Traditionally, artificial evolution, complex systems, and artificial life were separate fields, each with its own research community, but we are now seeing increased intertwinement and hybridization among them. It is now hard to imagine any work in one of these areas that does not refer to techniques or theoretical results normally considered to belong to one of the other two. Evolution and complexity characterize both biological life and artificial life, whenever direct modeling of biological p
