Abstract
This chapter describes the application of artificial life techniques (ALIFE) to the study of auction markets for electric power optimization. Artificial life techniques include: artificial neural networks (ANN), genetic algorithms (GA) and genetic programming (GP). All ALIFE techniques are based on biological models of evolution and of neurological functions.
