abstract = "Many classifications for Cellular Automata have been
proposed during time. One of them is based on Langton
Parameter. Depending on the probability of a cell of
being active at one moment, Cellular Automata are
divided into four types.
Experimentally, interesting Cellular Automata have been shown to have Langton parameter values close to 0.3. It is said that near this value, Artificial Life is possible. We use a Genetic Programming technique to obtain transition rules with any desired value for lambda. Exploring an environment of the theoretical chaos limit, and measuring the entropy of the resulting automata, we search for Cellular Automata with interesting behavior.",
