The Gossip Model is a Cellular Automata model, using the concept of N/E/S/W-neighbourhood (also called von Neumann neighbourhood) where a grid cell has 4 neighbours.
An integer grid has been chosen as the space model. Grid cells have either the value 0, representing a cell that has not yet received the gossip, or the value 1, representing a cell that has received the gossip.
The model is based on two rules:
