Automata Ita

SoftColor Server Automata is a server software for advanced color correction, image editing and color management workflow automation. Automata works independently on the background and can work with multiple simultaneously workflows. Server Automata can have unlimited number of different workflows and it has support for file logistics operations. It loads automatically new and changed image files from the input folder and after processing it saves images to the output folder.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2021, held in July 2021. Due to Covid-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 13 regular papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The topics of the papers cover various fields in the application, implementation, and theory of automata and related structures.

Cellular Automata Transforms describes a new approach to using the dynamical system, popularly known as cellular automata (CA), as a tool for conducting transforms on data. Cellular automata have generated a great deal of interest since the early 1960s when John Conway created the `Game of Life'. This book takes a more serious look at CA by describing methods by which information building blocks, called basis functions (or bases), can be generated from the evolving states. These information blocks can then be used to construct any data. A typical dynamical system such as CA tend to involve an infinite possibilities of rules that define the inherent elements, neighborhood size, shape, number of states, and modes of association, etc. To be able to build these building blocks an elegant method had to be developed to address a large subset of these rules. A new formula, which allows for the definition a large subset of possible rules, is described in the book. The robustness of this formula allows searching of the CA rule space in order to develop applications for multimedia compression, data encryption and process modeling.

This book gathers selected research papers presented at the First Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology (ASCAT 2022), organized online by academicians from Kolkata, India, during March 3–5, 2022. The book presents one of the most emergent areas in natural computing, cellular automaton (CA). CA is a paradigm of uniform fine-grained parallel computation which has been explored to understand complex systems by developing its model at the microscopic level. The book discusses many real-life problems in the domain of very large-scale integration (VLSI) design and test, pattern recognition and classification, cryptography, pseudo-random pattern generation, image processing, sensor networks, material science, etc., by using CA.

Deeply rooted in fundamental research in Mathematics and Computer Science, Cellular Automata (CA) are recognized as an intuitive modeling paradigm for Complex Systems. Already very basic CA, with extremely simple micro dynamics such as the Game of Life, show an almost endless display of complex emergent behavior. Conversely, CA can also be designed to produce a desired emergent behavior, using either theoretical methodologies or evolutionary techniques. Meanwhile, beyond the original realm of applications - Physics, Computer Science, and Mathematics – CA have also become work horses in very different disciplines such as epidemiology, immunology, sociology, and finance.
