Self-replicating loops: a survey

Pages 633-643 | Received 23 Feb 2012, Accepted 30 Apr 2012, Published online: 21 Jun 2012
 

Abstract

This article presents a survey of some of the main research on the development of self-replicating loops. The defining feature of these cellular automata is their ability to create identical copies of themselves by constantly executing a set of instructions dynamically stored within their structure. Interest in these structures has grown in recent years as a possible solution to tackle some of the issues relative to the introduction of next-generation molecular-scale electronics.
