Using Bottom-Up Models to Investigate the Evolution of Life.. - Tim Taylor (Correct)
....considerations that are specifically relevant to A life models designed to investigate the evolution of life. This is not, of course, the first time that concerns have been raised about the methodology of A life, and very little is said here that has not been said before (see, for example, 4] [1], 5] However, I believe that much current A life work still suffers from poor methodology, and that it is therefore important to stress such issues at every available opportunity. 2 General Considerations 2.1 Explicit Assumptions and Predictions The bottom up approach to studying high level ....

Simulation Models as Opaque Thought Experiments - Di Paolo, Noble, Bullock (2000) (2 citations) Self-citation (Di paolo) (Correct)
.... within equational models include the representation of spatially distributed phenotypes, and repeated interactions between individuals (Nowak May, 1992; Lindgren Nordahl, 1994) The difficulty in constructing equational models of many verbal arguments is highlighted by Miller (1995) and Di Paolo (1996). Both suggest that simulation models of such arguments might prove easier to construct. However, some authors go further, claiming that equational models and individual based simulation models can be distinguished on the basis of general considerations such as clarity, explicitness, and ....
.... a trivial addition to the arsenal of modelling techniques at the disposal of, for instance, the theoretical biologist, but offer a chance to reconsider and explore the theoretical commitments made within existing modelling paradigms and compare them to those made within the new modelling paradigm (Di Paolo, 1996). In summary, evolutionary simulation models may sometimes offer advantages over traditional methods. However, this is not true as a general rule, and must be assessed on a case by case basis. Furthermore, in claiming that, when they are advantageous, evolutionary simulation models are merely a ....
