Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation of cellular automata based on the alteration of genetic sequences in bacteria. The work is composed of five chapters covering the problem, the system’s design, the software simulation of the system and future issues on the problem. The section covering the problem explores the reasons for this work as well as issues that this work solves. The section covering system design details the modified genetic sequences and the algorithm that these sequences implement. The simulation section describes the layout of an experiment along with the test cases experimented on. Finally, the future work section points out lacking information from the work or possible difficulties this solution reveals.
