Reversible computing is a paradigm where computing models are so defined that they reflect physical reversibility, one of the fundamental microscopic physical property of Nature. ...
Abstract. A number-conserving cellular automaton is a cellular automaton whose states are integers and whose transition function keeps the sum of all cells constant throughout its ...
This paper studies two kinds of simulation between cellular automata: simulations based on factor and simulations based on sub-automaton. We show that these two kinds of simulation...

Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
Understanding self-replication from an information processing perspective is important because, amongother things, it can shed light on molecular mechanismsof biological reproduct...
