Arti?cialLifehascomealongway.
Sincetheinceptionofthe?eldabout16years ago with a seminal workshop
at the Santa Fe Institute, the ?eld has developed quickly.
Itsinterdisciplinaryrootshavebeenbothablessingandacurse. Critical
people would say that nothing was new in the ideas of Arti?cial
Life, since many other disciplines had addressed the very same
questions, though probably under di?erent names. Other critics
would state that the di?culty of interacting in an
interdisciplinary way with colleagues from so many other and
divergent ?elds would be so great that true progress could not come
from such an enterprise, as those involved would be too busy
understanding - or misunderstanding - each other. Admirers, on the
other hand, would speak of a bold new attack on the most
fascinating questions of science with this new approach. Others
would say that new perspectives were opened by the questions the
area of Arti?cial Life askedsopointedly.
Forthoseinvolvedinthise?ortoversomeyears, ithasalways been very
interesting and fascinating to work on these questions. From our
discussions it also seems that Arti?cial Life is beginning to
become mainstream. Evolutionarybiology,
