Artificial-Life Ecosystems - What are they and what could they become?
2008
Workshop on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems
This paper summarises the history of the terms ecology and ecosystem, before examining their application in the early and recent literature of A-Life agent-based software simulation. ...
Implications of these characteristics for the relevance of A-Life's virtual ecosystem models to Ecology are discussed. ...
Introduction As even a cursory survey of the early and current literature reveals, within the fields of Artificial Life and Ecological Modelling, agent (individual)-based virtual ecosystem model construction ...

The work is conceptualised and designed as an artificial ecosystem where virtual and real species interact with their biotic and a-biotic environment. ...
In many cases, people are not aware of the learning system, camera sensing, even the fact that what they are experiencing is a complex artificial life system. ...

On Writing and Reading Artistic Computational Ecosystems
2015
Artificial Life
These are virtual worlds running on computers, composed of agents that trade units of energy and emulate cycles of life and behaviors adapted from biological life forms. ...
We study the use of the generative systems known as computational ecosystems to convey artistic and narrative aims. ...

An Evolving Ecosystems Approach to Generating Complex Agent Behaviour
2007
2007 IEEE Symposium on Artificial Life
The agents start with very limited functional design and morphology and neural controllers are concurrently evolved as functional wholes. ...
The agents are 'grounded' in an increasingly complex environment by a complex model metabolism and interaction dynamics. ...
Especially, our agents are separate from the environment by external definition and they are not self-replicating. ...

Evolved digital ecosystems: Dynamic steady state, not optimal fixed point
2013
Advances in Artificial Life, ECAL 2013
Such ecosystems are said to have reached an optimal fixed point. ...
Traditional models of ecosystems often assume that the species composing an unperturbed ecosystem become fixed so that only the relative abundances of the species change over time. ...
Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NSF. ...
