Abstract :
The paper deals with a prototype digital hardware architecture implementing a “Cellular Fuzzy Processing (CFP)” array. The powerful collective behavior of such systems derives basically from the ability to specify their dynamics only within the scope of a single cell and of the nearest neighboring cells. Some off-line simulation demonstrates the capability to reproduce a wide set of complex phenomena such as patterns formation, spiral waves and auto-waves dynamics, self-organization phenomena, and PDE numerical solving
