TL;DR: Newton’s language Regiment, also a functional language, is designed to gather streams of data from regions of the amorphous computer and accumulate them at a single point, which allows Regiment to provide region-wide summary functions that are difficult to implement in Proto.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that amorphous media can be programmed to draw any prespeci ed planar graph and upper bounds on the amount of storage required by the individual processors to realize such a graph are obtained.

TL;DR: Overall performance in component tasks and complete cardiac surgical procedures improved during simulation-based training and imparts skill sets for management of adverse events and can help produce safer surgeons.

TL;DR: The cardiac surgical simulation preparation described here would appear to be able to contribute positively to the training of residents in low-volume centres, as well as having the potential for application in other settings as a training tool or clinical skills assessment or accreditation device.

TL;DR: A structure called an AC Hierarchy is introduced, which logically organizes processors into groups at different levels of granularity, which simplifies programming of an amorphous computer through new language abstractions, facilitates the design of efficient and robust algorithms, and simplifies the analysis of their performance.
