A guided tour of asynchronous cellular automata

Research on asynchronous cellular automata has received a great amount of attention these last years and has turned to a thriving field. We survey the recent research that has been carried out on this topic and present a wide state of the art where computing and modelling issues are both represented.Comment: To appear in the Journal of Cellular Automat

Bifurcations of Local Structure Maps as Predictors of Phase Transitions in Asynchronous Cellular Automata

A long version can be found as HAL report hal-00921295, see: https://hal.inria.fr/hal-00921295International audienceWe show that the local structure approximation of sufficiently high order can predict the existence of second order phase transitions belonging to the directed percolation university class in α-asynchronous cellular automata
