Abstract
Cellular Automaton (CA) is widely used in land change modeling. In this technical note, we describe two CA: the Game of Life and the CA used in the software package DINAMICA EGO.
See Chap. 3 about simulation and the short presentations in Part V of this book about CA_MARKOV, Dinamica EGO, Metronamica and APoLUS.
