This paper describes the main features of the CARPET language and its practical use for programming three-dimensional models of the contamination of soils developed in the CABOTO project. CARPET is a high-level language based on the cellular automata model, which supports rapid prototyping of a large number of applications in science and engineering.

Abstract
This paper describes the main features of the CARPET language and its practical use for programming three-dimensional models of the contamination of soils developed in the CABOTO project. CARPET is a high-level language based on the cellular automata model, which supports rapid prototyping of a large number of applications in science and engineering. A CARPET implementation has been used for programming cellular algorithms in the CAMEL parallel system. The CAMEL (Cellular Automata environMent for systEms modeling) system is a parallel implementation of a software environment for the simulation and modeling of complex systems based on cellular automata. CAMEL offers the computing power of a parallel computer although hiding, by the CARPET language, the architecture issues to a user. The CARPET language allows the design of parallel programs for describing the actions of thousands of simple active interacting agents that might simulate the behavior of very complex systems.
