%T Lazy Cellular Automata with Communicating Processes %A Adam T. Sampson, Peter H. Welch, Frederick R. M. Barnes %E Jan F. Broenink, Herman Roebbers, Johan P. E. Sunter, Peter H. Welch, David C. Wood %B Communicating Process Architectures 2005 %X Cellular automata (CAs) are good examples of systems in which large numbers of autonomous entities exhibit emergent behaviour.Using the occam\-pi and JCSP communicating process systems, we show how to construct &\[sh]8220;lazy&\[sh]8221; and &\[sh]8220;just\-in\-time&\[sh]8221; models of cellular automata, which permit very efficient parallel simulation of sparse CA populations on shared\-memory and distributed systems.
