Artificial Life (ALife) is the study of the simulation and synthesis of living systems. In particular, this science of generalized living and life-like systems provides engineering with billions of years of design expertise to learn from and exploit through the example of the evolution of organic life on earth. Increased understanding of the massively successful design diversity, complexity, and adaptability of life is rapidly making inroads into all areas of engineering and the Sciences of the Artificial. Numerous applications of ideas from nature and their generalizations from life-as-we-know-it to life-as-it-could-be continually find their way into engineering and science.
Evolution is one of the key concerns of ALife, in its computational form (Evolutionary Computation), as a synthetic system unto itself (Computational Evolution), and also in the study of the role of evolution in the development of biological systems. The Special Session on Artificial Life in IEEE CEC 2024 will brings together researchers working on the emerging areas of ALife and EC, aiming to understand and synthesize life-like systems and applying bio-inspired synthetic methods to other science/engineering disciplines, including Biology, Robotics, Social Sciences, among others.
