"Global Computation in Cellular Automata"
    
ABSTRACT: Cellular Automata incorporate study of artificial life, chaotic attractors and universal computation. This field examines the interrelation of structure and dynamics. Cellular Automata are simple constructions, displaying very complex behavior when performing global computation. My research introduces Cellular Automata and discusses observations made when running simulations of these structures. The aim of research is to find order in the development of randomly generated systems, using graph theory.
