A vivid and attractive group of ideas about systems, their evolution, and interaction has been conceptualized as “artificial life.” This volume, whose papers require varying levels of sophistication on the part of the reader, shows how the concepts of artificial life can be used to explore issues of ecology, adaptation for organisms and systems, and computer viruses. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of the underlying construct.
