Genetic approaches to search for computing patterns in cellular automata (2009)
Journal Article
Sapin, E., Bull, L., & Adamatzky, A. (2009). Genetic approaches to search for computing patterns in cellular automata. IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, 4(3), 20-28. https://doi.org/10.1109/MCI.2009.933097

The emergence of collision based computing in complex systems with local interactions is discussed. Simulations of logic gates have been inspired by the simulation of an AND gate by the Game of Life. The evolutionary algorithm is also used to modify... Read More about Genetic approaches to search for computing patterns in cellular automata.

Experimental validation of binary collisions between wave fragments in the photosensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction (2009)
Journal Article
Toth, R., Stone, C., Adamatzky, A., de Lacy Costello, B., & Bull, L. (2009). Experimental validation of binary collisions between wave fragments in the photosensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction. Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, 41(4), 1605-1615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2008.07.001

Using the examples of an excitable chemical system (the Belousov–Zhabotinsky medium) and plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum we show that universal computation in a geometrically unconstrained medium is only possible when resources (excitability or c...

We present experimental verification of wave fragment collisions in the sub-excitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium observed previously in simulation [Adamatzky A, De Lacy Costello B. Binary collisions between wave fragments in a sub-excitable Belousov...

Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media (2009)
Journal Article
Toth, R., De Lacy Costello, B., Stone, C., Masere, J., Adamatzky, A., & Bull, L. (2009). Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media. Physical Review E, 79(3), 035101(R) (4 pages). https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.79.035101

Spontaneous spiral formation occurs when an excitation wave is input to a heterogeneous network of low- and high-light-intensity cells projected onto a light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The range of network conditions where spirals form... Read More about Spiral formation and degeneration in heterogeneous excitable media.

Developing proximity graphs by physarum polycephalum: Does the plasmodium follow the toussaint hierarchy? (2009)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A. (2009). Developing proximity graphs by physarum polycephalum: Does the plasmodium follow the toussaint hierarchy?. Parallel Processing Letters, 19(1), 105-127. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0129626409000109

Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum spans sources of nutrients and constructs varieties of protoplasmic networks during its foraging behavior. When the plasmodium is placed on a substrate populated with sources of nutrients, it spans the sources with...

Implementation of glider guns in the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2009)
Journal Article
De Lacy Costello, B., Toth, R., Stone, C., Adamatzky, A., & Bull, L. (2009). Implementation of glider guns in the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium. Physical Review E, 79(2), 026114. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.79.026114

In cellular automata models a glider gun is an oscillating pattern of nonquiescent states that periodically emits traveling localizations (gliders). The glider streams can be combined to construct functionally complete systems of logical gates and th...
