The goal of this course is to quickly get students up to scratch with
|
|
some basic ideas of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_life][artificial life]]. The core part of the course is a
|
|
practical assignment in which students should implement a simple
|
|
artificial life environment in [[http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/][NetLogo]]. After having taken this
|
|
course, the students will have an overview picture of the domain of
|
|
artificial life and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_computing][autonomic computing]], and will be able to program
|
|
simple to moderately complex multi-agent environments in NetLogo.
|
|
|
|
This course requires some basic experience in computer science, but
|
|
prior knowledge of NetLogo is not mandatory. It is part of the course
|
|
"Calcul autonomique" ("Autonomic computing") taught to students
|
|
following the [[https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/fr/formation/master/m2-conception-et-intelligence-des-logiciels-et-systemes-cils#presentation-m2][CILS]] MSc. program at [[http://www.univ-evry.fr/fr/index.html][Université d'Évry]]. The teaching
|
|
language is French.
|
|
|
|
The course consists of 3 sections: a brief introduction to autonomic
|
|
computing, a brief introduction to artificial life, and the practical
|
|
assignment.

* Introduction to autonomic computing
|
|
This section provides a high-level overview of autonomic computing
|
|
by listing the desired properties of autonomic systems and the
|
|
evolutionary levels to reach them.
|
|
|
|
The slides for this section (in French) are available [[file:../content/courses/alife-intro/ac-intro.pdf][here]].
|
|
|
|
* Introduction to artificial life
|
|
This section provides a high-level overview of artificial life. It
|
|
gives some examples of systems which are and which are not
|
|
artificial life, and then lists the types of artificial life. This
|
|
section prepares the lab assignment by quickly recalling [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automata][cellular
|
|
automata]] and by giving some links to NetLogo-related resources.

|
|
|
* Artificial life in an environment with gravity
|
|
This section is a practical assignment proposing to students to
|
|
implement an artificial life environment with gravity. The suggested
|
|
implementation platform is NetLogo. For students who have never used
|
|
NetLogo before, the assignment includes a warm-up exercise proposing
|
|
to implement [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%2527s_Game_of_Life][Conway's Game of Life]].
|
|
|
|
This lab assignment is a simplified version of the [[https://theopensciencedoor.blogspot.fr/2017/06/vie-artificielle-dans-un-environnement.html][internship]] (in
|
|
French) proposed by [[https://sites.google.com/site/nicolasglade/][Nicolas Glade]] and carried out by Clément Hege.
