Fuzzy cellular automata (FCA) are continuous cellular automata where the local rule is defined as the “fuzzification” of the local rule of a corresponding Boolean cellular automaton in disjunctive normal form. In this paper we consider circular FCA; their asymptotic behavior has been observed through simulations and FCA have been empirically classified accordingly. No analytical study exists so...

In this paper, a framework for an intelligent bedside monitor is presented. The monitor derives an abstraction of the current status of a patient by fuzzy state transitions on pre-processed input continuously supplied by clinical instrumentation. So far, an implementation called DIAMON-1 has been used for off-line evaluation of data of patients suffering from the adult respiratory distress synd...

Image segmentation is one of the most important and challenging problems in image processing. The main purpose of image segmentation is to partition an image into a set of disjoint regions with uniform attributes. In this study, we propose an improved method for edge detection and image segmentation using fuzzy cellular automata. In the first stage, we introduce a new edge detection method base...

The main purpose of this work is to understand some limitations introduced by the classical definitions of cellnlar automata (CA). To this end, we have defined a new model of CAs (fuzzy CAs) which allows the observation of interesting "chaotic" properties of elementary CAs. To date neither a formal nor a precise definition of "chaos" in CAs exists; we believe that the proposed model provides a ...

We consider the effect of the underlying logical structure on the asymptotic behavior of space-time diagrams of elementary Boolean cellular automata by focussing on the important case of Rule 110 and its counterparts under various many-valued logics. In particular we show that for a (continuous) probabilistic logic the corresponding rule, dubbed PCA 110, appears to have space-time diagrams with...

The large number of vehicles in big cities has become a serious problem in adjusting the timing of traffic signal at intersections of road networks. Traffic light control is an important factor in road traffic system. In this paper, optimization of traffic signal timing at signalized intersections on road network is presented. The movement of vehicles on road network is modeled by cellular auto...

In this paper, first a simplified version of a general fuzzy automaton with a fixed c is defined and then a subepisode of a simplified version of a general fuzzy automaton with a constant c is defined and explained connected and strong connected them, and finally, a model of quasi-order hypergroup on general fuzzy automaton with constant c is presented and the relationships between them are rev...
