Abstract:

The field called Artificial Life (ALife) coalesced following a workshop organized by Chris Langton in September 1987 (Langton, 1988a). That meeting drew together work that had been largely carried out from the 1950s through to the 1980s. A few years later, Langton became the founding editor of this journal, Artificial Life, which started its life with Volume 1, Issue 1_2 in the (northern) winter of 1993/1994. This current issue therefore begins the 30th volume and 30th year of Artificial Life. We think this is a milestone worth celebrating!
