Cellular automata in your iphone

Now you can have a Cellular Automata (app) model in your iPhone (iPod Touch or iPad). It's the SPEED Sim (aka Spatial Population Ecological and Epidemiological Dynamics Simulator).


Dr. David Hiebeler and his team at the SPEED Lab (Spatial Population Ecological and Epidemiological Dynamics Lab) developed this app that allows you to explore the dynamics of three spatial simulation models.
  • Dispersal 2: Population model with local dispersal at distance 1 or 2, and long-distance dispersal.
  • SIRS: Spatial epidemiological model.
  • Vaccinated communities: Epidemiological model with varying vaccination levels among different communities.

Here you may also access some cellular automata Java applets!
