Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation: 12th Italian Workshop, WIVACE 2017, Venice, Italy, September 19-21, 2017, Revised Selected Papers

This collection presents a series of revised selected papers from the 12th Italian Workshop on Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation, held in Venice. Researchers and experts converge to explore the intersections of physical-chemical phenomena and biological systems, delving into the complex dynamics underpinning life and its evolutionary processes.

The discussions extend beyond biological contexts into the realms of economy and society, presenting a broader perspective on how computational methods can optimize these systems. This work captures the essence of complex interactions, offering insights that contribute to the understanding of both artificial and natural life.
