The recent surge of interest in artificial life has pushed a whole range of engineering traditions, such as control theory and robotics, beyond classical notions of goal and planning into biologically inspired notions of viability and adaptation, situatedness and operational closure. These proceedings serve two important functions: they address bottom-up theories of artificial intelligence and explore what can be learned from simple models such as insects about the cognitive processes and characteristic autonomy of living organisms, while also engaging researchers and philosophers in an exciting examination of the epistemological basis of this new trend.TopicsArtificial Animals  Genetic Algorithms  Autonomous Systems  Emergent Behaviors  Artificial Ecologies  Immunologic Algorithms  Self-Adapting Systems  Emergent Structures  Emotion And Motivation  Neural Networks  Coevolution  Fitness LandscapesContributorsH.
