Abstract

Genetic Algorithms have been used in many areas of Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life. The GA approach comes from the area of Biology and uses the ideas of natural selection and Genetics.In this paper we present the SoftGene platform consisting of a Virtual Machine as well as a number of evolutionary software microorganisms, which reside in it. Every microorganism is in fact a virtual machine program the code of which corresponds to its DNA. It tries to reproduce itself but there is a possibility of failure in this reproduction. This process, drives to a generation of a mutated copy of the initial microorganism. Certain constraints must be satisfied in order to keep a microorganism alive.
