Cellular Automata and Complex Systems: Methods for Modeling Biological Phenomena

Cellular Automata (CA) are a class of spatially and temporally discrete mathematical systems characterized by local interaction and synchronous dynamical evolution, which show complex behavior and are able to model biological phenomena. Cellular Automata and Complex Systems: Methods for Modeling Biological Phenomena describes the use of cellular automata to provide important insights into a vast range of physical, biological, social, economic and psychological phenomena. This book presents contemporary research on discrete dynamical systems such as one-dimensional and two-dimensional cellular automata and outlines how these systems can be exploited for artistic purposes, translating their mathematical configurations into music and visual media.
