A Developmental Model for Generative Media

Abstract. Developmental models simulate the spatio-temporal development of a complex system. The system described in this paper combines the advantages of a number of previously disparate models, such as timed Lsystems and cellular programming, into a single system with extensive modeling flexibility. The new system includes the ability to specify dynamic hierarchies as part of the specification, and a decoupling of cell development from interpretation. Examples in application areas of computer animation and music synthesis are provided.
