Life is not what it seems to be. With the B.A.L.S. Biological Artificial Life System, humanity has acquired the technology to simulate whatever life one chooses. When the whole of the species opts to live in a simulated fantasy world, no one expected that eventually, the lines between fantasy and reality would blur until they are indistinguishable. In the Almaican empire, Cog Heavenshire believes himself to be a ruler caught in a brutal war against the Horosh. When he is visited by a strange man named Zolin who claims they are living in a simulation, Cog doesn’t know what to believe. Yet when Zolin vanishes, people begin appearing in Cog’s world, materializing out of thin air. The technology keeping everyone in the simulation is failing, warping time and filling Cog’s world with inexplicable events. Determined to unravel the truth behind B.A.L.S. and find the mysterious Zolin, Cog and his allies are forced to fight a war on two fronts: one within their world, and one that transcends it.
The vital need for alternative resources and reaction routes, environmentally friendly and economically feasible industrial chemical processes has become a ubiquitous reality. This very timely introductory text covers new materials, processes and industry sectors: nanotechnology, microreactors, membrane separations, hybrid processes, clean technologies, energy savings and safe production of energy, renewables and biotechnology. Some completely new processes for the solid-liquid systems are also discussed in detail, thus creating new opportunities of sustainable development not only in industrial practice.
An account of the creation of new forms of life and intelligence in cybernetics, artificial life, and artificial intelligence that analyzes both the similarities and the differences among these sciences in actualizing life.The Allure of Machinic Life
This book brings together contributions to the Fourth Artificial Life Workshop, held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the summer of 1994.
Examining the construction, manipulation and re-definition of life in contemporary technoscientific culture, this book aims to re-focus concern on the ethics rather than on the 'nature' of artificial life.
Topics include self-organization, the origins of life, natural selection, evolutionary computation, neural networks, communication, artificial worlds, software agents, philosophical issues in artificial life, ethical problems, and learning and development. Researchers in artificial life attempt to use the physical representation of lifelike phenomena to understand the organizational principles underlying the dynamics of living systems. The goal of the 1997 European Conference on Artificial Life is to provoke new understandings of the relationships between the natural and the artificial. Topics include self-organization, the origins of life, natural selection, evolutionary computation, neural networks, communication, artificial worlds, software agents, philosophical issues in artificial life, ethical problems, and learning and development.
Proceedings from the Tenth International Conference on Artificial Life, marking two decades of interdisciplinary research in this growing scientific community.Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary effort to investigate the fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and synthesis of life-like processes in artificial media. The field brings a powerful set of tools to the study of how high-level behavior can arise in systems governed by simple rules of interaction.This tenth volume marks two decades of research in this interdisciplinary scientific community, a period marked by vast advances in the life sciences. The field has contributed fundamentally to our understanding of life itself through computer models, and has led to novel solutions to complex real-world problems--from disease prevention to stock market prediction--across high technology and human society. The proceedings of the biennial A-life conference--which has grown over the years from a small workshop in Santa Fe to a major international meeting--reflect the increasing importance of the work to all areas of contemporary science.
Out of Control chronicles the dawn of a new era in which the machines and systems that drive our economy are so complex and autonomous as to be indistinguishable from living things.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, ICARIS 2006. The book presents 34 revised full papers, are organized in topical sections on computer simulation of classical immunology, computer simulation of idiotypic network, immunoinformatics conceptual papers, pattern recognition type of application, optimization type of application, control and time-series type of application, danger theory inspired application, and text mining application.
Proceedings from the ninth International Conference on Artificial Life; papers by scientists of many disciplines focusing on the principles of organization and applications of complex, life-like systems. Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary effort to investigate the fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and synthesis of life-like processes. The young field brings a powerful set of tools to the study of how high-level behavior can arise in systems governed by simple rules of interaction. Some of the fundamental questions include: What are the principles of evolution, learning, and growth that can be understood well enough to simulate as an information process? Can robots be built faster and more cheaply by mimicking biology than by the product design process used for automobiles and airplanes? How can we unify theories from dynamical systems, game theory, evolution, computing, geophysics, and cognition? The field has contributed fundamentally to our understanding of life itself through computer models, and has led to novel solutions to complex real-world problems across high technology and human society. This elite biennial meeting has grown from a small workshop in Santa Fe to a major international conference. This ninth volume of the proceedings of the international A-life conference reflects the growing quality and impact of this interdisciplinary scientific community.
