An artificial chemistry is a man-made system
which is similar to a real chemical system. Its application
may be considered along three main-dimensions: (1) modeling, (2)
information processing, and (3) optimization. [Dittrich et al.,
2001] A chemical metaphor is a programming paradigm where data and procedures are abstracted as molecules and the notion of computation is conceived as chemical reactions [CD-JRA-2.3.4] |
