Abstract

In this paper, we modeled a virtual life (VL) that reacts to the user s action according to its own behavioral characteristics and grows itself. We established some conditions with which such a VL is designed. Genetic Algorithm is used for the growth process that changes the VL s properties. In this process, the parameter values of the VL s properties are encoded as one chromosome, and the GA operations change this chromosome. The VL s reaction to the user s action is determined by these properties as well as the general expectation of each reaction. These properties are evaluated through 5 fitness measures so as to deal with multi-objective criteria. Here, we present the simulation of the growth Process, and show some experimental results.
