Additive Cellular Automata Vol 1: Theory and Applications, Volume 1 (Practitioners) - Softcover

This book presents an extensive survey and report of related research on important developments in cellular automata (CA) theory. The authors introduce you to this theory in a comprehensive manner that will help you understand the basics of CA and be prepared for further research. They illustrate the matrix algebraic tools that characterize group CA and help develop its applications in the field of VLSI testing.

The text examines schemes based on easily testable FSM, bit-error correcting code, byte error correcting code, and characterization of 2D cellular automata. In addition, it looks into CA-based universal pattern generation, data encryption, and synthesis of easily testable combinational logic. The book covers new characterizations of group CA behavior, CA-based tools for fault diagnosis, and a wide variety of applications to solve real-life problems.

The authors present an extensive survey that reports on related research and new developments in the field of Cellular Automata (CA). Additive Cellular Automata: Theory and Applications will help you understand the basics of CA and prepare for further research. The book illustrates the matrix algebraic tools that characterize both group and non-group CA and proposes a wide variety of applications to solve real life problems.

The book examines CA applications in the fields of VLSI testing, synthesis of easily testable FSM and combinational logic circuit, error correcting code, data encryption, generation of hashing function, and design of pseudo-associative memory. The book also covers characterization of two-dimensional Cellular Automata.
