Evolutionary Innovation Viewed as Novel Physical Phenomena and Hierarchical Systems Building
Tim Taylor
In previous work I proposed a framework for thinking about open-ended evolution. The framework characterised the basic processes required for Darwinian evolution as: (1) the genera…
The Importance of Open-Endedness (for the Sake of Open-Endedness)
Tim Taylor
A paper in the recent Artificial Life journal special issue on open-ended evolution (OEE) presents a simple evolving computational system that, it is claimed, satisfies all propose…
An Overview of Open-Ended Evolution: Editorial Introduction to the Open-Ended Evolution II Special Issue
Norman Packard, Mark A. Bedau, Alastair Channon +4
Nature's spectacular inventiveness, reflected in the enormous diversity of form and function displayed by the biosphere, is a feature of life that distinguishes living most strongl…
Past Visions of Artificial Futures: One Hundred and Fifty Years under the Spectre of Evolving Machines
Tim Taylor, Alan Dorin
The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Life (ALife) technologies upon society, and their potential to fundamentally shape the future evolution of humankind, a…
Evolutionary Innovations and Where to Find Them: Routes to Open-Ended Evolution in Natural and Artificial Systems
Tim Taylor
This paper presents a high-level conceptual framework to help orient the discussion and implementation of open-endedness in evolutionary systems. Drawing upon earlier work by Banzh…
Evolution in Virtual Worlds
Tim Taylor
This chapter discusses the possibility of instilling a virtual world with mechanisms for evolution and natural selection in order to generate rich ecosystems of complex organisms i…
Digital Genesis: Computers, Evolution and Artificial Life
Tim Taylor, Alan Dorin, Kevin Korb
The application of evolution in the digital realm, with the goal of creating artificial intelligence and artificial life, has a history as long as that of the digital computer itse…
Requirements for Open-Ended Evolution in Natural and Artificial Systems
Tim Taylor
Open-ended evolutionary dynamics remains an elusive goal for artificial evolutionary systems. Many ideas exist in the biological literature beyond the basic Darwinian requirements…
Artificial Life and the Web: WebAL Comes of Age
Tim Taylor
A brief survey is presented of the first 18 years of web-based Artificial Life ("WebAL") research and applications, covering the period 1995-2013. The survey is followed by a short…
WebAL-1: Workshop on Artificial Life and the Web 2014 Proceedings
Tim Taylor
Proceedings of WebAL-1: Workshop on Artificial Life and the Web 2014, held at the 14th International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems (ALIFE 14), New Yo…
