Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
Understanding self-replication from an information processing perspective is important because, amongother things, it can shed light on molecular mechanismsof biological reproduct...

The concept of "self-protection", a capability of an organism to protect itself from exogenous attacks, is introduced to the design of artificial evolutionary systems as...
Abstract. This paper reviews the history of embedded, evolvable selfreplicating structures implemented as cellular automata systems. We relate recent advances in this field to the...
Abstract. Self-replicating structures in cellular automata have been extensively studied in the past as models of Artificial Life. However, CAs, unlike the biological cellular mod...
