Artificial Life: Links & Literature Artificial Life: Selected Links & LiteratureCollected by Kerstin DautenhahnThis page is indended to be a first "contact point" for those with a general background in AI, Computer Science, Biology, (or related field), who are unfamiliar with Artificial Life but want to find out more about it. Selected resources and literature (introductory material and a few specialist books) are listed. This page is not meant to give a comprehensive overview or introduction to Artificial Life, such a role can be better fulfilled by other links listed below.
