Floys
Territorial Critters
|
Floys - Social, Territorial, Evolving Alife Animals: Floys are
simple Artificial Life creatures implemented in Java,
VML (DHTML), and
Tcl/Tk. Their life-like emergent behavior is dictated by a few very
simple, local rules. They extend the family of Boids-like programs by adding an
aggressive territorial behavior towards strangers. A
screen saver implementation of the Floys is also available.

Genetic Algorithms
|
GA Playground - Genetic algorithms toolkit in Java: The GA
Playground is a general purpose GA toolkit implemented in Java, designed for
experimenting with genetic algorithms and handling optimization problems. A new
problem definition requires only coding of a fitness function and supplying
parameters by an Ascii file (similar to Windows ini file).

Cellular Automata
|
JcaToi (Java CA with a text-oriented inteface): This Cellular
Automata applet uses the classic Conway's Game of Life rules. However, the CA
world (implemented here as an arbitrary background picture) is shared by two
parallel, independent, overlapping CA's. It is an interactive applet, where
control is achieved through clicking on textual links rather then by the
orthodox use of buttons and menus. This enables a friendlier and more
descriptive user interface, not limited by the shorthand language of button and
menu captions.

Alife Database
|
Alife Database of Alife-related sites: A Searchable Database
for Artificial Life and Alife-related sites on the Net. The data is
automatically gathered by an intelligent search bot that scans the world wide
web for Alife related pages. The interactive database is open to all Alife
authors for online modifying existing entries or adding new ones.

|
Alife Database Web Service
|
Getting Alife Database data programmatically: The Web Service
uses the same database as the interactive version described above. It enables
sending a query to the database programmatically, either in SOAP format or in
HTTP GET or POST, and receive the requested data in XML format (for using the
data in another application) or in HTML format (for displaying the data in a
browser).

GA-List Archive
|
The Genetic Algorithms (GA-List) Archive is a repository for
information related to research in genetic algorithms and other forms of
evolutionary computation. This database application enables searching,
filtering and sorting of archived GA-List digests. A form is used to define a
query, the query retrieves a list of corresponding postings, and selecting any
posting will display the full text in a separate pane.
