Title
Discrete Dynamics Lab
Description
Introduction
DDLab is an interactive graphics program for researching the dynamics of finite binary networks, from Cellular Automata to random Boolean networks and beyond, including their attractor basins. The program is relevant to the study of complexity, emergent phenomena, neural computation and aspects of theoretical biology such as modeling gene regulatory networks, and to the study of discrete dynamical networks in general in a variety of fields.
Networks can be created with any architecture from cellular automata to random Boolean networks. Cellular automata have a homogeneous rule and a nearest neighbor connections, whereas random Boolean networks have arbitrary connections, and rules which may be different at each site. The results in references [Wuensche 1992-2000] may be implemented with DDLab.
Source code and platforms
The DDLab source code is written in C. The program is maintained for the following platforms: DOS/PC, UNIX/XWindows-Sun OS 4.1 and Solaris, Linux, and Irix SGI. DDLab has been ported to hpux/X11/HP by users. This manual covers all versions, which function in essentially the same way, though aspects of the graphics presentation might be slightly different.
