Cellular Automata and Complex Systems
Eleonora Bilotta, Pietro Pantano · IGI Global eBooks · 2010
Cellular automata (CA) are a class of spatially and temporally discrete mathematical systems characterized by local interaction and synchronous dynamical evolution, which show complex behavior and are able to model biological phenomena. This book describes the use of cellular automata to provide important insights into a vast range of physical, biological, social, economic and psychological phenomena. It presents contemporary research on discrete dynamical systems such as one-dimensional and two-dimensional cellular automata and outlines how these systems can be exploited for artistic purposes, translating their mathematical configurations into music and visual media
