Agent based Cellular Automata Simulation

This paper presents an actor-based software library, called Actomata, for the definition and simulation of cellular automata models. Using Actomata, each cell of a model is defined by an actor and the evolution of its state is built though the interaction with their neighbor cells via the exchange of messages. This kind of implementation simplifies the definition of the code driving the behavior of each cell and the distribution of simulations on a set of different computational nodes.
