Langton Santa Fe Institute We are soliciting contributed papers reporting research on the synthesis of biological phenomena in hardware, software, and wetware. Artificial Life, a new quarterly from The MIT Press, is the first unifying forum for the dissemination of scientific and engineering research in the field of Artificial Life. It reports on synthetic biological work being carried out in any media, from the familiar "wetware" of organic chemistry, through the inorganic "hardware" of mobile robots, all the way to the virtual "software" residing inside computers. Topics range from the origin of life, through self- reproduction, evolution, growth and development, animal behavior.... and so forth, on to the dynamics of whole ecosystems. Artificial Life will be an essential resource for scientists, academics, and students researching artificial life, biology, evolution, robotics, artificial intelligence, neural networks, genetic algorithms, ecosystems and the origin of life. The initial 3 issues of Volume 1 consist of a special set of overview articles, written by members of the Editorial Board, giving detailed reviews of distinct sub-disciplines within Artificial Life. Taken together, these articles constitute the most thorough and in-depth presentation of the theory and practice of Artificial Life provided to date; describing promising research directions, reviews of important open problems, and suggestions for new methodological approaches. ----------------------------------------------- Selected Articles from Volume 1, Numbers 1 - 3 ----------------------------------------------- Kristian Lindgren and Mats Nordahl Cooperation and Community Structure in Artificial Ecosystems Peter Schuster Extended Molecular Evolutionary Biology Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz Visual Models of Morphogenesis Luc Steels The Artificial Life Roots of Artificial Intelligence Pattie Maes Autonomous Agents and AL Tom Ray An Evolutionary Approach to Synthetic Biology Stephanie Forrest and Melanie Mitchell Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Life Daniel Dennett Artificial Life as Philosophy Stevan Harnad Levels of Functional Equivalence in Reverse Bioengineering ------------------------------------------------------ Quarterly: Volume 1 forthcoming, fall/winter/spring/summer 96 pages per issue 7x10, illustrated, ISSN 1064-5462 Yearly Rates: $45 Individual; $125 Institution, $25 Student For Submission Information To order Subscriptions please contact: please contact: Christopher G.
