Overview

This book gathers selected research papers presented at the Second Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology (ASCAT 2023), organized by academicians from Kolkata at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, West Bengal, India, and by researchers of Cellular Automata India, a research group which was created during the pandemic, during March 2–4, 2023. The book presents one of the most emergent areas in natural computing, cellular automaton (CA). CA is a paradigm of uniform fine-grained parallel computation which has been explored to understand complex systems by developing its model at the microscopic level. The book discusses many real-life problems in the domain of pattern recognition and classification, clustering, electronic circuit design, bioinformatics, material and mining engineering, modelling of physical and social systems, etc., by using CA.

Author Information

Prof. Sukanta Das currently works as an associate professor in the Department of Information Technology in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (formerly known as Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur). He received his Ph.D. in 2007 from Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, and master’s in engineering in 2002 from Bengal Engineering College (DU) (currently known as IIEST, Shibpur) in Computer Science and Technology. He joined his alma mater as a faculty in 2003. He has been doing research in the different aspects of cellular automata for more than twenty years. His research area includes Cellular Automata: Theory and Applications. He is also a member of IFIP Working Group 1.5 (on “Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems”) and several programming committees for international conferences on cellular automata. He has more than 70 articles under his name. Currently, he is exploring the computational abilities of cellular automata, non-uniformity in cellular automata,  chaos and randomness in cellular automata, and democracy and computation. Apart from the research, Prof. Das plays also an active role of science activist to advocate against pseudoscience, astrology, and mysticism, and to promote scientific outlook in society.  Prof. Genaro Martínez is a full-time researcher at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City. He is an active member of several institutions and laboratories around the world, such as the International Unconventional Computing Laboratory at the University of the West of England in the United Kingdom; the Foundation of Computer Science Laboratory at the Hiroshima University in Japan; the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong in China; the Unconventional Algorithms and Computing Lab at the Technical University of Ostrava in Czech Republic; the Laboratoire de Recherche Scientifique in France; and the Institut des Systèmes Complexes en Normandie in France. Prof. Martinez is an editorial member of the Journal of Cellular Automata, Complex Systems, Physica D, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Artificial Life, Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, Information Sciences, International Journal of Natural Computing Research, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, and the Mathematical Reviews, American Mathematical Society. Prof. Martinez together with Prof. Adamatzky had published the book ""Designing Beauty: The Art of Cellular Automata"". Also, he is leading two computational paradigms in cellular automata theory: colliders cellular automata and computation by competing patterns with cellular automata.
