The Italian community in Artificial Life and Evolutionary computation has grown remarkably in recent years, and this book is the first broad collection of its major interests and achievements (including contributions from foreign countries). The contributions in Artificial Life as well as in Evolutionary Computation allow one to see the deep connections between the two fields. The topics addressed are extremely relevant for present day research in Artificial Life and in Evolutionary Computation, which include important contributions from very well-known researchers. The volume provides a very broad picture of the Italian activities in this field. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Cognitive Dynamics in an Automata Gas (906 KB). Contents: Diffusion of Shapes (R S Shaw & N H Packard); FDC-Based Particle Swarm Optimization (A Azzini et al.); An Evolutionary Predictive Approach to Design High Dimensional Experiments (D De March et al.); Prefrontal Cortex and Action Sequences: A Review on Neural Computational Models (I Gaudiello et al.); Bio-Inspired ICT for Evolutionary Emotional Intelligence (M Villamira & P Cipresso); Cooperation in Corvids: A Simulative Study with Evolved Robots (O Miglino et al.); Distributed Processes in a Agent-Based Model of Innovation (L Ansaloni et al.); Imaginary or Actual Artificial Worlds Using a New Tool in the ABM Perspective (P Terna); Dynamics of Interconnected Boolean Networks with Scale-Free Topology (C Damiani et al.); Semi-Synthetical Minimal Cells (P Stano & P L Luisi); and other papers. Readership: Graduate students, academics and researchers in the field of complex systems, artificial intelligence and robotics.

Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation

Furio Suggi Liverani

Cellular Automata (CA), about to enter their fifties, are coming of age, seen by the breadth and quality of CA-related research carried out worldwide, as well as by the appearance of interesting applications to real world problems. The papers collected in this book, presented at ACRI 98 (Third Conference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry -7-9 October 1998), further demonstrate the vitality of this line ofresearch. Until some years ago, a researcher interested in dynamical modelling of spatially of the partial extended systems had only one language at his disposal, namely that differential equations (PDE). These are wonderful tools to use when an analytical solution can be found or a perturbative approach can provide a good approximation of the observed phenomena. The use of digital computers has enormously expanded the explanatory and predictive power of partial differential equations by allowing one to treat cases which had been outside the scope of a "pen and pencil" approach. However, it has also opened up a way to new formalisms which are able to describe interesting phenomena and are, at the same time, well-suited for digital simulation.
