Artificial life, also known as digital organisms, has been useful in testing various evolutionary hypotheses. DOSE is one of the platforms for experimenting with digital organisms and had been used in several studies. However, the internal architecture of DOSE does not allow for easy processing of simulation results despite storing the state of each digital organism and the world for each generation in an SQLite database. To address this problem, we implemented DOSSIER, a Python-based toolkit that can connect with the SQLite database, facilitate data extraction and processing into a standardized table of fitness scores.
