in this paper an application of cellular learning automata (cla) to vlsi placement is presented. the cla, which is introduced for the first time in this paper, is different from standard cellular learning automata in two respects. it has input and the cell neighborhood varies during the operation of cla. the proposed cla based algorithm for vlsi placement is tested on number of placement proble...

The cellular learning automata, which is a combination of cellular automata, and learning automata, is a new recently introduced model. This model is superior to cellular automata because of its ability to learn and is also superior to a single learning automaton because it is a collection of learning automata which can interact with each other. The basic idea of cellular learning automata, whi...

Cellular learning automata is a combination of cellular automata and learning automata. The synchronous version of cellular learning automata in which all learning automata in different cells are activated synchronously, has found many applications. In some applications a type of cellular learning automata in which learning automata in different cells are activated asynchronously (asynchronous ...

noise removal operation is commonly applied as pre-processing step before subsequent image processing tasks due to the occurrence of noise during acquisition or transmission process. a common problem in imaging systems by using cmos or ccd sensors is appearance of  the salt and pepper noise. this paper presents cellular automata (ca) framework for noise removal of distorted image by the salt an...
