This book provides some resources of Artificial Life. Artificial Life (ALife or A-Life) is the research area which simulates a life computationally. It involves several approaches to living systems in artificial manners. It was recognized as a scientific field in the 1980's. Artificial Life is related to many scientific fields including biology and computer science, and its history is old. In fact, the earlier works have been done by people like Turing and von Neumann.
Fields like that neural networks, evolutionary computation, and cellular automaton constitute the foundations for Artificial Life. The so-called wet ware is an approach in more biology-oriented, which is known that there are some Artificial Life Systems at present. It is expected to see further progresses of this exciting field.
The materials include: history, philosophy, related areas, recent developments, etc. Starting from the overview, the authors give an exposition of basic subjects like cellular automaton, neural networks, evolutionary computation, and wet ware. The authors also introduce some examples of Artificial Life Systems like Boids, Tierra, and Open Warm.
The book is intended for those, like experts and students, who wish to get involved in the field as a monograph or a textbook for the subject. It is also useful for beginners. But, the authors assume that the reader has mastered the material ordinarily covered in AI and mathematics.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
