tomata modelling, like opinion formation or neighbourhood segregation. However, to our knowledge there are virtually no insights into how regular vs. irregular grid structures affect cellular dynamics [14]. Cellular Automata extensions using Voronoi spatial models have been previously proposed to overcome this problem. In these approaches one uses convex cells with different sizes and shapes that can provide a much more adequate terrain partition. A different problem lies in the fact that, on regular Cellular Automata, each cell has a finite set of possible states, and transition between states is a crisp function of present cell state and neighbour cells state. Crisp data modelling and crisp transition mechanisms have known limitations when one trying to model and simulate real-world processes where uncertainty and imprecision is present and cannot simply be ignored [28]. The most prominent reason is that Cellular Automata can be seen as multi-agent system based on locality with overlapping interaction structures. In this perspective, Cellular Automata is attractive as a modelling framework that may provide a better understanding of micro/macro relations. We will give some background specific to the study of cellular automata, and then background from other fields that are necessary for the work here [17]. We will then conclude with some potential questions that merit future investigation, and where appropriate we will discuss potential consequences of such questions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
