artificial life

a research area of artificial intelligence in which computer-based systems exhibit behavioral characteristics of living systems. Often constructed using cellular automata, these systems fall into three categories depending on the approach: software (simulators), hardware (robotics), and wetware (synthetic DNA). This research area often attempts to simulate the effects of communication and other society-based skills on survival.
