Abstract

One of the prominent features of the Cellular Automata (CA) model is its synchronous mode of operation, meaning that all cells are updated simultaneously. but this feature is far from being realistic from a biological point of view as well as from a computational point of view. Past research has mainly concentrated on studying Asynchronous CAs in themselves, trying to determine what behaviours were an "artifact" of the global clock. In this paper, I propose to evolve Asynchronous CAs that compute successfully one of the well-studied task for regular CSs: The synchronisation task. As I will show evolved solutions are both unexpected and best for uncertain criteria.
