Abstract
This paper introduces the application of locally connected computing cells for distributed parallel processing. Cellular Automata are presented as a model of ultra fine grain parallelism, and a brief introduction to their notation and application provided. A machine architecture developed at the University of York, the Fuzzy Automata Machine (FAMe) is presented, and its application to Cellular Neural Networks discussed.
