Lecturer "Recent advances on the design of synchronization protocols for cellular automata -A Survey-"

Abstract The firing squad synchronization problem has been studied extensively for more than forty years, and a rich variety of synchronization algorithms have been proposed. In this talk, we examine the state transition rule sets for the famous firing squad synchronization algorithms that give a finite-state protocol for synchronizing large-scale cellular automata and present a comparative study of the optimum-time synchronization protocols for one-dimensional cellular automata. The protocols being compared are Balzer [1969], Gerken [1986], Mazoyer [1987], Waksman [1968] and a number of revised versions thereof. We present herein a survey anda comparison of the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the optimum-time synchronization algorithms developed thus far for one-dimensional cellular arrays. Several new results and viewpoints are also given.
