This award to David Griffeath at the University of Wisconsin will support the development of a user-friendly interface to the Cellular Automaton Machine (CAM-8). The CAM is a parallel processing machine that was built to handle problems modeling cellular automata. Cellular automata are rules, usually spatially local in nature, which give rise to interesting and complex global spatial dynamics. This interface will be developed in conjunction with ecologists and will focus on models of interest to them. This Small Grant for Exploratory Research will investigate the potential for the cellular automata in modeling and understanding ecological processes with complex spatial dynamics.

该奖项授予威斯康星州大学的大卫格里菲思，将支持细胞自动机（CAM-8）的用户友好界面的开发。 CAM是一种并行处理机，用于处理元胞自动机建模问题。 元胞自动机是规则，通常是空间局部的性质，这会产生有趣的和复杂的全球空间动力学。 该界面将与生态学家一起开发，并将侧重于他们感兴趣的模型。 这个探索性研究的小补助金将调查细胞自动机在建模和理解具有复杂空间动态的生态过程中的潜力。
