Introducing Complex Automata for Modelling Multi-Scale Complex Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce Complex Automata, a generic methodology to model multi-scale complex systems. A Complex Automaton is a scalable hierarchical aggregation of Cellular Automata and agent-based models, each modelling components of the Complex System. The components represent a sub-system operating on its typical spatial and temporal scales. The concept of a scale map is introduced to identify components and to define appropriate couplings. For two case studies a high level description in terms of a Complex Automaton will be presented.

GAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING
In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...
متن کاملNEW DIRECTION IN FUZZY TREE AUTOMATA
In this paper, our focus of attention is the proper propagationof fuzzy degrees in determinization of $Nondeterministic$ $Fuzzy$$Finite$ $Tree$ $Automata$ (NFFTA). Initially, two determinizationmethods are introduced which have some limitations (one inbehavior preserving and other in type of fuzzy operations). Inorder to eliminate these limitations and increasing theefficiency of FFTA, we defin...
متن کاملComplex Automata as a Novel Conceptual Framework for Modeling Biomedical Phenomena
We show that the complex automata (CxA) paradigm can serve as a robust general framework which can be applied for developing advanced models of biological systems. CxA integrates particle method (PM) and cellular automata (CA) computational techniques. Instead of developing complicated multi-scale models which consist of many submodels representing various scales coupled by a scales-bridging me...
متن کاملTowards a Complex Automata Framework for Multi-scale Modeling: Formalism and the Scale Separation Map
Complex Automata were recently proposed as a paradigm to model multi-scale complex systems. The concept is formalized and the scale separation map is further investigated in relation with its capability to specify the components of Complex Automata. Five classes of scale separation are identified, each potentially giving rise to a specific multiscale modeling paradigm. A number of canonical exa...
متن کاملBone Remodelling: A Complex Automata-Based Model Running in BioShape
Bone remodelling, as many biological phenomena, is inherently multi-scale, i.e. it is characterised by interactions involving di erent scales at the same time. At this aim, we exploit the Complex Automata paradigm and the BioShape 3D spatial simulator respectively (i) for describing the bone remodelling process in terms of a 2-scale aggregation of uniform Cellular Automata coupled by a well-est...
