Artificial Life Links

Although ALife is a relatively new field, there are several research groups working in it around the world. The links below also note related fields such as complex systems research groups. The links were assembled from a couple of intense web browsing sessions in February and March 2004, and are aimed mostly at students starting ALife projects. It is in no sense complete nor comprehensive. ALife is already an old enough field that much of the material on the Web is already out of date and has broken links. Links below last checked 31 March 2004.
