Artificial Life is the official journal of the International Society for Artificial Life (ISAL).
Each issue features international research that spans the hierarchy of biological organization, including studies of the origin of life, self-assembly, growth and development, evolutionary and ecological dynamics, animal and robot behavior, social organization, and cultural evolution.
The journal shapes and chronicles the development of artificial life, extending the horizons of empirical research in biology beyond the territory circumscribed by life-as-we-know-it and into the domain of life-as-it-could-be.
