CA-based Algorithms

CA-based algorithms, or cellular automata-based algorithms, are computational methods that use a grid of cells, each in a specific state (like on or off), to simulate complex systems. Each cell updates its state based on simple rules related to the states of neighboring cells. This approach allows researchers to model various phenomena, from natural systems like traffic flow and forest fires to aspects of computer graphics. By observing how simple interactions can lead to intricate patterns over time, CA-based algorithms provide insights into the behavior and evolution of complex systems.
