Abstract

The bioremediation of contaminated soils is one of main strategies for site clean-up. The most important principle of bioremediation is that micro- organisms (mainly bacteria) can be used to destroy hazardous contaminants or transform them into a less harmful form. Currently, we are facing this problem in the CABOTO project within the PCI ESPRIT framework. The CABOTO objective concerns the design and implementation of a parallel simulator for the bioremediation of contaminated soils by using models based on the cellular automata (CA) theory. For the parallel implementing of the simulator has been used the CAMEL system, a parallel environment for the simulation and modelling of complex systems based on CA. This paper describes the model used to simulate the contaminati
