Artificial life and artificial life computation
Dingwei Wang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2007
The paper researches on the definition of the artificial-life computation and proposes a kind of general framework of artificial-life computation.Artificial-life computation is a new kind of intelligent algorithms,which uses the forms of artificial life to study the mechanisms of information expressing and treating of artificial life,and abstract the corresponding computation models for solving and optimizing the mathematical problems by embedding some kinds of computation technology,and mimicking the evolution processes of the natural creatures.In the second,the paper sums up the theoretical foundations of artificial-life computation including in genetic algorithm,artificial neural network,cellular automata,L-system,agent and multi-agent system,computation ecology and etc.Then the paper studies on two kinds of the artificial life algorithm in detail.Artificial-life computations have the extensive application prospects in the scientific computations and a great deal of the real project applications.
