Abstract(s)
Os autómatos celulares são interessantes modelos teóricos para a modelagem de processos complexos, tornando-os mais fáceis de entender. Estes modelos têm sido utilizados em diversos ramos das ciências. Tal como outros modelos matemático-teóricos, os autómatos celulares têm potencial para ser utilizados em meios musicais. Esta Tese introduz o leitor, de forma abrangente, no universo dos autómatos celulares. Primeiramente, são explicadas as bases dos autómatos celulares, seguidas por exemplos de aplicações nas ciências. A segunda parte centra-se sobre as aplicações musicais de autómatos celulares, numa abordagem teórica, enquanto a terceira parte apresenta três casos de estudo que usam os processos teóricos definidos anteriormente.
Cellular automata are interesting theoretical models for modelling complex processes to make them easier to understand. These models have been used in various branches of sciences. Just like other mathematical-theoretical models, cellular automata have a potential to be used for musical means. This thesis introduces the reader in a comprehensive way to the universe of cellular automata. First, the basics of cellular automata are explained, followed by examples of applications in the sciences. The second part focuses on the musical applications of cellular automata in a theoretical way, whereas the third part shows three case studies that use the processes set out in the previous part.
