CALResco's The Complexity & Artificial Life Research Concept for Self-Organizing Systems "Here we will introduce the integrating sciences of Complex Systems and of ALife together with related systems areas. We'll also pursue the wider social implications of these transdisciplinary theories of self-organization on mind, art, spirit and life as it could be..."

Virtual Life Forum A forum on virtual life. Contains sections on virtual life games such as Aquazone, Babyz, Creatures, Oddballz, Petz, Pina, and The Sims.

Biota.org "the mission of Biota.org is to promote and assist in the engineering of complete, biologically-inspired, synthetic ecosystems and organisms. This involves the creation and deployment of digital tools and environments for simulation, research, and learning about living systems both natural and artificial. These tools could range from simple genetic algorithms all the way up to full multi-user virtual environments. Biota.org will seek to nourish a community of interest and to bring the experience of interacting with digital biota to a large audience through the medium of the Internet. Cyberbiology is Artificial Life made visible through Cyberspace."

Boids (Flocks, Herds, and Schools: A distributed behavioral model) by Craig Reynolds. Contains info on his project Boids - an application which simulates flocking behavior. Contains tons of links to other internet resources that involve Boids and flocking behavior.

Virtual Pet Contains a lot of information on virtual pets including industry news and links to a lot of virtual pet products.

Artificial Life Pages at Brandeis Contains a list on on-line ALife papers on genetic programming, learning, autonomous agents, robotics, and evolution. Also contains links to artificial life groups, researchers, journals, and conferences.
