[comp.theory.cell-automata] Hodgepodge machine

bjornal@ifi.uio.no (Bj|rn Alsberg) (05/29/90)

In Scientific American August 1988 Computer Recreations the
hodgepodge machine was demonstrated. The behavior of this
cellular automaton simulated heterogenous catalytic reactions "at
the surface of thousands of tiny palladium crystallites dispersed
througout a porous medium". But no referenecs were given of the
work on the hodgepodge machine by Martin Gerhardt and Heike
Schuster of the University of Bielefeld in West Germany. Can
anybody give reference and/or e-mail addresses to persons
involved in this research?
Also interested in references to other CA which provide good
models for the Zhabotinsky reaction.
