Publisher: MIT Press Comments: An international journal devoted to experimental and theoretical research on adaptive behavior in animals and in autonomous artificial systems, with emphasis on mechanisms, organizational principles, and architectures that can be expressed in computational, physical, or mathematical models.Among its scientific objectives, the Journal aims to emphasize an approach complementary to traditional AI, in which basic abilities that allow animals to survive, or robots to perform their mission in unpredictable environments, will be studied in preference to more elaborated and human-specific abilities. The Journal also aims to investigate which new insights into intelligence or cognition can be achieved by explicitly taking into account the environmental feedback --mediated by behavior--that an animal or a robot receives, instead of studying components of intelligence in isolation.
