Book Description
The advent of powerful processing technologies and the advances in software development tools have drastically changed the approach and implementation of computational research in fundamental properties of living systems through simulating and synthesizing biological entities and processes in artificial media. Nowadays realistic physical and physiological simulation of natural and would-be creatures, worlds and societies becomes a low-cost task for ordinary home computers. The progress in technology has dramatically reshaped the structure of the software, the execution of a code, and visualization fundamentals. This has led to the emergence of novel breeds of artificial life software models, including three-dimensional programmable simulation environment, distributed discrete events platforms and multi-agent systems. This second edition reflects the technological and research advancements, and presents the best examples of artificial life software models developed in the World and available for users.

Book Description
This book presents software tools, environments and realities dealing with creation, imitation and analysis of artefactual, virtual, and living forms, written by those who personally design and produce software, hardware, and art installations in artificial life, simulated complex systems, and virtual worlds. This timely volume offers a nearly exhaustive overview and original analysis of major non-profit artificial life software packages. Topics include: - simulation of real and imaginary life forms and their evolution - self-organization - emergent behaviours - swarm intelligence - evolutionary robotics - agent-based simulations - adaptive, complex and biologically inspired ecosystems - creative computer art There has long been a need within the academic and research community for an informal introduction and guidance to modern software tools for modeling and simulation of life-like phenomena this book fills this gap and offers detailed reviews of contemporary software for artificial life for both professionals and amateurs.

Book Description
What Is Artificial Life Researchers in the subject of artificial life analyze systems that are related to natural life, its processes, and its evolution by employing simulations with computer models, robotics, and biochemistry. Artificial life is a subfield within the field of synthetic biology. Christopher Langton, a theoretical biologist from the United States, was the one who gave the field its name in 1986. In 1987, in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Langton arranged and hosted the very first symposium on the subject matter. There are three primary categories of artificial life, all of which get their names from the methods used to create them: soft, which comes from software; hard, which comes from hardware; and wet, which comes from biochemistry. Researchers who investigate traditional biology through the lens of artificial life do so by attempting to replicate parts of biological occurrences. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Artificial Life Chapter 2: Conway's Game of Life Chapter 3: Cellular Automaton Chapter 4: Evolutionary Computation Chapter 5: Swarm Intelligence Chapter 6: Multi-agent System Chapter 7: Agent-based Model Chapter 8: Artificial Chemistry Chapter 9: Artificial Development Chapter 10: Von Neumann Universal Constructor (II) Answering the public top questions about artificial life. (III) Real world examples for the usage of artificial life in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of artificial life' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of artificial life.

Book Description
Now in its third edition the Encyclopedia of Astrobiology serves as the key to a common understanding in the extremely interdisciplinary community of astrobiologists. Each new or experienced researcher and graduate student in adjacent fields of astrobiology will appreciate this reference work in the quest to understand the big picture. The carefully selected group of active researchers contributing to this work are aiming to give a comprehensive international perspective on and to accelerate the interdisciplinary advance of astrobiology. The interdisciplinary field of astrobiology constitutes a joint arena where provocative discoveries are coalescing concerning, e.g. the prevalence of exoplanets, the diversity and hardiness of life, and its chances for emergence. Biologists, astrophysicists, (bio)-chemists, geoscientists and space scientists share this exciting mission of revealing the origin and commonality of life in the Universe. With its overview articles and its definitions the Encyclopedia of Astrobiology not only provides a common language and understanding for the members of the different disciplines but also serves for educating a new generation of young astrobiologists who are no longer separated by the jargon of individual scientific disciplines. This new edition offers ~170 new entries. More than half of the existing entries were updated, expanded or supplemented with figures supporting the understanding of the text. Especially in the fields of astrochemistry and terrestrial extremophiles but also in exoplanets and space sciences in general there is a huge body of new results that have been taken into account in this new edition. Because the entries in the Encyclopedia are in alphabetical order without regard for scientific field, this edition includes a section “Astrobiology by Discipline” which lists the entries by scientific field and subfield. This should be particularly helpful to those enquiring about astrobiology, as it illustrates the broad and detailed nature of the field.
