Cellular Automata: Algorithms and Applications
Cellular automata (CA) are an interesting computation medium to study because of their simplicity and inherently parallel operation. These characteristics make them a useful and efficient computation tool for applications such as cryptography and physical systems modelling, particularly when …

Structural Design Using Cellular Automata
… discusses the application of massively scalable cellular automata (CA) techniques to structural design. There are two sets of CA rules, one used to propagate stresses and strains, and one to perform design analysis. These rules can be applied serially, periodically, or concurrently, and Jacobi or …

Cellular automata models for excitable media
A cellular automaton is developed for simulating excitable media. First, general "masks" as discrete approximations to the diffusion equation are examined, showing how to calculate the diffusion coefficient from the elements of the mask. The mask is then combined with a thresholding operation to …

Evolving Cellular Automata Rules for Maze Generation
Maze running games represent a popular genre of video games and the automated designof playable mazes thus provides an interesting research challenge for computationalintelligence research in games. The ability to automatically create levels would be ofparticular benefit to maze running games as …

Properties and Behaviours of Fuzzy Cellular Automata
Cellular automata are systems of interconnected cells which are discrete in space, time and state. Cell states are updated synchronously according to a local rule which is dependent upon the current state of the given cell and those of its neighbours in a pre-defined neighbourhood. The local rule …

Design and application of convergent cellular automata
… morphogenesis. By analysing morphogenesis with a cellular automata model we deduce a means by which this self-organisation might be achieved. This mechanism is then adapted to the design of self-organising patterns, reliable electronic systems and self-assembling systems. The limitations of the …

Dynamic water quality modeling using cellular automata
… here focused on a modeling approach, known as cellular automata (CA), which is characterized by a high degree of parallelism and is thus well suited to implementation on parallel processors. The inherent degree of parallelism also exhibited by the random-walk particle method provided a suitable …

Heterogenous motorised traffic flow modelling using cellular automata
… for homogeneous vehicle type. A two-component cellular automata (2-CA) methodology is used to examine traffic patterns for single-lane, multi-lane controlled and uncontrolled intersections and roundabouts. In this heterogeneous model (binary mix), space mapping rules are used for each vehicle …

Cellular Automata for Structural Optimization on Recongfigurable Computers
… analysis and optimization techniques. Cellular automata theory provides a method to model these problems in a format conducive to representation on a reconfigurable computer. The calculations do not need to be executed with high precision and can be performed in parallel. By …

Lattice-gas cellular automata for the analysis of cancer invasion
… studied with the help of mathematical analysis. Cellular automata (CA) can be viewed as simple models of self-organizing complex systems in which collective behavior can emerge out of an ensemble of many interacting "simple" components. In particular, we focus on an important class of …

An Exploration of Rule Clustering in Cellular Automata Rule Spaces
… systems that has not been fully explored is cellular automata. Since its discovery by John von Neumann, there have been no consistent ways of categorizing similarities between cellular automata rules or collecting similar rules for observation. This thesis introduces an approach to …

AutomaTiles : tangible cellular automata for playful engagement with systems thinking
There is an increasingly vital awareness that our world is an aggregate of complex systems, emergent behavior, and system dynamics. The perceptual and analytical tools for exploring and studying these systems, however, have generally been relegated to scientists (whether mathematicians, physicists, …
