Abstract
For some time now, people have speculated on what makes the living different from the non-living; and what the possibility of creating synthetic system from natural system is. From the mid-1980s, artificial life (ALife) has studied living systems using a synthetic approach. This approach builds life in order to understand it better in any of the three branches of ALife i.e. software, hardware, or wetware. Being an area that is related with other disciplines, ALife seems to be losing its boundaries and merging with other fields. This paper gives an overview of the historical background of ALife, its application areas, the common properties, and the classification of research in ALife
