<a href="http://www.igi-global.com/book/investigations-into-living-systems-artificial/72349">This book, published by </a><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/book/investigations-into-living-systems-artificial/72349" target="_blank">IGI Global</a>, is a collection of original research and development work in artificial life, analysis and modelling of living systems, and real world applications. Synthesising and evolving intelligent behaviour, analysing natural processes and biological systems, and imitating their behaviour in complex artificial systems are considered major challenges in artificial life and intelligent systems design. Addressing these challenges requires crossing boundaries between various disciplines and thinking across established fields of study. In the first part of the book, “Analysis and Modelling of Living Systems”, contributions address open problems in living systems through new models, frameworks, and methods for describing biological and cognitive functions, natural processes and phenomena. The second part, titled “Mathematical and Analytical Techniques with Applications”, presents mathematical and analytical techniques for modelling living systems and provides insights on how these can be exploited further in real-world applications. Lastly, the third part, titled “Intelligent Information Processing and Applications”, focuses on knowledge-based and data-driven computational methods for modelling and exploratory data analysis of biological and cognitive processes.<br />

Book chapters are self-contained and present advanced architectures and platforms, studies of technologies adoption, development and use for lifelong learning technologies, and systems and applications that employ advanced e-learning and lifelong learning technologies to support real practices. Chapters also discuss open problems and research issues, providing insight into the future of technologies for lifelong learning. The book complements available literature on lifelong learning that concentrates on policy matters, and societal, pedagogical, and economical issues relating to or affecting lifelong learning.George D.
