Artificial Life

Christopher G. Langton · 1989

Artificial Life: Proceedings of an Interdisciplinary Workshop on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, Addison-Wesley

Christopher Langton's chapter on artificial life in the proceedings of an interdisciplinary workshop on the synthesis and simulation of living systems. Both papers name artificial life, which has bred digital organisms for decades, as one of swarm ecology's nearest neighbors. Swarm ecology differs in making metabolism the hinge between bred and wild, and observation the central problem of method.
