Abstract: The author proposed a computation model called Chemical Casting Model (CCM), which is targeted self-organizing computation based on local and partial information. In CCM, a program consists of production rules and evaluation functions that are computed with local information. CCM is applied to 0-1 Knapsack Problems, but near optimal solutions can not be found using a simple program without new mechanisms or with simulated annealing when n > 20. However, optimal solutions are found by the probability of 37% or more using the same rule with rule composition method. If the rule composition is automated, optimal solutions are found by a high probability using very simple rules and evaluation functions only.
