John Horton Conway, the playful and legendary mathematician's wide range of contributions in science which includes research areas—Game of Life in cellular automata, theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory, and coding theory.

This book brings together the impact of Prof. John Horton Conway, the playful and legendary mathematician's wide range of contributions in science which includes research areas—Game of Life in cellular automata, theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory, and coding theory.  It contains transcripts where some eminent scientists have shared their first-hand experience of interacting with Conway, as well as some invited research articles from the experts focusing on Game of Life, cellular automata, and the diverse research directions that started with Conway's Game of Life. The book paints a portrait of Conway's research life and philosophical direction in mathematics and is of interest to whoever wants to explore his contribution to the history and philosophy of mathematics and computer science. It is designed as a small tribute to Prof. Conway whom we lost on April 11, 2020.

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the Third Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology, ASCAT 2024, held in Durgapur, India, during February 29 - March 2, 2024. The 15 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 4th Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology, ASCAT 2025, held in Ranchi, India, during March 6–8, 2025. The 16 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions.

text-autospace: none;">This book covers the major theories of non-uniform cellular automata that have been developed during the last four decades. A few open problems are also included to trigger a reader to undertake research on non-uniform cellular automata to address the problems.

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 5th Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology, ASCAT 2026, held in Calicut, India, during February 25–27, 2026.The 20 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions.They focus on cellular automata, both as a technological framework and as a model of computation across diverse fields.

This book gathers selected research papers presented at the First Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology (ASCAT 2022), organized online by academicians from Kolkata, India, during March 3–5, 2022. The book presents one of the most emergent areas in natural computing, cellular automaton (CA). CA is a paradigm of uniform fine-grained parallel computation which has been explored to understand complex systems by developing its model at the microscopic level. The book discusses many real-life problems in the domain of very large-scale integration (VLSI) design and test, pattern recognition and classification, cryptography, pseudo-random pattern generation, image processing, sensor networks, material science, etc., by using CA.

This book gathers selected research papers presented at the Second Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology (ASCAT 2023), organized by academicians from Kolkata at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, West Bengal, India, and by researchers of Cellular Automata India, a research group which was created during the pandemic, during March 2–4, 2023. The book presents one of the most emergent areas in natural computing, cellular automaton (CA). CA is a paradigm of uniform fine-grained parallel computation which has been explored to understand complex systems by developing its model at the microscopic level. The book discusses many real-life problems in the domain of pattern recognition and classification, clustering, electronic circuit design, bioinformatics, material and mining engineering, modelling of physical and social systems, etc., by using CA.
