This book explores Probabilistic Cellular Automata (PCA) from the
perspectives of statistical mechanics, probability theory,
computational biology and computer science. PCA are extensions of
the well-known Cellular Automata models of complex systems,
characterized by random updating rules. Thanks to their
probabilistic component, PCA offer flexible computing tools for
complex numerical constructions, and realistic simulation tools for
phenomena driven by interactions among a large number of
neighboring structures. PCA are currently being used in various
fields, ranging from pure probability to the social sciences and
including a wealth of scientific and technological applications.
This situation has produced a highly diversified pool of
theoreticians, developers and practitioners whose interaction is
highly desirable but can be hampered by differences in jargon and
focus. This book - just as the workshop on which it is based - is
an attempt to overcome these difference and foster interest among
newcomers and interaction between practitioners from different
fields. It is not intended as a treatise, but rather as a gentle
introduction to the role and relevance of PCA technology,
illustrated with a number of applications in probability,
statistical mechanics, computer science, the natural sciences and
dynamical systems. As such, it will be of interest to students and
non-specialists looking to enter the field and to explore its
challenges and open issues.
