Book excerpt: An introduction to the fundamental concepts of the emerging field of Artificial Chemistries, covering both theory and practical applications. The field of Artificial Life (ALife) is now firmly established in the scientific world, but it has yet to achieve one of its original goals: an understanding of the emergence of life on Earth. The new field of Artificial Chemistries draws from chemistry, biology, computer science, mathematics, and other disciplines to work toward that goal. For if, as it has been argued, life emerged from primitive, prebiotic forms of self-organization, then studying models of chemical reaction systems could bring ALife closer to understanding the origins of life. In Artificial Chemistries (ACs), the emphasis is on creating new interactions rather than new materials. The results can be found both in the virtual world, in certain multiagent systems, and in the physical world, in new (artificial) reaction systems. This book offers an introduction to the fundamental concepts of ACs, covering both theory and practical applications. After a general overview of the field and its methodology, the book reviews important aspects of biology, including basic mechanisms of evolution; discusses examples of ACs drawn from the literature; considers fundamental questions of how order can emerge, emphasizing the concept of chemical organization (a closed and self-maintaining set of chemicals); and surveys a range of applications, which include computing, systems modeling in biology, and synthetic life. An appendix provides a Python toolkit for implementing ACs.

Download or read book Modelling Protocells written by Roberto Serra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph discusses models of synthetic protocells, which are cell-like structures obtained from non-living matter endowed with some rudimentary kind of metabolism and genetics, but much simpler than biological cells. They should grow and proliferate, generating offsprings that resemble in some way the parent protocells with some variation, so that selection may take place. Sustainable protocell populations have not yet been obtained experimentally and mathematical models are therefore extremely important to address key questions concerning their synthesis and behavior. Different protocell “architectures” have been proposed and high-level abstract models like those that are presented in this book are particularly relevant to gain a better understanding of the different properites. These models are able to treat all the major dynamical phenomena in a unified framework, so they can be seen as “virtual laboratories” for protocell research. Particular attention is paid to the problem of synchronization of the fission rate of the whole protocell and the duplication rate of its "protogenetic" material, which is shown to be an emergent property that spontaneously develops in successive generations. The book is of interest for a broad range of scientists working in soft matter physics, chemistry and biology, interested in the role protocells may play on the development of new technologies with medical, environmental and industrial applications as well as scientists interested in the origin of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From artificial intelligence to artificial empathy, “a timely and well-written volume that addresses many contemporary and future moral questions” (Library Journal). Today’s robots engage with human beings in socially meaningful ways, as therapists, trainers, mediators, caregivers, and companions. Social robotics is grounded in artificial intelligence, but the field’s most probing questions explore the nature of the very real human emotions that social robots are designed to emulate. Social roboticists conduct their inquiries out of necessity—every robot they design incorporates and tests a number of hypotheses about human relationships. Paul Dumouchel and Luisa Damiano show that as roboticists become adept at programming artificial empathy into their creations, they are abandoning the conventional conception of human emotions as discrete, private, internal experiences. Rather, they are reconceiving emotions as a continuum between two actors who coordinate their affective behavior in real time. Rethinking the role of sociability in emotion has also led the field of social robotics to interrogate a number of human ethical assumptions, and to formulate a crucial political insight: there are simply no universal human characteristics for social robots to emulate. What we have instead is a plurality of actors, human and nonhuman, in noninterchangeable relationships. Foreshadowing an inflection point in human evolution, Living with Robots shows that for social robots to be effective, they must be attentive to human uniqueness and exercise a degree of social autonomy. More than mere automatons, they must become social actors, capable of modifying the rules that govern their interplay with humans. “A detailed tour of the philosophy of artificial intelligence (AI)?especially as it applies to robots intended to build social relationships with humanity. . . . If we are to build a robust, appropriate ethical structure around the next generation of technical development?some combination of deep learning, artificial intelligence, robotics and artificial empathy?we need to understand that managing the impact of these technologies is far too important to be left to those who are enthusiastically engaged in producing them.” —Times Higher Education

This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to guide the process of self-organisation towards specific patterns and outcomes? Wouldn’t this be self-contradictory? After all, a self-organising process assumes a transition into a more organised form, or towards a more structured functionality, in the absence of centralised control. Then how can we place the guiding elements so that they do not override rich choices potentially discoverable by an uncontrolled process? This book presents different approaches to resolving this paradox. In doing so, the presented studies address a broad range of phenomena, ranging from autopoietic systems to morphological computation, and from small-world networks to information cascades in swarms. A large variety of methods is employed, from spontaneous symmetry breaking to information dynamics to evolutionary algorithms, creating a rich spectrum reflecting this emerging field. Demonstrating several foundational theories and frameworks, as well as innovative practical implementations, Guided Self-Organisation: Inception, will be an invaluable tool for advanced students and researchers in a multiplicity of fields across computer science, physics and biology, including information theory, robotics, dynamical systems, graph theory, artificial life, multi-agent systems, theory of computation and machine learning.

This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although human intelligence is deeply investigated by neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, and AI researchers, we still lack of a widely accepted definition of what it is. If we exploit the emergence theory from Complexity Science to give a definition, we might state that human intelligence is the emergent property of the human nervous system. Such fascinating emergent property allows us to handle both accurate and vague information by computing with numbers and words. Moreover, it allows us to reason, speak and take rational decisions in an environment of uncertainty, partiality and relativity of truth, when the “Incompatibility Principle” holds: “As the complexity of a system increases, accuracy and significance become almost mutually exclusive characteristics of our statements”. Finally, our intelligence allows us recognizing quite easily variable patterns. Therefore, it is worthwhile investigating human intelligence and trying to mimic it by developing Artificial Intelligence. Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence is in vogue: it is applied in both basic and applied science. Traditionally, there are two strategies to develop Artificial Intelligence. A strategy consists in writing human-like intelligent software running in von Neumann computers or special-purpose hardware. The other strategy consists in neuromorphic engineering. Neuromorphic engineering implements surrogates of neurons through non-biological systems, either for neuro-prosthesis or to design brain-like computing machines. A third strategy is now blooming and it consists in using molecular, supramolecular, materials, and systems chemistry to mimic some basic functions of human intelligence such as Boolean, multi-valued logic gates, and Fuzzy logic. This third strategy is originating Chemical Artificial Intelligence (CAI). A relevant purpose of CAI is to design modules for Chemical Robots. A Chemical Robot is thought of as a molecular assembly that reacts autonomously to its environment by probing it with molecular sensors, making decisions by its intrinsic Artificial Neural Networks or logic gates, and performing actions upon its environment through molecular effectors. The intelligent activities of any Chemical Robot should be sustained energetically by a metabolic unit. Chemical Robots should be easily miniaturized and implanted in living beings to interplay with cells or organelles for biomedical applications. They should become auxiliary elements of the natural immune system.

Download or read book Agent-Based Modelling in Population Studies written by André Grow and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the use of agent-based modelling (ABM) in population studies, from concepts to applications, best practices to future developments. It features papers written by leading experts in the field that will help readers to better understand the usefulness of ABM for population projections, how ABM can be injected with empirical data to achieve a better match between model and reality, how geographic information can be fruitfully used in ABM, and how ABM results can be reported effectively and correctly. Coverage ranges from detailing the relation between ABM and existing paradigms in population studies to infusing agent-based models with empirical data. The papers show the benefits that ABM offers the field, including enhanced theory formation by better linking the micro level with the macro level, the ability to represent populations more adequately as complex systems, and the possibility to study rare events and the implications of alternative mechanisms in artificial laboratories. In addition, readers will discover guidelines and best practices with detailed examples of how to apply agent-based models in different areas of population research, including human mating behaviour, migration, and socio-structural determinants of health behaviours. Earlier versions of the papers in this book have been presented at the workshop “Recent Developments and Future Directions in Agent-Based Modelling in Population Studies,” which took place at the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium, in September 2014. The book will contribute to the development of best practices in the field and will provide a solid point of reference for scholars who want to start using agent-based modelling in their own research.
