This is a very limited and idiosyncratic list of researchers who have been significantly active in artificial life, presented as some initial possibilities for researcher presentations. Many many other names could be added – if you find another alife researcher that interests you, just add them, or check with the instructor if you are unsure.

If you select one as your subject, put your name onto the line so everybody knows. Once again, first-come, first-served.
