Artificial life, complex systems and cloud computing: a short review
This is an incremental review paper for researchers in artificial life and complex systems, summarizing existing intersections without presenting new results.
The paper reviews the intersection of cloud computing with complex systems and artificial life, exploring how cloud computing inspires new models and algorithms in these fields.
Cloud computing is the prevailing mode of designing, creating and deploying complex applications nowadays. Its underlying assumptions include distributed computing, but also new concepts that need to be incorporated in the different fields. In this short paper we will make a review of how the world of cloud computing has intersected the complex systems and artificial life field, and how it has been used as inspiration for new models or implementation of new and powerful algorithms
