Digital evolution is a branch of artificial life in which self-replicating computer programs-digital organisms-mutate and evolve within a user-defined computational environment. In spite of its value in biology, we still lack an up-to-date and comprehensive database on digital organisms resulting from evolution…

—Smart ecosystems are the drivers of modern society. They control critical infrastructures, ensuring their stable and sustainable operation. Smart ecosystems are governed by digital twins—real-time virtual representations of physical infrastructure. To support the open-ended and reactive traits of smart ecosystems…

'Øystein Haugen'] Despite best efforts, various challenges remain in the creation and maintenance processes of digital twins (DTs). One of those primary challenges is the constant, continuous and omnipresent evolution of systems, their user's needs and their environment, demanding the adaptation of the developed DT…

The outcome of evolution sometimes appears to be predictable, as in the evolution of the same characteristics independently in convergent evolution. Other times, evolution’s path depends on starting conditions or chance events, and some forms evolve just once and never appear again. Is convergence, and by implication…

In the digital innovation ecosystem, the symbiosis mode formed between ecosystem members not only relates to their survival and development but also affects the ecosystem’s symbiosis evolution mechanism. Based on symbiosis theory, this study first explores the evolutionary equilibrium strategy and its stability for…

Evolvability is defined as the capacity of populations to generate adaptive variation that promotes evolution by natural selection^1–4^. Lineages in a fluctuating environment must rapidly adapt to different states of the environment to survive. One possible solution is for populations to evolve increased evolvability.…

Digital chemistry represents a transformative approach integrating computational methods, digital data, and automation within the chemical sciences. It is defined by the use of digital tools and algorithms to simulate, predict, accelerate, and analyze chemical processes and properties, augmenting traditional…

Digitalization and virtualization are extremely active and important approaches in a large scope of activities (marketing, selling, enterprise management, logistics). Tourism management is also highly concerned by this evolution. In this paper we try to present today's situation based on a 7-week trip showing…

as an example Authors: ['Chris Partridge' 'Andrew Mitchell' 'Sergio de Cesare' 'John Beverley'] Abstract— Our aim in this paper is to outline how the design space for the ontologization process is richer than current practice would suggest. We point out that engineering processes as well as products need to be designed…

The evolution of complex circuits remains a challenge for the Evolvable Hardware field in spite much effort. There are two major issues: the amount of testing required and the low evolvability of representation structures to handle complex circuitry, at least partially due to the destructive effects of genetic…

Simple multicellularity evolves readily in diverse unicellular species, but nascent multicellular groups are prone to reversion to unicellularity. Successful transitions to multicellularity therefore require subsequent mutations that promote the entrenchment of the higher-level unit, stabilizing it through time. Here…

'Juan Bautista Herrero Olaizola'] The current study uses “digital addiction” as an umbrella term to refer to addiction to the Internet, social media, smartphones, digital devices, video games, or similar digital technologies. The study aims to investigate the scientific landscape of the digital addiction research field…

'Ibragim Suleimenov'] The analysis of the existing literature demonstrates that in order to address the fundamental challenges associated with the origin of life, it is essential to consider this problem from a comprehensive perspective, specifically from the vantage point of the general theory of evolution of complex…

The landscape of digital servitization in the manufacturing sector is evolving, marked by a strategic shift from traditional product-centric to platform business models (BMs). Manufacturing firms often employ a blend of approaches to develop business-to-business (B2B) platforms, leading to significant reconfigurations…

This paper presents a simplified model of iterative compound optimization in drug/agrochemical discovery. Compounds are represented as binary strings, with project evolution simulated through random bit changes. The model reproduces key statistical features of real projects, including activity distributions and…

The history of the development of two tools for managing research resources and the data produced from them is summarised. These tools are a portal or electronic laboratory notebook for computational chemistry interfaced in one direction to a high-performance computing resource and in the other direction to a modern…

'Hairulnizam Bin Mahdin' 'Zubaile Bin Abdullah' 'Mazidah Binti Mat Rejab'] To achieve the maximum return-of-investment for the adoption of Digital-Twin in manufacturing, organizations should be totally aware about the challenges that limit the widely adoption as well as opportunities that may create real-added values…

We present two digital-based serious games aiming to engage students and the general public with battery sciences. The first one is a multiscale simulator in Mixed Reality of a battery-powered Electric Vehicle (EV) interacting with an Electrical Grid. One of the players drives the EV in a Virtual Reality (VR)…

Deriving versatile and robust mechanistic models from experimental data is a key challenge in engineering and natural sciences. This is especially true in chemical reaction engineering, where reactor manufacturers and operators increasingly pursue the development and maintenance of digital twins that rely on frequent…

Natural selection acts on developmentally constructed phenotypes, raising the question of how development affects evolution. A mathematical framework that explicitly integrates development into evolution has recently been derived. Here we use this framework to analyse how development affects evolution. We show that…

Many well-documented macro-evolutionary phenomena, such as increases in organization hierarchy, or sudden and episodic creation of new taxa, still challenge current evolutionary theories. Here we show a new mechanism that can explain them. We begin by showing how the order of mutations can alter evolutionary…

The periodic system emerges by intertwining order and similarity relationships among chemical elements, which in turn arise from known substances at a given time that constitute the chemical space. Although the system has been adjusted to accommodate new elements, the connection with the chemical space has been largely…
