[alife] ALIFE XIII Workshop: Artificial Life in Industry

[Tom Barbalet]

This workshop will focus on the experiences of artificial life practitioners in industry (and those who want to gather more information on this topic). It is intended to provide a surveying of the elements of artificial life in industry, the kinds of industries using artificial life and ultimately how the discussion on artificial life in academia can have a contextual connection with the work being done by practitioners in industry. Rather than a recounting of war-stories this workshop is designed to offer some broader discussion to definition and outreach to industry. This workshop has a companion workshop on Teaching Artificial Life for Industry.

The workshop will run for two hours at the ALIFE XIII Conference:

The workshop will be co-ordinated by Tom Barbalet (tom at nobleape dot com), the creator of Noble Ape and the chair of ISAL's Industry Outreach Group. Noble Ape is an open source artificial life project initially created in 1996 that has been used by Apple since 2003, Intel since 2005 and Netflix.
