Artificial Life journal

Vol. 30 No. 1 the Anniversary Issue lives! direct.mit.edu/artl/issue/30/1 There are familiar names and new ones among the authors – after 30 years our journal remains both interesting to those who have been here awhile, and relevant to those newly emerging @alifeofficial @ALifeConf

Artificial Life is now using ScholarOne. This will streamline your article submission, review handling and publication. Our team will continue though to work closely with our authors to maintain the personal touch! @mitpress @alifeofficial direct.mit.edu/artl/pages/sub…

since starting this I've discovered @ARTL_journal, as well as Lenia by @BertChakovsky -- a mind-bending creation I'm still trying to wrap my head around worth taking a look at if you find this kind of thing interesting github.com/Chakazul/Lenia

ONLINE EARLY. Two new articles up on our site: The Dynamics of Life; and Motivations for AI, Deep Learning and ALife. We are preparing to release the first issue of Volume 30... take a sneak-peak here direct.mit.edu/artl/online-ea…. @alifeofficial @ALifeConf

Early online: A new book review, "Model Systems in Biology: History, Philosophy, and Practical Concerns", Georg Striedter (2022, @mitpress) doi.org/10.1162/artl_r… @alifeofficial

Early online: Pressure-based Soft Agents Pigozzi @mitpress @AlifePapers @alifeofficial

We congratulate Justin Werfel, winner of the 2023 "Best Reviewer" award. And we thank all our reviewers for their commitment to improving submissions made to our journal through the provision of insightful comments and feedback. It's appreciated! @alifeofficial @ALifeConf

@yozakura_m_2 @alltbl Maybe it's tako-chan's distant cousin!

If you have a new life-form to report in the Artificial Life journal, now's the time to submit prior to the December holidays! We're looking forward to seeing what's in the end-of-year papers rush for 2023 (before we launch into our 30th Anniversary volume for 2024).

The call for Special Sessions is now open! More info here: 2024.alife.org/call_special_s…

Artificial Life's journal Impact Factor climbed from 0.88 (2020) to 3.76 (2022)! Thanks for publishing your best @alifeofficial research with us, for time spent reviewing articles thoroughly, and for building on work published in the @mitpress journal! @AlifePapers @ALifeConf

New Special Issue now online, "Biology in AI: New Frontiers in Hardware, Software, and Wetware Modeling of Cognition" edited by Damiano & Stano. Also in the issue is the latest of Adami's columns, The Elements of Intelligence @ALifeConf @alifeofficial direct.mit.edu/artl/issue

Genki Ichinose presents our work on Levy flights on the evolution of cooperation #ALIFE2023 @ALifeConf (This was a @ARTL_journal talk)

I'll present (virtually) at 10:30 in Room 1 "Emergence in Artificial Life", paper published @ARTL_journal direct.mit.edu/artl/article/2… #ALife2023

Here's something from a competing journal that is likely to be of relevance and interest to Artificial Life researchers science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Just published in @ARTL_journal 29(2): "Emergence in Artificial Life" Can understanding emergence help us understand living systems? And vice versa? direct.mit.edu/artl/article/2… #OpenAccess

Vol. 29 Iss. 2 "Spring" is live! A bumper issue. Emergence, Self-organisation, Lévy flights, RNA automata, behaviour. The irony of announcing a Spring issue from the Southern hemisphere where days are short, cold and un-spring-like has not escaped us! direct.mit.edu/artl/issue
