Rock-fall poses a continuous hazard in mountain areas worldwide. Despite the fact that rock
fall is a simple landslide type to model, only a few attempts have been made to establish …

Landslides play an important role in the evolution of landforms and represent a serious
hazard in many areas of the World. In places, fatalities and economic damage caused by …

Flash floods have occurred frequently in the urban areas of southern China. An effective
process-oriented urban flood inundation model is urgently needed for urban storm-water …

A Cellular Automata model for soil erosion by water, SCAVATU, was developed. It involves a
larger number of states in comparison to the previous models, including altitude, water …

Risks and damages related to effusive eruptions (eg, the most recent Etna eruptions) require
satisfactory models to reliably forecast lava flow paths. An overview of the principal …

Cellular Automata (CA) represent a formal frame for dynamical systems, which evolve on the
base of local interactions. Some types of landslide, such as debris flows, match well this …

As it is well known forest fires can present serious risk to people and can have enormous
environmental impact. Therefore researchers and land managers are increasingly interested …

This introductory paper gives a short survey of cellular automata (CAs), from different points
of view. It starts with the main definitions and theoretical results about CAs as an abstract …

This paper presents an intelligent approach to discover transition rules for cellular automata
(CA) by using cuckoo search (CS) algorithm. CS algorithm is a novel evolutionary search …

Cellular Automata (CA), a paradigm of parallel computing, represent an alternative to
differential equations for modelling and simulating very complex phenomena, whose …
