动，通过使用计算（软件）、机器人（硬件）和/或物理化学（湿器）等工具进行综合或模拟，已成为交流有关显示自然生命系统行为特征的人工系统研究的科学信息的统一论坛。每一期都以对人工生命的前沿研究为特色，这些研究提高了我们对生活系统各个方面的知识水平，例如：人工化学与生命起源自我组装、成长和发展自我复制和自我修复系统与合成生物学感知、认知和行为体现和实施主义群体的集体行为进化与生态动力学开放性和创造性社会组织与文化演变社会和技术影响哲学与美学生物学、医学、商业、教育或娱乐的应用这本杂志塑造并记录了人造生命的发展，将生物学研究的视野扩展到我们所知的生命之外，并尽可能地扩展到生命的领域。

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 entertainmentThe journal shapes and chronicles the development of artificial life, extending the horizons of biological research beyond life-as-we-know-it and into the domain of life-as-it-could-be.
