Introduction to the Theory of Cellular Automata and One-Dimensional Traffic Simulation Richard Cochinos Abstract This paper is roughly divided into two parts. After a brief introduction, I will discuss the theory and properties underlying cellular automata. Included in this section will be a definition, a list of the physical properties, rules and rules assigning, and a description of some of the dynamical properties inherent in automata. The second section of this paper will be devoted to discussing cellular automata as a model for traffic flow. It will include a one-dimensional example and conclusions from the model. Background Introduction This paper will mainly discuss the theory behind cellular automata. It is expansive, so not everything could be included. Before concluding I will work through a 1-dimentional traffic model as an example of several of the outlined concepts. Definition Physicists View A cellular automaton is a discrete dynamical system. Each point in a regular spatial lattice, called a cell, can have any one of a finite number of states. The states in the cells of a lattice are updated according to a local rule. That is, the state of the cell at a given time depends only on its own state one time step previously, and the states of its nearby neighbors at the previous time step. All cells in the lattice are updated synchronously. The state of the lattice advances in discrete time steps. Mathematicians View: Notation: d=dimension

Welcome to Mirek's Cellebration 1D and 2D Cellular Automata explorer by Mirek Wojtowicz Cellular Automata What is MCell? CA rules lexicon CA gallery ... Home T his site is devoted to Cellular Automata, one of the most intriguing and admirable aspects of mathematics. Perhaps you have already heard about the Game of Life, one of oldest and best-explored Cellular Automata. Game of Life is only a tip of a large cellular iceberg. Actually, the count of even simple Cellular Automata is estimated to be *much* larger then the count of particles in our Universe! I decided to explore a bit of this huge world. To do it I developed my own Cellular Automata simulator, MCell, and with help from many people I collected a big library of Cellular Automata families, rules, and patterns. You can see much of my collection on these pages. Anyhow, the pages show only a static side of Cellular Automata. Cellular Automata are in fact very dynamic, so I strongly encourage you to download the free MCell software and/or run the MJCell Java applet to see the patterns running! And then, who knows, maybe you will also add something new to the Cellular Automata world?

Title Image by Mari Sayama Structurally Dissolvable Self-Reproducing Loop Evoloop : Evolving SDSR Loop Last modified on March 2, 2007 Binghamton University, State University of New York [What's new?] [What's the SDSR loop and the evoloop [Publications] ... [Related sites] What's new? My affiliation and contact info has been finally updated. Links to Wikipedia articles have been added to "Related sites" What's the SDSR loop and the evoloop The "Structurally Dissolvable Self-Reproducing (SDSR) loop" is an improved version of Langton's self-reproducing (SR) loop that has the ability to dissolve its own structure as well as to reproduce itself. Due to this ability it can die and disappear when it faces difficult situations such as a shortage of space for self-reproduction. The evoloop is a more elaborated version of the SDSR loop which spontaneously varies by direct interaction of phenotypes and evolves toward different species (often smaller ones) through natural selection. Everything occurs within a simple, deterministic nine-state five-neighbor cellular automata space. Evolution was made possible by the enhancement of the "adaptability" of the state-transition rules and the slight modification of initial configurations of loops. For more details refer to my PhD dissertation.

68. Cellular Automaton Cellular automata are the simplest models of spatially distributed processes. They consist of an array of cells, each of which is allowed to be in one of a few states. http://www.exploratorium.edu/complexity/CompLexicon/automaton.html

Cellular Automata (1947-present) Cellular automata are the simplest models of spatially distributed processes. They consist of an array of cells, each of which is allowed to be in one of a few states. At the same time, each cell looks to its neighbors to see what states they are in. Using this information each cell applies a simple rule to determine what state it should change to. This basic step is repeated over the whole array, again and again. Some of the patterns produced, by several simple cellular automata, are shown on this page. Cellular automata were invented in the 1940's by the mathematicians John von Neuman and Stanislaw Ulam, while they were working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in northern central New Mexico. The most famous cellular automaton is the "Game Of Life" invented by mathematician John Conway, in the 1960's. Despite the simplicity of the rules governing the changes of state as the automaton moves from one generation to the next, the evolution of such a system is complex indeed.

The applet lancher-panel should load in place of this message.] If you see a blank rectangle above, the JAR file (169K) containing the applet's classes is downloading. Once that is loaded the applet's own messages will take over. It's recommended you refrain from clicking any links in the present browser window before the applet has finished its startup, as it will delay the initialization process and may even jeopardize its integrity. While you're waiting, please read the introductory information below. Then, after you've launched the applet's main window, the first couple of Quick Tips , accessible on the Help menu, can help you get started. Cellsprings/Web is a general 2D cellular automaton explorer implemented as a Java 1.1 applet. I've styled it an "emergetarium", because its special mission in life is to showcase the astonishing generative capacity of many simple CAs. Thus the applet favors CA rules that make the most of random and/or simple beginnings, and some of its rule presets - many discovered just within the past year - are real rags-to-riches stars. But Cellsprings/Web users are not confined to the installed rules and seeds - they can create and save such data to the server for all to access. So the applet is an emergetarium in a double sense.

71. Breeding Cellular Automata This program animates many different kinds of cellular automata (CA) rules, and let s you breed a population of them to become increasingly complex Life http://www.ventrella.com/Alife/Cells/cells.html

Ventrella.com Breeding Gliders in Cellular Automata Breed a population of CA's to be Closer to Langton's "Edge of Chaos", and Gliders will naturally emerge. DOWNLOAD (Windows only :( Introduction Check it out. This program animates many different kinds of cellular automata (CA) rules, and let's you breed a population of them to become increasingly complex Life universes, analogous to Conway's Game of Life. You can breed them such that coherent space-time structures (gliders) emerge. This breeder uses an experimental interface, in which evolutionary dynamics goes on in the background and you simply judge various CA's. As you judge them, the population evolves according to a Darwinian fitness ranking that you affect by your judgements. The idea for this was inspired by Kirk Israel , through one of our conversations, while I was teaching a class at Tufts University in 1995. Background For some background on Cellular Automata, check out the research of Chris Langton (Alife II proceedings, 1992). I seem to recall Karl Sims wrote something on evolving CA's (a SIGGRAPH paper, I'll look it up for next update of this page). Also see a BEAUTIFUL treatment of many classic CA's in...

This is a hobby page mostly devoted to SARCASim, first generation ARCA software for Windows. Its also a repository for odds and ends which aren't quite appropriate for my "slick" cellular automata sites, which I will attempt to direct you towards. NEWS FLASH! Here's an example of a page produced by my latest downloadable software. AuthorXY is a tool for generating simple cellular automata comparison experiments: As you can see, I've added hexagonal cellular automata support to Modern Cellular Automata making it suitable for viewing some Collidoscope rules. I've added a Hexagonal Extension to the site where many Collidoscope rules can be viewed. A new map will assist you in finding your way around the site. Collidoscope represents the next generation of ARCA, a quantum leap forward. It installs as a cellular automata screensaver and runs large hexagonal simulations at roughly sixty generations per second. Collidoscope allows anyone to surf cellular automata rule space, even if they are not aware that they are surfing. One thousand six hundred and seventy three copies of Collidoscope were downloaded from ZDNet alone in a single day when they made Collidoscope their screen saver of the day.

75. Gliders In "Life"-Like Cellular Automata Mar 4, 2005 An online interactive database of rules with gliders, by D. Eppstein. http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/ca/

Which "Life"-Like Systems Have Gliders? John Conway's "Game of Life" has fascinated and inspired many enthusiasts, due to the emergence of complex behavior from a very simple system. One of the many interesting phenomena in life is the existence of "gliders": small patterns that move across the grid. Some authors have asserted that the gliders and other complex behaviors occurring in Life are unusual, for instance Wolfram: "Except for a few simple variants on the Game of Life, no other definite class-4 two-dimensional cellular automata were found in a random sample of several thousand outer totalistic rules." Are gliders really so rare? I have investigated whether gliders exist in many semitotalistic rules similar to Life, where the behavior of a cell depends only on its own state and the number of live neighbors. The results show that the existence of gliders is commonplace, contradicting Wolfram and calling into question his classification of cellular automata Jason Summers' c/5 diagonal spaceship in Life Online interactive database of rules with gliders Paper describing my glider search program and MSRI talk on streaming video Rules with self-replicating patterns New!

77. Cage A generic and extensible cellular automaton simulation engine written in Python. http://www.alcyone.com/software/cage/

Table of Contents cage Summary A generic and fairly complete cellular automata simulation engine. Overview CAGE is a fairy generic and complete cellular automaton simulation engine in Python. It supports both 1D and 2D automata, a variety of prepackaged rules, and the concept of "agents" which can move about independently on the map for implementing agent behavior. CAGE comes with numerous examples of fully-functional CA systems, including Conway's Game of Life, Langton's self-reproducing automaton, Langton's "vants," and 1D automata rule explorers. It also comes with simple displayers (including a curses interface for 2D automata). Also included is a unique implementation of a finite state machine (ant.py). Note that CAGE is implemented entirely in Python, and due to its very generalized nature, is not designed for speed. It is sufficient to update a 80x24 Conway's Game of Life grid at a few times per second on a modern machine. CAGE is intended primarily as an education toolkit, rather than an industrial-strength CA simulator. Getting the software The current version of cage is 1.1.4.
