CS 361* Artificial Life and Digital Evolution (*=Junior Seminar) 6 credits
The field of artificial life seeks to understand the dynamics of life by separating them from the substrate of DNA. In this course, we will explore how we can implement the dynamics of life in software to test and generate biological hypotheses, with a particular focus on evolution. Topics will include the basic principles of biological evolution, transferring experimental evolution techniques to computational systems, cellular automata, computational modeling, and digital evolution. Students will develop technical communication skills in writing and user interface design through several projects aimed at explaining science to public and scientific audiences.
16 seats held until the day after X priority registration.
