The International Journal of Artificial Life Research (IJALR) provides a forum on the study of living systems, human level artificial systems, and machines that exhibit intelligent autonomous behavioral characteristics. Presenting researchers and practitioners with access to explore the developments of life-like or human-like forms of systems, IJALR promotes research in emerging disciplines of artificial life to improve and comprehend real-world problems. This journal publishes all concepts, theories, systems, and procedures that exhibit properties, phenomena, or abilities of any living system or human.
Mission & Scope:
The mission of the International Journal of Artificial Life Research (IJALR) is to investigate the hybrid nature involved in scientific, engineering, psychological, and social issues in synthetic life-like behavior and abilities. IJALR publishes high-quality original research and review articles in theoretical and applied aspects of artificial life research to address complex and dynamic issues... Show More
The mission of the International Journal of Artificial Life Research (IJALR) is to investigate the hybrid nature involved in scientific, engineering, psychological, and social issues in synthetic life-like behavior and abilities. IJALR publishes high-quality original research and review articles in theoretical and applied aspects of artificial life research to address complex and dynamic issues in nature and demand complex information processing abilities to be emulated, recreated, and synthesized. Since computer and modeling form the basic tool in scientific research, the frontiers of computer and modeling connected with humanistic systems is one area of interest. The meaningful representation and manipulation on computer of human intelligence and human language like the recent development in soft computing, fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, semantic networks, probabilistic and Bayesian reasoning, evidence theory, classical and mutli-value logic, and evolutionary operation with neural network and support vector machine are emphasized.

However, through Green OA, IGI Global supports a Fair Use Policy, enabling authors to Post the final
typeset PDF (which includes the title page, table of contents and other front materials, and the copyright
statement) of their chapter or article (NOT THE ENTIRE BOOK OR JOURNAL ISSUE), on the author or
editor's secure personal website and/or their university repository site. See the Fair Use Policy for sharing allowances conducive to Green Open Access.
- Open Access Publishing: If the author choses to publish under OA, the authors receive the
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licensing arrangement. The copyright for the
work remains solely with the author(s) of the article. Others may distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon
the work, even commercially, without asking prior permission from the publisher or author and so long as
