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
