With the advent of computers and their use in simulation has come the need to model complex interactions. One of the ways of doing this is to consider all interacting entities in a system as processors--each entity carries out its own computations, and...

A cellular automaton (plural: cellular automata) is a discrete model studied in computability theory, mathematics, and theoretical biology. It consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states. The grid can be in any finite...

WHILE some scientists are working out how to do biology with computers, others are trying to do computing with biology. The field was inaugurated in 1994 by Len Adleman of the University of Southern California, who wrote a paper explaining how he had...

A model based on the cellular automaton (CA) technique for the simulation of dendritic growth controlled by solutal effects in the low Peclet number regime was developed. The model does not use an analytical solution to determine the velocity of the solid-liquid (SL) interface...
