Promote your work via a Graphical Abstract in Artificial Life. Our first published graphical abstract accompanies the paper "Explaining the Neuroevolution of Fighting Creatures Through Virtual fMRI" by Godin-Dubois, Cussat-Blanc, Duthen. ISAL Artificial Life doi.org/10.1162/artl_a…

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

Just published in Artificial Life 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

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…

Genki Ichinose presents our work on Levy flights on the evolution of cooperation #ALIFE2023 ALIFE Conference 2025 (This was a Artificial Life journal talk)

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

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 ALIFE Conference 2025 ISAL Artificial Life direct.mit.edu/artl/issue

The bases are full! Our Online Early page is full of articles: direct.mit.edu/artl/online-ea… A new issue 29:4, the final one of Volume 29, is nearing completion. We are moving towards the Artificial Life journal's 30th Anniversary volume! The special call for articles is on our site.
