Artificial Life, launched in the fall of 1993, has become the unifying forum for the exchange of scientific information on the study of artificial systems that exhibit the behavioral characteristics of natural living systems, through the synthesis or simulation using computational (software), robotic (hardware), and/or physicochemical (wetware) means.

Artificial Life is intended to be the primary vehicle for the dissemination of original scientific and engineering research involving the synthesis of life and life-like phenomena in wetware, hardware, and software, and the application of such techniques toward the enhancement of our theoretical understanding of life and life-like phenomena. It is also intended to serve as a forum for the discussion and evaluation of the many technological, philosophical, social, and ethical issues involved in our attempts to synthesize vital phenomena artificially. Contributions will be accepted in the following categories: Letters—Short communications detailing original research results, typically containing under 2,000 words. Articles—Manuscripts reporting original research containing on the order of 6,000 to 12,000 words. Reviews—Major overviews of domains of intellectual inquiry relevant to the field of artificial life, typically containing more than 12,000 words. Reports—Objective summaries of conferences, workshops, and other intellectual gatherings that would be of interest to the artificial life community, typically under 2,000 words. Fast Track Articles—Short communications (about 2000 words) describing especially timely or important original research results or perspectives; editorial decisions are communicated to authors typically within a matter of weeks. If you have an exciting piece of research or a perspective on current developments in artificial life that you can summarize in about 2000 words, Artificial Life can offer you a Fast Track option in order to have your work reviewed quickly, in a matter of weeks. This process is meant to support the cutting-edge research and ideas of the Artificial Life community and increase the impact of your work. The editorial team is ready to assist you.
