From the abstract
We present what we argue is the generic generalization of Conway's "Game of Life" to a continuous domain. We describe the theoretical model and the explicit implementation on a computer.

Aren't cellular automata in continuous space just PDE's? If so, what is the equation being integrated? EDIT: found the paper: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1111.1567v2.pdf
