9. 9/22GSC 2003 - Bone Adaptation as a Cellular Automata Cellular Automata What makes them attractive? 1)An overall global behavior can be computed by local rules. 1)Inherent massive parallel algorithm. What are the challenges? 1)Given a CA rule, what are its properties? 2)Given the evolution of a system, what is the CA rule?
