Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on cellular automata (CA) and related discrete dynamical systems. Topics include the design and implementation of new CA models, such as Self-Timed Cellular Automata for circuit simulation and toothpick-type CA for pattern generation. The scope also covers methods for mapping general-purpose problems to CA models, including generating CA from standard C code, and the computational capacity of iterative arrays with set storage. Additionally, the journal explores extensions to CA frameworks, such as incorporating memory into discrete dynamical systems, and comparative studies of routing protocols in partitioned CA networks.
