Abstract
Recent work on Kauffman's cellular automata and analogies with phase transitions in statistical physics is reviewed. We concentrate on nearest-neighbour models in square, honeycomb and simple-cubic lattices, using Monte Carlo simulation and analogies with percolation. This paper is complemented by that of Derrida (this volume), who also deals with infinite-dimension models, solved analytically or numerically, and emphasizes analogies with spin glasses.
