The Universe as a Cellular Automata?

Can someone point me in the direction of any articles about attempts to 
create a cellular automaton that models the physical universe? How successful 
are CA's in reproducing the peculiar "clumping" (eg the structure of the 
elementary particles) found in the real world? I've read about how the game 
of life produces "gliders" and such like, but the physical world exhibits 
sort of recursive structure. Is relativity a problem in such models? Or QM?

Thanks for any info,

Dave Griffiths
