We show that the Tile Assembly Model exhibits a strong notion of universality where the goal is to give a single tile assembly system that simulates the behavior of any other tile...

Abstract. This paper reviews the history of embedded, evolvable selfreplicating structures implemented as cellular automata systems. We relate recent advances in this field to the...
The virtual ant introduced by Langton [Physica D 22 (1986) 120] has an interesting behavior, which has been studied in several contexts. Here we give a construction to calculate a...
Abstract. We investigate the computational capabilities of probabilistic cellular automata by means of the density classification problem. We find that a specific probabilistic ...
Understanding self-replication from an information processing perspective is important because, amongother things, it can shed light on molecular mechanismsof biological reproduct...
