Explorations in the Complexity of Possible Life : Abstracting and Synthesizing the Principles of Living Systems: Proceedings of the 7th German Workshop on Artificial Life, July 26-28, 2006, Jena, Germany

Since its inception in the 1980s, Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary field of science focused on abstracting the features and dynamics of living systems in order to create artificial life-like and living systems. In 1995, the first German Workshop on Artificial Life was organized by young researchers who were interested in this science.
