Sommario/riassunto

Dit boekje bevat 50 taalkundige puzzels die in de afgelopen jaren gebruikt zijn bij de Nederlandse Taalkunde-Olympiade. Taal is niet moeilijk te doorgronden. Al met een beperkt aantal puzzelstukjes kun je gaan kijken, vergelijken en nadenken. Heb je er ooit over nagedacht wat ver- in Nederlandse werkwoorden betekent? Of hoe een Japanner het meervoud vormt? Hoe je moet tellen in het Eskimo? En hoe het spijkerschrift ooit is ontcijferd?De puzzels laten je spelenderwijs kennismaken met de essentie van taal. Vijftig taalkundige problemen, van Nederland tot Australië, uit dode en levende talen, op

Sommario/riassunto

TheArti?cialLifetermappearedmorethan20yearsagoinasmallcornerofNew Mexico, USA. Since then the area has developed dramatically, many researchers joining enthusiastically and research groups sprouting



everywhere. This frenetic activity led to the emergence of several strands that are now established ?elds in themselves. We are now reaching a stage that one may describe as maturer: with more rigour, more benchmarks, more results, more stringent acceptance criteria, more applications, in brief, more sound science. This, which is the n- ural path of all new areas, comes at a price, however. A certain enthusiasm, a certain adventurousness from the early years is fading and may have been lost on the way. The ?eld has become more reasonable. To counterbalance this and to encourage lively discussions, a conceptual track, where papers were judged on criteria like importance and/or novelty of the concepts proposed rather than the experimental/theoretical results, has been introduced this year. A conference on a theme as broad as Arti?cial Life is bound to be very - verse,but a few tendencies emerged. First, ?elds like ‘Robotics and Autonomous Agents’ or ‘Evolutionary Computation’ are still extremely active and keep on bringing a wealth of results to the A-Life community. Even there, however, new tendencies appear, like collective robotics, and more speci?cally self-assembling robotics, which represent now a large subsection. Second, new areas appear.
