We are currently studying the theory of automata networks
and their applications. Automata networks are discrete
dynamical systems which may exhibit complex behavior. For
instance, two-dimensional diffusive cellular automata have
been used to model the spread of infectious diseases in
moving populations. We are also interested in diffusion of innovations
in social systems, and models of highway traffic flow.
