Sukanta Das currently works as Associate Professor and Head, Department of Information Technology in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (formerly known as Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur). He received his Ph.D. in 2007 from Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur (Currently known as IIEST, Shibpur) in Computer Science and Technology. He has been doing research in the different aspects of cellular automata for more than twenty years. His research area includes cellular automata: theory and applications. He is also Member of IFIP Working Group 1.5 (on “Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems”) and several programming committees for international conferences on cellular automata. He has more than 70 articles under his name. Currently, he is exploring the computational abilities of cellular automata, the non-uniform cellular automata, (partial) number conservation in cellular automata, and chaos and randomness in cellular automata. Genaro Martínez is Full-Time Researcher at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City. He is Active Member of several institutions and laboratories around the world, such as: the International Unconventional Computing Laboratory at the University of the West of England in the UK; the Foundation of Computer Science Laboratory at the Hiroshima University in Japan; the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong in China; the Unconventional Algorithms and Computing Lab at the Technical University of Ostrava in Czech Republic; the Laboratoire de Recherche Scientifique in France; and at the Institut des Systèmes Complexes en Normandie in France. He is Editorial Member of the Journal of Cellular Automata, Complex Systems, Physica D, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Artificial Life, Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, Information Sciences, International Journal of Natural Computing Research, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, and the Mathematical Reviews, American Mathematical Society. He together with Prof. Adamatzky had published the book „Designing Beauty: The Art of Cellular Automata.“ Also, he is leading two computational paradigms in cellular automata theory: colliders cellular automata and computation by competing patterns with cellular automata.
