Cellular Automata: Research Towards Industry

This volume contains the papers presented at the 3rd Conference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry, ACRI 8, held in Trieste, Italy, 7-9 October 1998. The conference aimed to present an international forum for researchers who are active in this field, as well as for those interested in evaluating the possibility of applying them in their own fields. Cellular automata are used in several fields, including the simulation of different kinds of dynamical systems (physical, biological, socio-economical), machine vision, parallel computation, and the theoretical analysis of complex dynamics.
