About

The Working Group on Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive Systems was established in October 2003 to promote and encourage research in the areas of Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive Systems. The group aims at promoting better understanding of these areas by organizing special sessions and conferences worldwide. The group members are expected to have an active role in the group as well as the activities run by the technical committee.
