Artificial Chemistries-A Review.
Artificial Life, 7 (3): 225--275 (2001)
Abstract
This article reviews the growing body of scientific
work in artificial chemistry. First, common motivations
and fundamental concepts are introduced. Second,
current research activities are discussed along three
application dimensions: modeling, information
processing, and optimization. Finally, common phenomena
among the different systems are summarized. It is
argued here that artificial chemistries are “the
right stuff” for the study of prebiotic and
biochemical evolution, and they provide a productive
framework for questions regarding the origin and
evolution of organizations in general. Furthermore,
artificial chemistries have a broad application range
of practical problems, as shown in this review.
