Modeling Multi-Cellular Organisms with Distributed Cellular Automata
Speaker: Professor Peter Sloot, University of Amsterdam
When: 2005-10-20 15:00:00
Venue: G23 3.01 Gold Coast campus, Griffith University
Host: (seminar host unavailable)
Abstract:We developed a Cellular Automata based model to simulate growth and
form in stony Corals (such as Pocillopora Damicornis. The goal of
the research is to investigate how multi-scale/multi-physics models
can assist us in understanding embryogenises at large.
Keyywords: Multi-physics modelling, Cellular Automata, Growth and Form

Biography:Prof. Dr. Peter M.A. Sloot, studied physics and chemistry, did his
PhD work at the Dutch Cancer institute (NKI) and is currently a full
Professor in Computational Sciences at the Informatics Institute of
the Faculty of Science of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the
Netherlands. In his research, he focuses on theory, methods and
tools for distributed mesoscopic simulation of complex systems. He
is General Chair of the ICCS series of conferences on Computational
Sciences and Editor in Chief of Elsevierùs science journal: FGCS:
International Journal on Grid Computing. Professor Sloot received in
1996 an NNV distinguished professorship in computational physics and
has published over 90 journal papers, 110 proceeding papers, 5
chapters in books and over 50 technical reports. He supervised 15
PhD theses. His current interest is in Grid Computing and
distributed simulation.
