Artificial Life
Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2003; US$ 199.00This Special Double Issue on Artificial Life, compiled by Dr. Andrew Adamatzky of the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Mathematical Sciences of the University of the West of England, UK, contains contributions by some of the most outstanding scientists, artists and academicians who are engaged in research and development of artificial life, complex... more...
Computing in Nonlinear Media and Automata Collectives
CRC Press 2001; US$ 199.95Nonlinear media exhibit a variety of spatio-temporal phenomena. Circular waves, spiral waves and self-localized excitations are the most familiar examples. How to use these phenomena to perform useful computations is the main theme of this book. more...
Dynamics Of Crowd-minds
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 75.40A crowd-mind emerges when formation of a crowd causes fusion of individual minds into one collective mind. Members of the crowd lose their individuality. The deindividuation leads to derationalization: emotional, impulsive and irrational behavior, self-catalytic activities, memory impairment, perceptual distortion, hyper-responsiveness, and distortion... more...
Game of Life Cellular Automata
Springer 2010; US$ 129.99In the late 1960s, British mathematician John Conway invented a virtual mathematical machine that operates on a two-dimensional array of square cell. Each cell takes two states, live and dead. The cells' states are updated simultaneously and in discrete time. A dead cell comes to life if it has exactly three live neighbours. A live cell remains... more...
Physarum Machines
World Scientific Publishing Company 2010; US$ 127.00A Physarum machine is a programmable amorphous biological computer experimentally implemented in the vegetative state of true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. It comprises an amorphous yellowish mass with networks of protoplasmic veins, programmed by spatial configurations of attracting and repelling gradients. This book demonstrates how to create... more...
Reaction-Diffusion Automata
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99Reaction-diffusion and excitable media are amongst most intriguing substrates. Despite apparent simplicity of the physical processes involved the media exhibit a wide range of amazing patterns: from target and spiral waves to travelling localisations and stationary breathing patterns. These media are at the heart of most natural processes, including... more...
Bioevaluation of World Transport Networks
World Scientific Publishing Company 2012; US$ 153.00Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrous single cell well known for its task-solving abilities solves computational geometry and logical problems, navigates robots and generates music.The slime mould could also build motorways, highways and expressways. It is used to analyse transport networks of Africa, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,... more...
